TGR Gear Swap: Three Threads You Can’t Miss This Holiday

The TGR Gear Swap is back again with the top gear swap forums of this holiday season. It’s the place to score a deal and keep high-quality gear out of the landfill. Where else can you find high-demand components and rare, sought-after skis all in one place?

With Christmas just around the corner and a massive storm cycle finally hitting the West, Palisades Tahoe and Kirkwood are looking at up to 90 inches this week, the forums are buzzing with excitement. Whether you are hunting for that perfect holiday gift or dialing in your setup for a powder-filled January, we’ve highlighted three essential threads generating major heat in the forum right now. Take a look, drop a comment, and get connected.

The most legendary thread in the forum is currently popping off as parents look to outfit the next generation for the holiday break. Kids grow out of boots, boards, and outerwear faster than you can say “pow day,” and this thread is where that challenge gets solved. This thread allows members to pass down outgrown boots, 125cm planks, and outerwear for "beer money" or just the cost of shipping. From Mantra Jrs to tiny Rossignols, this is where you ensure the groms are ready for the mountain without breaking the bank. It’s a collective effort to keep the stoke alive for the kids.

We’re bringing back the Pivot parts thread (again) because it’s one of the most useful and active forums. If there is one piece of gear that defines the TGR community, it is the Pivot binding. This thread is a digital gold mine for anyone looking to build a custom setup or revive a classic pair of skis. From single parts to full sets, it’s one of the best places to find Pivots in circulation when shops and brands can’t help. In a world where finding even the smallest binding parts can feel impossible, this thread is a vital resource for dedicated gear-heads.

With California and the Pacific Northwest finally getting new snow, the hunt for big-mountain powder sticks is on. This thread is made for members looking for specialized skis that can handle deep days while remaining light for touring. Community members are dropping recommendations and listing their own specialty "spicy" designs.

The TGR Gear Swap is more than a bulletin board; it’s a resource for anyone who lives action sports. You truly never know what part or setup you might stumble across. Ready to find your own score? Head over to the main TGR Gear Swap forum now and see what else the community is trading and sharing.
