Purchase your rentals with our Lesson Package, which includes your lift pass, rentals and lesson of your choice, for savings of up to 40%.
Season Rentals
Collect your skis or snowboard and boots once, then keep them for the season so you are ready to go each time you arrive, with no repeat fitting or queues.
Season Pass Discount
As a perk all our 2026 Season Pass Holders enjoy 10% off standard rentals, making each visit a bit easier.
We have two rental outlets up here.
BASE AREA & HAPPY VALLEY
Head to the Base Area and go upstairs above Lorenz’s Bar & Café, or take the elevator down to Happy Valley to find the other location.
You can collect your gear from either location. Book online ahead to save time (which we highly recommend) or head straight to any open rental shop on the day.
