Season Ski & Snowboard Rentals 2026-27: Cost, Benefits, and How They Work
Last Updated: September 2026
A season ski or snowboard rental is one reservation that covers your gear for the whole winter. You choose a package, get fitted once at a Christy Sports or Sturtevant's store, and keep it until the season ends in spring. Adult Season Rental packages currently start at $179 in Utah, $239 in Colorado, and $329 in Washington, with pricing varying by package, store, and region. Junior packages start at $99 for the Beginner package built for ages 6 and under. Season Rentals fit skiers and riders planning several days rather than one trip: families with growing kids, weekend drivers heading up from the Front Range, and anyone still deciding whether to buy.
2026-27 Season Rental Quick Facts
- Adult and junior packages are available for both skiing and snowboarding.
- Adult starting prices vary by region: from $179 in Utah, $239 in Colorado, $329 in Washington.
- Junior packages cover ages 12 and under, with a Beginner package for ages 6 and under from $99.
- Season Rentals include complimentary tuning throughout the season.
- Sizes can be exchanged during the season at no charge, subject to available equipment.
- Every renter is fitted in person at pickup, and you can switch between skis and a snowboard one time at no charge.
How Much Do Season Ski & Snowboard Rentals Cost?
Adult Season Rental packages start at $179 in Utah, $239 in Colorado, and $329 in Washington. Junior packages start at $99 for the Beginner package designed for ages 6 and under. Starting prices vary by region, store, and package, so check current pricing for your store before you book.
Within each region, price depends on the tier you choose.
Sport packages are the entry tier, for beginner to intermediate skiers and riders still building skills. The regional starting prices above refer to this tier.
Premium packages are for intermediate to advanced skiers who want stability and control across varied terrain. The comparable snowboard tier is All Mountain.
Demo packages are the top tier, high-performance equipment for intermediate to expert skiers and riders who want agility in all conditions.
Junior packages follow the same logic, with Premium, Sport, Basic, and Beginner tiers.
What's Included in a Season Rental?
Inclusions depend on the package, and this is the detail most people get wrong.
Full ski packages include skis, boots, and poles. That covers the Adult Sport, Premium, and Demo ski packages and the junior ski packages.
Ski-only packages include skis and poles, no boots. Christy Sports offers Premium Ski Only and Demo Ski Only for adults and a Premium Ski Only for juniors. These are the right choice if you already own boots that fit.
Full snowboard packages include board, bindings, and boots. Board-only packages include board and bindings.
Helmets are not included in any Season Rental package. Christy Sports carries ski and snowboard helmets for purchase in-store and online.

When Is a Season Rental Worth It?
A Season Rental becomes the lower-cost option once you ski or ride enough days that repeated daily rentals would cost more. For adult Sport packages, that point falls between four and six days, depending on your market. Junior packages depend on age and tier. The $99 Beginner package for ages 6 and under reaches that point in about three days. Higher junior tiers cost more up front and take a few more days.
Price is only part of it. A Season Rental also means fitted equipment waiting at home instead of a counter visit before every trip, tuning support through the winter, and size flexibility if the fit changes. For families, those often matter as much as the arithmetic.
Why Season Rentals Work Well for Kids
Kids grow during winter, which is what makes buying equipment awkward and season renting practical.
Junior Season Rentals cover ages 12 and under. Within that range, tiers exist for different needs: the Beginner package is built for ages 6 and under, and Basic, Sport, and Premium packages are available for older or more experienced kids.
If your child grows during the season or the fit changes, sizes can be exchanged at no additional cost, subject to available equipment. That is the practical difference between renting and buying. A pair of boots bought in October may fit for only part of one winter, and a Season Rental does not leave you paying for a second pair in February.
Every renter is fitted in person at pickup, so equipment is matched to size and ability by a technician rather than a size chart. For a family, that means one fitting appointment in the fall instead of a counter visit before every trip.
If you are planning your first family ski days, our family ski trip survival guide covers lessons, layering, and timing.
Are Season Rentals Good for Beginners?
Yes. A Season Rental lets a new skier or rider spend a winter learning what equipment and terrain they prefer before deciding whether to buy.
The Sport package is the tier positioned for beginner to intermediate skiers and riders. Season Rental customers can also switch between skis and a snowboard one time at no charge, so choosing a sport in October does not lock in the whole winter.

Season Rentals vs. Daily Rentals: Which Is Right for You?
The deciding factor is how many days you plan to be out.
A Season Rental usually makes more sense if you:
- Plan on skiing or riding repeatedly this winter
- Live within practical driving distance of a resort
- Want equipment fitted and waiting at home
- Are outfitting kids who are growing
Daily rentals usually make more sense if you:
- Are taking one trip
- Get out only a few days a season
- Are traveling and would rather not transport equipment
- Want trip-by-trip flexibility on what you ride
Whichever you choose, look for a program that fits equipment to ability rather than size alone. For a fuller comparison that also covers ownership, read our guide to daily rentals, season rentals, and buying ski gear.
How Season Rentals Work
- Reserve. Choose your location, pickup date, equipment, and renter information.
- Pick up and get fitted. Every renter needs to be present so equipment can be fitted properly and the rental agreement signed. Renters under 18 need a parent or guardian present.
- Ski or ride all season. Keep the equipment at home and use your Season Rental benefits through the winter.
- Return the equipment. Bring it back by the due date assigned to your reservation.
When Do You Pick Up and Return Season Rentals?
Season Rentals are picked up near the start of winter and returned at the end of the ski season. Pickup runs September through November for most locations, and returns are generally due around April 20, with exact dates varying by region.
Because a Season Rental covers the whole winter, it is reserved and picked up before the season rather than partway through. If you need equipment mid-winter, daily rentals are the better path. If you need more time in the spring, contact the store you rented from.
Reservations can be changed, and cancellations are available under the current rental policy. See the rental information page for exact terms.
Where Can You Get Season Ski & Snowboard Rentals?
Season Rentals are offered at participating Christy Sports and Sturtevant's stores across Colorado, Utah, and Washington. Not every location carries them, so use the store finder to see participating stores near you.
Front Range: Boulder, Denver, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs
Participating stores run the length of the corridor: Fort Collins and Boulder to the north, Cherry Creek in Denver, Denver West in Lakewood, Arvada, Littleton, and Park Meadows in Centennial across the metro, and Colorado Springs to the south. Picking up near home is worth it even if you ski in the mountains, because the fitting happens on your schedule rather than at a resort base on a Saturday morning.
Colorado mountain towns
Season Rentals are also available at mountain stores including Dillon in Summit County, Avon in the Vail Valley, Steamboat Springs, Winter Park, Crested Butte, and Telluride.
Utah: Salt Lake City and Park City
In Utah, Season Rentals are available at the Olympus Hills store in Salt Lake City and at Kimball Junction in Park City.
Washington: Bellevue and Tacoma
In the Seattle area, Season Rentals are offered through Sturtevant's Ski Mart in Bellevue and Tacoma. Sturtevant's is part of the Christy Sports family of brands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are season ski rentals worth it?
It depends on how many days you get out.

It depends on the package. Full ski packages include skis, boots, and poles. Ski-only packages include skis and poles. Full snowboard packages include board, bindings, and boots; board-only packages include board and bindings.

Are boots included in a season ski rental?
Boots are included in most packages. The Adult Sport, Premium, and Demo ski packages include boots. Premium Ski Only and Demo Ski Only do not, and they are priced lower because of it. If you already own boots that fit, skis-only package is usually the better value.

Can kids exchange sizes during the season?
Yes. Sizes can be exchanged in skis or boots during the season at no additional cost, subject to availability. This is why Season Rentals work well for growing kids: a boot that fits in November may not fit in February, and the exchange handles it without a second purchase.
Can I switch between skiing and snowboarding?
Yes, one time during the season at no charge. If you start the winter on skis and decide you would rather ride, or the other way around, you can make the switch once without an additional rental fee. It is a practical option for anyone still deciding which sport suits them.

Get Ready for the Season
One reservation, one fitting, and your gear is handled until spring. If you get out more than a few days a winter, or you are outfitting kids who keep growing, a Season Rental takes the hardest part of the ski day out of it.
