The Demo Ski Package consists of a selection of top-quality skis and 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 skis and snowboards that will respond to more demanding terrain. If you're an advanced skier that doesn't want to be restrained by equipment, or wants a specialized ski for the conditions, you'll find the demo package most appropriate.

The Demo Ski Package provides top-of-the-line ski rental equipment for any skier type. Skiers from low-intermediate to expert level will find a model to suit their needs. From groomers, powder, steeps and moguls, our experienced rental techs will guide you to the best ski to suit your style. Our Demo packages are consistent with the models you will find on the retail floor. Look good, feel good and ski great with this package choice.

Premium Ski Package

The Premium Ski Package steps up performance in a way that will inspire confidence to bring beginner-level skiers quickly to intermediate level and beyond. Skiers seeking groomed greens and blues, even occasional visits to some blacks will enjoy the predictable maneuverability, characteristic to all of our Premium ski choices. The Premium Ski Package provides high quality ski rental equipment from recent model years. Ability levels include intermediate to advanced skiers, or if you are a beginner skier who is looking to advance your skills quickly.

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 Ski & Snowboard Packages

The Sport Ski Package is ideal for beginner to intermediate skiers, who prefer slower speeds yet are looking to advance their skills. The skis are flexible and forgiving, allowing for less-powerful skiers to make nicely carved turns. If you want to venture beyond the groomed green and blue runs, the sport skis will provide sufficient stability to ski over variable terrain.

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 Premium Ski Package

The Junior Premium Ski Package is suitable for the intermediate to advanced junior skier who has good confidence, stability, and skills. The junior premium skis are suitable for all terrain types, providing stability at relatively quick speeds.

Junior Ski & Snowboard Package

These skis are proportionately designed to fit kids and are soft and forgiving to allow for easy turning. Even if your child is quite advanced, the skis are suitable for all terrain types, providing stability at relatively quick speeds.

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.

Skis & Boards Only

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