Pre-Season Fittings
If you plan on renting ski or snowboard gear this winter, please stop by the Outdoor Recreation Rental Center early to get your gear fitting. We’ll record your sizes and settings, give you a fitting card for each member of the family and take care of all the waivers at one time. Advance fittings mean faster checkout times when you do come to get gear! If you aren’t able to get fitted before the season starts, visit us in the Weasel’s Den and we’ll make sure you’re covered before your first trip.
Rental Equipment
Rent winter equipment starting Thursday, Dec. 13. We have a full range of ski and snowboard equipment to fit everyone. We also offer Nordic ski equipment and snowshoes for fitness training and backcountry adventures! This date is tentative and we’re ready to open the doors earlier if there’s enough snow on the slopes. Note: powder boards and skis will not be available until January (date to be determined).
Winter Equipment Servicing
Starts on Thursday, Nov. 1. Outdoor Recreation will begin accepting ski and snowboard equipment for waxing, edge-sharpening and base repairs. We offer “while you wait” hot waxing and generally fast turnaround on most other work! Get your gear ready for the season now! Please note that we do not mount or service personal ski or snowboard bindings.
FREE Gear
If you sign up for one of Outdoor Recreation’s ski and snowboard trips we’ll provide FREE equipment (limited to one ski or snowboard set per person).
