Description
Performance Sports Ski Rental near Purgatory Ski Resort
TripOutside's Take
After personally testing all of the ski rental shops around Purgatory Resort, we hand-selected Performance Sports for our platform based on three key factors: their meticulous boot fitting process, consistently well-tuned equipment, and genuine expertise in matching gear to Purgatory's varied terrain. During our own rental experience, their staff took the time to adjust our bindings perfectly and recommended specific skis based on the conditions that week—details that made a noticeable difference on the mountain.
What sets Performance Sports apart is their 30+ years of local knowledge. They understand that Purgatory's slopes range from gentle beginner runs to challenging expert terrain, and they stock equipment accordingly. This isn't a corporate rental counter—it's a locally-owned shop where the staff actually ski the mountain and can give you real advice about current conditions and which runs to hit.

Expert Rental Selection Guide
Choosing the right rental package can make or break your ski day. Here's what we recommend based on skill level and goals:
For Advanced Skiers: The Premium Package features the latest models with responsive edge control—essential for Purgatory's steeper runs like Ray's Ridge. Fresh equipment means better performance on varied snow conditions.
For Beginners to Intermediates: The Sport Package offers the best value. These newer, forgiving skis help build confidence while still performing well on blues and easier blacks. Perfect if you're progressing beyond the bunny slopes.
For True Beginners: The Base Package includes soft-flexing skis and boots that make learning more comfortable. Ideal for first-timers or anyone sticking to Columbine and the easier greens.
For Kids: Youth packages are thoughtfully designed with weight limits and sizing in mind. Kids under 100 lbs get properly-sized equipment, while more experienced young skiers can access adult-sized boots for better progression.

There is a shuttle available from Cascade Village but it is only for residents and guests staying at Cascade Village. If you are a guest at Cascade, we highly recommend taking a shuttle to Purgatory.

Yes. There is ample parking for you to come pick up and drop off the skis. Please do not leave the vehicle unattended underneath the canopy area however, that is only for drop-offs and pick-ups only. There is parking next to the building on the right as you drive into Cascade Village.
Can delivery ski rentals be dropped off at the shop at the end of the rental?
Yes. You can drop off skis at the ski shop after your rental but the rental price for delivery does not change due to that.

Unfortunately, we do not. The latest ski rental drop off is 6 pm.
Do you offer ski storage?
The only ski storage is at Purgatory Mountain. It's ~$14/night/skis
How often are the rental skis waxed and tuned?
All the skis are inspected every single time to maintain the highest level of tune. Whether waxing or edging is needed, we make sure that we always rent the skis at their peak performance level.
Do you offer custom boot fitting?
Since we do not sell boots or skis, we do not offer custom boot fitting. If you make any changes to the boot fitting, please make sure that it is returned the boots in the same condition as you rented them.
What are the youth kids boots sizes that you offer?
- Ski boots: 14 is the smallest boot in the industry and we carry that, which is a youth 6.
- For snowboarding, size 10 is the smallest boot size for snowboarding boots.
I'm not sure how many days I'm going to ski, how many days should I reserve for?
We recommend that you reserve for the least amount of days and if you need to add additional days during your trip, you can always do that. Since we do not offer any refunds, reserving for the least amount of days ensures that you only pay for what you use.
How do I make sure that I get the best skis during my rental?
We allocate ski rentals on a first come first basis as the reservations are made. We allocate our best gear in order of the reservation that was received. This means you get newer and nicer gear if you reserve early.
