Top Tips for Renting Skis in South Lake Tahoe 

  1. Compare Rental Shop Locations: TripOutside features the best South Lake Tahoe ski shops, no matter which resort you are visiting.  These resorts are many miles apart, so it’s important to familiarize yourself with the rental shop locations and choose the most convenient option based on your lodging, planned activities and trail preferences.  Use the map on TripOutside to easily compare locations of rental shops.
  2. Book in Advance: For the best gear availability and prices in South Lake Tahoe, consider booking your ski rentals online in advance of your trip. This ensures availability and can save you a ton of time on arrival.
  3. Know Your Skill Level: Communicate your skill level and preferences at the time of booking. The shop will use this information to recommend the right type and size of ski, bindings, poles and boots to match your abilities and riding style.
  4. Arrive Early or Choose Early Pickup: Arriving early in the morning when rental shops open can help you avoid long lines and get on the slopes faster. This is especially important during peak seasons.  Even better: most Tahoe shops allow you to pick up your gear the night before as early as 3pm.  Choose this option to make the most of your ski days!  
  5. Choose Delivery:  To make things even easier and more seamless, choose delivery for your South Lake Tahoe ski rentals.  This will allow you to sit back, relax and have your gear delivered directly to your accommodation.
