Rentals | 26/27 Season

Our Rental Shop offers the latest ski and snowboard rental equipment in town. We strive to make your experience as easy and enjoyable as possible.

Rentals Information
  • Ski Package includes boots, skis, and poles. Snowboard Package includes boots and a snowboard.
  • Due to limited availability, Helmet Rentals are not available online or over the phone and must be purchased in person upon arrival, if available.
  • Rentals can be purchased as multi-day Rentals but must be used consecutively beginning on the first date selected at the time of purchase. 
  • Insurance is included for the duration of the rental at no additional cost. Insurance covers any kind of damage to the equipment while in use under normal skiing or snowboarding on trails at the ski area. The insurance does not cover loss, theft, use in terrain parks, and abuse of equipment. Abuse of equipment includes melted boots, multiple rock gouges, or damage incurred from skiing or snowboarding not on marked trails. Damage and replacement fees vary.
  • When picking up your Rentals, one of our Rental Techs will show you where the ski or snowboard number is located. Remember your number. Please make sure you only use the equipment that is set for you. Use your number to keep track of your equipment while on the mountain. The equipment looks alike, so make sure you are skiing or riding on the equipment that is assigned to you.
  • Rentals not returned by 9:00am the morning the rental is due will result in an additional fee charged to the responsible party. It is your responsibility to take care of any equipment in your possession, whether it is being used or not. Refunds or credit vouchers will not be issued for unused days.
