Ski Equipment: Rent or Buy???

admin — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 21:25:40 +0000

Here’s a list of ski equipment available to rent:

* Skis
* Ski boots
* Ski poles
* Helmet
* Ski jacket and pants (at some resorts)

Ski Rental Options
Skiers can rent a package or rent items individually. For example, Deer Valley Resort offers full-day and 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 start as low as $20 per day, others can cost $50 or more. Some resorts automatically add on damage insurance, for a few 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
* Goggles
* Hat or helmet liner
* Long underwear
* Ski socks
* 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.

Ski Rental Equipment!!

admin — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 21:31:13 +0000

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.

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 $10. That extra expense is well worth the safety you’ll gain by wearing a helmet.

Keep in mind that when you sign up for a ski lesson program, the package should include equipment that you can use all day. So, you won’t need to rent it separately. You’ll be outfitted with everything you need prior to your lesson.

Road Rash

admin — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 14:11:42 +0000

Whoever thought just taking your dog for a walk was an easy, safe job has never taken mine out. Just yesterday, I was riding my bike with a friend and I had my dog on the leash. She is not a small girl, but she’s also only about seventy pounds. We have taken multiple bike rides together and when we’re on the pavement I like to have her on the leash, just in case. Well, we had rode only about a mile from my house and were just about to reach the entrance to our trail when the squirrels got the best of me. I was taking a leisurely left turn when Zoie, my Husky, made eye contact with the squirrels in the distance. Unaware of her quick reaction, my bike tire began to wobble, my right hand wrapped in her leash, all I could do was grab my front brake with my left and my body met the last bit of asphalt before the trail. In that last moment when I finally had accepted what was about to happen, I tucked, braced for the impact, and the entire left side of my body got bitten by the unforgiving pavement. After I regained my composure, I brushed myself off and immediately I was reminded of the snow rash I received at Heavenly Ski Resort this year. I had just gotten some brand new ski rentals in the Spring. I was carving down the side of the mountain and it was a beautiful day. It was super warm out, so I was just wearing a t-shirt like a dummy. All of the sudden, I caught an edge at high speed and I went body surfing down the hill. Never mind my great ski rentals that went flying down the mountainside, my body suffered some serious snow rash. So when skiing and biking, wear the appropriate attire so this won’t happen to you.

Summer’s Screeching Hault

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 14:48:21 +0000

Labor Day for most high country locals signifies the end of summer and the end of a constant cash flow. It seems like each year the summers speed up and the money slows down, so it is very important for us to take advantage of every moment we have to cash in. This summer began fairly slowly and before you could blink it was September. The one thing I do love is the fact that the winter season is just around the corner and soon the mountains, like Heavenly Ski Resort, will be opening for business. Our lives seem to revolve around this shuffling of seasons and how we balance it allows us to keep living in this pristine wilderness. As soon as the first snows fall, I will be getting my brand new ski rentals tuned and waxed to carve on the mountains. I know that I’m not the only one who feels this way. For a lot of us, being able to look forward all week to releasing some energy and go skiing helps refocus and center us for whatever responsibilities we have to face. There really is no feeling I would rather have than leaning back and making fresh powder turns on my snowboard rentals. So as the summer comes to a quick close, we have so much to look forward to, all we have to do is wait for the snow to arrive.

Its A Dogs World…We Just Live in It

In South Lake Tahoe, these days, it seems like everyone has a dog. Big, small, short, and tall, our curious canines come in all shapes and sizes. This is one of the many aspects that makes Tahoe such a special place to live. Just yesterday, I took my dogs to “Secret Beach” on the South Shore. We played in the water and laid on the beach until the staple pastel Tahoe sunset ushered us home. Where else can you walk out your door, walk your dogs through a pristine marsh, into an amazing pine forest, and wind up at an immaculate beach? Every time, Tahoe is the first place that comes to mind. I can’t wait until the snow begins to fall and my dogs get to prance through untouched powder fields. That could be one of the happiest moments in my dogs’ lives. I think this year I will get some brand new ski rentals, hook my Huskie up to a climbing harness, and fly across the snow. Sometimes I wish we could fly down the beautiful ski runs at Heavenly Ski Resort and turn heads. She is amazing in the back country too. Whenever I get a chance we head to the West End of South Lake, to Christmas Valley, for some easily accessible “Off Piste,” skiing. After a hefty hike to the top of “Water-House,” a local spot, she leads the way back to the car. Once tucked away in the back of my truck, she immediately crashes, and I have to wake her up just to get into the house. Its funny how our dogs really brighten our days and help us get out and enjoy life. Thanks little buddies.

Local Resort goes Recruiting

admin — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:43:19 +0000

A good friend of mine that works for Tahoe’s largest resort, has gone on an extended trip to South America to recruit employees for next ski season. She will travel to Santiago, Chile, to Buenos Aires, Argentina and Sao Paulo, Brazil. Now this is confusing to me because 99% of the people recruited have now little to no skiing ability and zero on-snow experience. I don’t understand my major U.S. resorts, particularly in California, recruit non-english speaking, inexperienced workers to operate the majority of mountain facilities and services.
On a different note, the recruitment team was also traveling with several hundred sets of ski rentals that would be sold to area ski shops in Chile, Argentina and Brazil. Whats interesting is that they will sell those rentals for more than they paid plus they have 3+ years of usage. Its amazing that new equipment and technology don’t reach the southern hemisphere for years after they are initially developed. It seems quite profitable to start a company that delivers old Ski Rentals from the U.S. to less developed countries.

Snowmobiling outside of Vail

admin — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 20:16:58 +0000

What better way to take a break from the slopes then to go snowmobiling! After indulging in the powder we have been blessed with here at Vail the past two weeks, my knees and back were aching for a break. With some out of town guests to entertain we headed out of Vail on Highway 26 towards Leadville. We ended up at Alpine Tours – a local snowmobiling and dog sledding outfit. With both novice and long-time snowmobilers in our group I was nervous they would not be able to accommodate our various needs. To my pleasant surprise, however, the guides were fantastic and catered to our group with great enthusiasm. The views along our ride were breath taking and we were able to explore so much terrain on the sleds. Alpine Tours was very reasonably priced and the service was excellent. They are also known for the exceptional care they give to their sled dogs. We could not have been happier with our day off from skiing!
