How early can we pick up our rental equipment? [Back to Top]

All rentals may be picked up after 3pm the day before the rental is to begin.  If the renter wants to night ski the night they pick up that will be a seperate charge from the next days ski rentals.  Night skiing rates are half price of the regular day rates.  All rentals are expected to be returned by 6pm the night of the last day rented.  Late returns may face a fee especially during peak season due to the high volume of turnaround on rental equipment. 


Optional Damage Insurance on rental gear? [Back to Top]

The optional damage waiver covers only repairable breakage or damage of equipment included in this order. It does not cover loss or theft or personal injury.  The damage waiver also does not cover total destruction of the equipment (so don't ski down the road or hit large jumps without the ability to do so).  The damage waiver will cost $3 per person per day.
