Behind Brugteski.dk
Secondskis.com was launched in October 2019 by Sigurd Ilsøe and Victor Juul. After that, we, Christoffer Klausen and Jakob Kjærgaard, took over the company in November 2020. We had the opportunity to buy the company during the Corona pandemic and didn't hesitate for a second!
What is Secondskis.com?
Secondskis.com is a Danish company specializing in the sale of used skis and ski equipment. The company's focus is on creating a new concept and making it possible for all Danish ski enthusiasts to buy ski equipment at reasonable prices. For many people, it doesn't pay to buy brand new ski equipment because it's simply too expensive compared to how much you use it! Additionally, it's also expensive in the long run to rent skis every year...
This is where used ski equipment comes in between either buying or renting equipment, as you can get good equipment that lasts for many years for little money. However, it's difficult to find the right equipment on the various marketplaces (DBA, Gul & Gratis, and so on), and you can't be 100% sure of the quality. This problem has been solved by Secondskis.com!
With us, we ensure to offer used quality equipment in the most well-known brands! We stand by our products and offer a money-back guarantee if you're not happy with your purchase. We ensure that all our skis have gone through a quality check, and all skis are newly sharpened and waxed. We have professional photos and offer a wide range of different skis and equipment.
How did the company start?
We had Thomas Uhrskov visit the store in Fredericia to talk a bit about how Secondskis.com actually came to be. A video has come out of it here, where you can hear a bit more about the history behind the company.
What can we do compared to other ski shops?
As the only online store in Denmark, we exclusively focus on used skis. But why, you might think? Everyone knows that ski holidays are some of the coolest things, but they can also quickly become really expensive. As a ski enthusiast, it's hard to afford a ski holiday during both Christmas, winter, and Easter holidays; because less just won't do?
Maybe you're a beginner and want your own skis but find it expensive to spend several thousand kroner on a pair of skis that you only use 1 week a year. Secondskis.com has just what you need. We offer quality skis in the most well-known brands for both beginners and skilled skiers.
We care about our environment
For us, social responsibility means a lot. We live in a time with natural changes, which are a result of the large CO2 emissions we humans produce. There is rarely snow in Denmark anymore, so how are we supposed to ski when there is no longer snow in Austria either...? We believe that it is better for all of us to reuse things multiple times than always to produce new ones.
With us, we only sell used skis in good condition, which still have many years of life left. This means that you as a consumer get cool skis for no money, and we don't just throw away good products. Therefore, be a good role model and trade skis with a good feeling in your stomach at Secondskis.com.
Mission & Vision
Mission: To make it possible for the average skier to buy their own ski equipment cheaply.
Vision: To create a sustainable Scandinavian ski concept that not only sells skis but is also a gathering place for ski enthusiasts.
Who are we?
We are 2 young men from Fredericia/Middelfart, both with a great passion for skiing. We are both from the year 2000 and have been skiing most of our lives. Skiing for us is more than just a sport; it's a passion. This is also the foundation for us owning a company that sells skis. We both have a business education in innovation, and when the opportunity came to run a company that sells skis in a different way, we didn't hesitate for a second!

Jakob Kjærgaard
Hi, my name is Jakob, I was born in the year 2000 and live in Odense. I completed my youth education in commerce at IBC Fredericia/Middelfart in the summer of 2020, and then I spent my gap year completing my military service at Oksbøl Barracks and working. Currently, I am studying HA business economics at SDU in Odense. In this way, I want to improve my skills in commerce and thus fulfill my dream of being an independent entrepreneur. The company is my greatest passion (apart from skiing), and it has always been a childhood dream for me to have my own company. That this should be a company that sells skis makes it all just much cooler!
