Explore our expert breakdown so you can find the ideal package for your next mountain adventure. Note: The models found below are a sample of what is typically available, but exact models cannot be guaranteed.

Demo Package

Our demo fleet consists of industry-leading skis and boards and are a great way to test out different shapes, styles and technologies as your skills progress or mountain conditions change. With top-of-the-line skis, boots, and boards, our demo fleet features the newest technology in snowsports. Whether you want the best gear to effortlessly cruise the groomers or you’re looking to get steep and deep, the demo package has something to help you take your skills to the next level.

Performance Package

For skiers and riders continuing to step up their skills on the slopes, our performance package is the ultimate combination of versatility and stability — without sacrificing response. Whether cruising groomers at moderate speeds or navigating challenging, more variable terrain, you’ll be able to dive into turns and carve with confidence or stay light on your feet as needed while navigating any run.

Sport Package

Designed to be easiest to learn on, sport package equipment is optimized for turning at slower speeds, sliding, and stopping. Long story short, this option is great for first-timers, anyone who enjoys green runs, or for anyone gradually gaining confidence on blue runs.

Kids Ski & Snowboard Package

Our kids ski package is ideal for children 12 years or younger of any ability level. You can count on our experts to fit your child with the best, safest gear possible. Whether they are heading over to Ski & Snowboard School or are already passing you on the hill, your child gain confidence in comfort as they learn new skills on the slopes. Every setup is custom-fitted to your child’s age and ability, allowing them to pick up new tips and techniques while having a blast out on the mountain.

FAQs

Does Kirkwood Mountain Sports rent helmets?

We do. You can add helmets to your rental package or pick one up on a first-come, first-serve basis at the shop. We don’t take reservations for helmets by themselves. Although helmets aren’t required, we strongly recommend them for anyone hitting the slopes.

What should I wear skiing at Kirkwood?

Great question! Check out our What to Wear Skiing blog post, with a free ski trip packing list included!

What if I return my skis early to Kirkwood Village Rentals?

We'll refund you for the remaining whole days that you won't use your equipment. Gear returned after 9 AM will be charged for that day.

Can I exchange my skis at Kirkwood Village Rentals?

Yes, you can swap out your skis any time at any Vail Resorts/Epic Mountain Gear location.

One of the biggest benefits of renting gear is that you can swap out your equipment partway through the day if it isn’t working out or conditions change. This guarantees you’re on the right gear with the right fit at all times. Each of the ten resorts that offer rental delivery has at least one on-site rental shop where you can stop in–even after only a few runs–and swap your gear out for something else. The same goes for your kids gear if they’re struggling or don’t feel comfortable. If something feels a little off or not riding well, change it out instead of having your little rippers getting frustrated or begging to head into the lodge early.

*Swaps are available within your rental category.

Can we pick up our skis the day before?

Yes, and we welcome it. Pick up your equipment any time after 3 PM and you won’t be charged for that day.

Can I bring my own boots?

Of course. On the equipment selection page (Step 3) un-check the box by boots when you pick your package. If you forget to pack your boots, they’re available for walk-in rentals on a first-come, first serve basis.

Do you have larger sizes of ski and snowboard boots?

We do, up to size 16 for skis and 15 for snowboards. They’re in demand, so reserve your package in advance to make sure they’re available when you need them.

Can I exchange my ski rental for a snowboard?

You can. Stop into any location to swap them out. There may be a price adjustment.

Can you deliver my rental equipment to my hotel?

No, this location does not offer delivery.

Can I choose my skis?

Our expert team members will have a suggested ski waiting for you on arrival based on your skier type, local conditions and your personal details. They’re happy to provide additional options if needed when you arrive.

Do you have ski clothing available for rent?

No, not at this time. Many Epic Mountain Rentals locations have accessories (gloves, goggles, helmets and more) for purchase. Check out these Kirkwood rental shops who also provide ski clothing rental.

Can I rent just boots without renting skis or a snowboard?

You can rent boots by themselves on a first-come, first-serve basis. We don’t take online reservations. They range from USD $15 to $25 per day. If you bring your own skis and want to rent boots with us, your bindings must meet manufacturer safety requirements. To make sure, we’ll run a functionality test. It costs about $30.

Can you store my equipment overnight?

Overnight Storage and Shoe Storage may be available at this location so you can leave your gear on the hill and pick it back up the next day. Ask a team member when you pick up your gear.

Can children under 18 rent gear?

We require a parent or legal guardian to sign a release of liability on behalf of an unaccompanied person younger than 18 years old. Download, complete and print this waiver and send it with your child. They will not be able to participate if the release is not signed. No exceptions.

What is the age limit for kids rentals?

Kids rentals are great for ages 12 years and under.

What equipment rentals are eligible for the 20% Epic Mountain Rewards passholder discount?

The following products are eligible for the 20% Pass Holder discount with Epic Mountain Rewards: Demo skis, Performance skis, Sport skis, Kids skis, Demo Snowboard, Sport Snowboard, and Kids Snowboard, Helmets, and Boots. Rental packages (skis or snowboard with boots and a helmet) and Delivery are also eligible for the 20% discount. The discount does not apply to damage waivers or facility fees.

The 20% Epic Pass holder discount on rentals can be used at the time of booking. Pass holders must log in to their account to book online to receive the 20% discount. The equipment rental discount is only valid when booking directly with a Vail Resorts owned and operated location.

How do I determine my skier type?

The factors that determine the release setting on your ski bindings include your height, weight, age, boot sole length, and your personal release preference. You are responsible for determining your own release preference based upon the chart below and for informing the ski shop technician of your preference. Your ski shop technician cannot make this determination for you. Be sure to provide accurate information regarding your height, weight, age and personal release preference. Errors may increase your risk of injury.

Type I: Entry-level skiers who are uncertain of their preference. Entry-level skiers and skiers who designate themselves as Type I receive lower than average ski binding release settings. This corresponds to easier ski binding release in a fall.

Type II: Most skiers are satisfied with a Type II setting. Skiers who designate themselves as Type II receive average ski binding release settings appropriate for most recreational skiing.

Type III: Skiers who designate themselves as Type III receive higher than average release settings. This corresponds to decreased risk of inadvertent binding release and increased risk of non-release. This classification is not recommended for skiers 47 lbs. (21 kg) and under.

If from experience, you have been dissatisfied with the release settings that result from your release preference, mention this to your binding ski shop technician.
