Ski Rental Equipment
Ski Equipment: Rent or Buy?
When you're a beginning skier or just trying out the sport to decide if it's the right one for you, it makes sense to rent ski equipment. Once you're sure that you're going to spend enough time on the slopes to justify buying ski equipment (which can be expensive) you can invest in your own ski gear.
Where to Rent
There are a couple of options for renting ski equipment. Many local ski shops rent equipment packages. One advantage to renting locally is that you can pick up your equipment ahead of time and avoid waiting in a line at the resort ski shop. On the other hand, if you rent equipment at the resort you may be able to store your equipment during the day or overnight free or for a nominal fee. You can also rent ski equipment online and have it delivered to your hotel or condo or our MHT meeting location.
Renting Ski Equipment
Most rental packages include skis, boots and poles. You should be able to choose from beginner or performance skis. Special packages are available for junior skiers. Helmets may be available for an additional charge, which can be as low as $3 to 10. That extra expense is well worth the safety you'll gain by wearing a helmet.
Here's a list of ski equipment available to rent:
•Skis
•Ski boots
•Ski poles
•Helmet
•Ski jacket and pants (at a shop or at some resorts)
Ski Rental Options
Skiers can rent a package or rent items individually. For example, almost all Korean ski resorts offer full-day or morning or afternoon only packages for juniors, beginner - intermediate, and intermediate - expert skiers. You can rent a full set of equipment, skis only or boots only. Helmets and poles are available separately.
Ski Rental Pricing
Rental equipment prices vary depending on the type of equipment you are renting, where you are renting from, and how long you are renting it for. Some packages -inclusive of ski jackets and pants and ski goggles- start as low as $20 per day. Some resorts automatically add on damage insurance, for 2 or 3 dollars per day.
Plan Ahead
Plan ahead and reserve your ski rental equipment in advance, especially during busy holiday weeks and school vacation weeks. That way you'll know for certain that the equipment you want is available and ready when you arrive to pick it up.
What You Will Need to Buy
You will need to invest in ski clothing. At the least, you'll need a warm ski jacket and snow pants, gloves, a layer of long underwear, warm socks and goggles. The following is a list of what you will need to wear:
•Gloves
•Ski Goggles
•Hat or helmet liner
•Long underwear
•Ski socks : Please prepare 2 kinds: thick and thin
•Ski pants and jacket
•Turtleneck and sweater or fleece
When you're starting out, you won't need to buy high-end clothing, but, do make sure that it's warm and waterproof.
