About Our Winter Gear Rentals

Are there different levels of equipment?

There are! We offer different ski equipment packages based on your ability. For snowboards, we have an excellent all-mountain snowboard that is perfect for any snow condition, but equipment does not differ between skill levels.

Can I buy a discount lift ticket at your location?

We do not sell any lift tickets at our rental shop. If you’d like to purchase tickets to Breckenridge or Keystone you’ll find the cheapest options at Snow.com, or if you are going to a different location you may find deals at Liftopia.com.

Can I buy my rental set up if I love it?

Wouldn’t hurt to ask! Let us know if you’re digging the gear and we can talk about options.

Can I rent just ski boots?

If a customer wants to rent just ski boots, it’s a $30 charge for the boots and for our tech to adjust and test the bindings on the guest’s skis.

Can I rent just snowboard boots?

Yes, but you’ll have to walk-in to our shop to rent just snowboard boots. This cannot be completed over the phone or online.

Do you offer discounts for multi-day rentals?

We currently are offering our best day pricing for ski and snowboard rentals, therefore booking one day versus multiple days will not adjust that daily rate. Breckenridge Ski & Sport strives to get you the best equipment at the best price!

Do you rent backcountry equipment?

We currently do not offer any backcountry equipment rentals.

Do you rent goggles or clothing?

We will offer items such as hats, gloves, socks, buffs, and goggles for purchase at our store. As for snow gear, we do not have any ski jackets or snow pants available for rent or purchase at our shop, but our partner Winter Wear Rentals can set you up with coats, pants, and bibs for your time on the mountain!

Do you rent helmets?

Discounted helmet rentals are an option when reserving a ski or snowboard package. Helmet-only rentals, or helmets added on after a reservation is placed, are available on a first come first served basis, and are not eligible for any discounts.

What brands do you carry?

Our bindings are Tyrolia and all other equipment is Head.

What comes in a full package rental?

For a ski package you can expect a pair of skis, bindings, boots, and poles.
Snowboard packages come with a snowboard, boots, and bindings.

What discounts do you offer?

You can see our latest discounts HERE!

What if I damage the equipment?

Our rentals have the option of damage insurance that covers any repairable damage to skis or boots. It does not cover loss or theft. If you choose not to carry this coverage you will opt out at the time of rental and you will be held responsible for any damage to the equipment. As a renter, you will be required to sign a liability waiver and you have the choice of opting into the damage insurance upon checkout at the shop the first day of your rental.

What if I want to take a day off from skiing midweek?

Your rental package will operate similarly to a car rental, and you will be charged for any days it is in your possession. If you wish to return your rental package early, it will be subject to our cancellation policy which requires 24 hours notice of cancellation. If you turn in your gear early within the 24 hour period of the next day of your rental, you will not be refunded. Rentals must be in before 9:00 AM to avoid charges for the next day of rental.

Renting Equipment

Can I pick up my kids rental for them?

A huge part of ensuring everyone’s safety on the mountain is getting an accurate boot fitting and ski/board size for the rider(s), this is why we require all riders to be present when picking up gear. This can help avoid injuries and keep everyone comfortable for a day on the mountain.

Can I return my gear early?

Yes! If you’re calling your vacation a day early due to weather or something similar, you can return your gear early. However, you will only be refunded for the days 24+ hours out. Similarly if you need to extend your rental we are happy to accommodate, please notify us as early as possible. Rentals must be in before 9:00 AM to avoid charges for the next day of rental.

Can my spouse or friend pick up my rental for me?

Like most outdoor activities skiing and snowboarding come with inherent risks, some of which are associated with binding releases. Because of these risks anyone over the age of 18 needs to be present to sign a liability waiver prior to equipment being released. Equipment will only be released to the party it was fitted for.

Do I need to be present to rent equipment for my child?

Minors under the age of 18 will need a guardian over 18 years old with them to sign a liability waiver on their behalf. If your child will be traveling without you, you may fill out their waiver ahead of time. Please reach out to Breckenridge Ski & Sport if this is the case.

When can I pick up my rental?

Your rental can be picked up as early as the day before your first day on the mountain at 3:00 PM. Any rentals picked up prior to 3:00 PM will be charged for the date they are being picked up.

Rentals can be returned as late as the day following your last day on the mountain at 9:00 AM. Any rental returned after 9:00 AM will be charged for the date of drop off.

What if I don’t like the equipment I rent?

We are happy to exchange your gear for different sizes at our Breckenridge location at any time during your rental contract. If you’d like to upgrade to a higher performance package we’ll be happy to help as well.

Mountain Bikes

Are the mountain bikes hardtail or full suspension, and what's the difference between the two?

Breckenridge Ski & Sport currently offers hardtail mountain bikes and full suspension bikes for rent.

The difference between the two is a full suspension bike has both front and rear shocks, where as a hardtail does not have a rear shock. There are pros and cons to both. Pros of the hardtail are that it’s usually lighter weight than a full suspension, making pedaling and climbing hills fast and efficient. These are also great for endurance terrain due to the support provided by the hardtail.

Full suspensions are optimal for easing through rough, bumpy and/or tricky terrain. The extra rear suspension allows the rider to “float” more easily over obstacles without absorbing the shock in your back. You’ll want to choose a full suspension bike for more advanced trails and terrain, including downhill tracks and courses around Breckenridge.

Do the bikes have flat pedals or clip-ins?

The bikes Breckenridge Ski & Sport have for rent are equipped with flat pedals. Be sure to wear mountain biking shoes or shoes with a sturdy base to them for optimal performance on the trails.

What size of tires are on the mountain bikes?

All hardtail mountain bikes have 27.5 tires but you can check in with our shop pros about the latest tires we’re running this season.

What other gear should we wear aside from a helmet?

That answer really depends on how comfortable you are on a mountain bike.

If it’s your first time out, elbow pads and knee pads wouldn’t hurt to wear. Those would have to be purchased prior to your day of rental. If you aren’t keen on the idea of buying brand new gear for a day on the trails, the best thing you can do is wear long sleeves and longer pants that cover your elbows and knees in case of a wipe out.

Gloves are another item that come in handy when biking. They prevent your palms for slipping off your hand grips and will protect your hands if you fall.

Tall socks are a must as well to protect your ankles from any brush you may cruise through along the way.

Electric Bikes

How fast can the E-Bikes go?

The E-Bikes available at Breckenridge Ski & Sport have pedal assistance of up to 20 mph.

Do the E-Bikes have a throttle?

Breckenridge Ski & Sports E-Bikes are considered Class 1, so there is not a throttle on these models of e-bike.

How are the E-Bikes powered?

The IZIP E-Bikes are powered by a 500wh battery.

Is there an age minimum for those wanting to rent an E-Bike?

12 & up is our minimum as the bikes are fit for adult sizes

Planning Your Trip

What should I bring along on a bike rental?

Be sure to come prepared for your day of biking in Breckenridge. Pack a backpack with plenty of water, sunscreen, sunglasses, and snacks. A rain jacket is always suggested for afternoon showers as well – especially as we get into the dog days of summer. Don’t forget your wallet in case you want to swing by one of the many restaurants for lunch!

Where in Breckenridge should we bike to?

There are miles upon miles of paved and dirt trails to venture out on with your bike rental. Breckenridge Recreation has a fantastic trail maps that can be utilized for you adventures. You can also download the app MTB Project and pick out your trail plan prior to your day.

What should I wear?

In true Colorado fashion, there is a crisp chill in the air until mid-morning. By noon you may be baking in the warm sunshine and then experience a rain shower or two a few hours later. Be prepared for any sort of weather situation and bring layers in your backpack so you aren’t stuck in uncomfortable attire on your outing.
