Demo Snowboard Package

The Demo Snowboard Package provides top-of-the-line snowboard rental equipment for any snowboard style. Demo packages include our most current models of performance snowboards from the best brands. Our demo rental fleet is consistent with the equipment we have for sale in store.

The Demo Package consists of a selection of premium snowboards specific for your skiing or riding style, from the athletic beginner looking for equipment that will help you become a better skier more quickly, to the advanced or expert looking for a snowboard that will respond to more demanding terrain. If you're an advanced rider that doesn't want to be restrained by equipment, or wants a specialized board for the conditions, you'll find the demo package most appropriate.

All-Mountain Snowboard Package

The All-Mountain Snowboard Package offers a selection of snowboards specific to the current conditions and the terrain you want to ride. If you arrive during a week of bottomless powder you'll be able to choose a wide board that floats on the surface, or if you arrive amidst more variable conditions you can rent a stiffer carving board, or park board to make the most of your time on the mountain.

Sport Snowboard Package

The Sport Snowboard Package is ideal for the beginner snowboarder who may require a softer deck to learn more easily how to carve a perfect snowboard turn and gain confidence riding down moderately steep terrain. The boards provided in this package can take you anywhere on the mountain, including the park, but as you become more advanced you'll find the All-Mountain Snowboard Package to better support your ability.

Junior Snowboard Package

The snowboards are soft and forgiving underfoot, allowing kids to bend the board into turns and learn proper style from the beginning. The junior snowboards are suitable for all terrain types, providing stability at relatively quick speeds.

Boards Only

Already have your own boots? You can rent just snowboards by themselves, without having to purchase the whole package. At checkout, just uncheck "boots" and you'll see your rate discounted.

Duration

Full-day, multi-day, and full-season rentals are available, with the option to pick up your rentals after 12:00 PM the night before your first rental day.

Shop Hours: 10am - 5pm, daily

Rentals are due back by 10:00 am the day after your rental date has expired.

Pro Tip: Pick up the day before you hit the slopes (12 PM or later) so you can head straight to the lift the next morning.
