Common Nordic Ski Lease Questions

When can I pick up my rentals for the start of the season?

Answer: Season rentals may be picked up beginning August 1st.

When are my seasonal rentals due back?

Answer: We ask for you to return your seasonal rentals by May 1st.

Are walk-ins welcome? Or do I need to schedule my rental fitting?

Answer: Yes, walk-ins are welcome. Rental reservations are appreciated but not required. We'll do our best to outfit your family as quickly as possible. You'll want to check in at the front register first to fill out your paperwork for each renter.

If we need a different size boot or ski can we exchange?

Answer: If you or your child outgrows their equipment mid-season we offer free exchanges to the next size.

*Please make sure to bring BOTH your skis and boots so we can properly adjust your equipment to the bigger size.

What brand skis do you rent?

We rent nordic ski gear from Salomon, Rossignol, and Atomic.

What's the smallest size skis and boots available for rentals?

Answer: We try to carry nordic skis that are small enough for most elementary age skiers.

*Please keep in mind, the smallest sizes do tend to sell out fast!

What's the average turn-around time for a seasonal rental fitting?

In general we try to outfit your family while-you-wait. Depending on the renter most guests are in and out of the store within 30 minutes (or less). Families and Large groups will take longer so if you want to save time we suggest making a reservation so we can speed up the process.

When is payment due?

Answer: You can pay in-store at time of pick up.
