Planning a ski trip to Hunter Mountain? Making the right rental choice can make or break your day on the slopes—especially for beginners and families.
At The Pro Ski and Ride, we specialize in fast, affordable, and family-friendly daily ski and snowboard rentals just three minutes from Hunter Mountain. With the newest rental fleet on the mountaintop, professionally maintained equipment, and tailored packages for all ability levels, we make it easy to skip the long resort lines and get on snow faster.
⛷️ Why Rent from a Local Ski Shop Near Hunter Mountain?
Choosing the right rental shop can dramatically improve your day on the mountain. Here's why so many families and first-time skiers rent from us instead of renting at the resort:
1. Shorter Wait Times (Especially on Weekends & Holidays)
Hunter Mountain’s rental shop often sees long lines—especially between 8:30–10:30 am.
At The Pro Ski and Ride, we generally get families in and out much faster, even on busy days.
And with our online reservation system, guests can complete paperwork and payment ahead of time, saving even more time when they arrive.
