If you're getting ready for ski season and wondering whether to buy or rent equipment for yourself or your kids, you're not alone. At The Pro Ski and Ride, we often hear the same question from parents and new skiers: "Is a seasonal rental really worth it?" Spoiler alert—it absolutely is!
Here’s why a seasonal ski or snowboard rental might be the smartest move you make this winter.
1. Kids Grow—A Lot
Let’s face it, children seem to outgrow everything overnight—including ski boots and snowboards. When you buy gear, it might only fit for one season (if that). With a seasonal rental, you get properly fitted equipment every year, without worrying about sizing up or selling old gear. It’s easy, affordable, and stress-free. If your child outgrows their equipment mid-season, stop by and we can swap it out for the next size up!
2. Cost-Effective for New Skiers
If you're new to skiing or snowboarding, it's hard to know what kind of gear you'll like or need long-term. A seasonal rental lets you hit the slopes with quality, professionally maintained equipment—without the upfront cost of buying. It’s a great way to test the waters (or the snow!) before making a big investment.
3. Convenience and Peace of Mind
Renting for the season means you skip the rental shop lines at the mountain every time you go. You’ll already have your gear ready to go—just grab it and hit the road. Plus, if anything needs adjusting mid-season (especially for growing kids), we’ve got you covered.
4. Better Fit, Better Experience
At The Pro Ski and Ride, we personally fit each customer to make sure boots are snug (but not painful) and skis or snowboards are just right for your size, skill level, and goals. A great fit means more confidence and more fun on the mountain.
