Guide to Renting Ski and Snowboard Equipment
2

• There are copious amounts of ski and snowboard
  equipment or gear on the market. In fact, there
  are so many choices that novice skiers and
  snowboarders may not know what to buy, how to
  buy, or where to buy. However, ski and snowboard
  equipment can be too expensive for the average
  buyer.

3

• So, the key to buying this equipment is not to
  buy it its to rent it. But most people dont
  know what equipment to rent or how to rent that
  equipment. Below is a brief guide on renting ski
  and snowboard gear.

Rent the Right Equipment

• There are certain things youll need to make
  your ski and snowboard trip a fun, eventful one.
  These things include a great location, like
  Whistler, ski and/or snowboard clothing, and ski
  and/or snowboard equipment. The gear youll need
  for skiing and snowboarding includes

5

• A ski jacket, snowsuit, and/or ski or
  snowboarding pants
• Specialty ski socks
• Long underwear and a turtleneck and fleece or
  sweater
• Ski and snowboard gloves
• A helmet liner or hat
• Snow Googles

6

• Snowboard or ski boots
• A helmet
• Skis
• A snowboard and bindings
• Ski Poles

7

• Even though this clothing and equipment seems
  simple, it can be expensive. Top-quality,
  protective clothing and equipment is especially
  more expensive than others. Fortunately, most
  novice skiers and/or snowboarders wont need
  high-end gear.

8

• But, no matter what type of gear you want, most
  ski resorts in Whistler and beyond offer
  affordable equipment rental prices and packages.
  These packages will include everything you need
  to have the perfect Whistler snowboarding and ski
  trip.

Rent at the Right Place

• Although you can buy ski and snowboard gear
  almost anywhere, there are truly only two places
  where you can rent it a local ski shop or a
  resort ski shop. If you rent your equipment from
  a local ski shop, you can order it before your
  trip.

10

• On the other hand, if you rent from a Whistler
  resort ski shop, a special equipment package and
  fee will be included with your vacation package
  and the gear can be stored onsite and be readily
  available and accessible. Equipment can also be
  rented online and delivered to your resort.

Search for the Most Affordable Rental Rates

• Whistler ski rental rates can vary, but theyre
  mostly affordable. Plus, the rates often depend
  on how long your renting the equipment, where
  youre renting it from, and the type of equipment
  youre renting.

12

• Rates typically range from 20 to more than 100
  per day with damage insurance included. While
  most resorts require damage insurance for
  equipment rental, it typically costs less than 5
  per day. But if you want the best rates, reserve
  your ski and snowboard gear a few weeks before
  your trip.
