The Ski Areas Rentals & Accessories Buying Program (SARA-BP) is a collaborative purchasing initiative designed to help ski areas across the Midwest reduce costs and streamline procurement for rental equipment, accessories, and related products. By leveraging the collective buying power of participating member ski areas and associations, SARA-BP secures competitive pricing and favorable terms from trusted industry suppliers. Beyond cost savings, the program reinvests a portion of its proceeds directly back into the industry—funding scholarships, workforce development, and other strategic initiatives that support the long-term growth and sustainability of Midwest ski operations.
