Demo equipment will be available from hill opening until 3 pm, giving you ample time to find your perfect fit. Please remember that all equipment must be returned by 3 pm. To ensure that everyone gets a chance to experience the latest ski innovations we encourage testing another style after a lap or two. Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to test new 26/27 adult-sized skis and snowboards and support our local ski community at the same time.

Preseason Alpine Ski & Snowboard Package Prices

All through September we get down and dirty with our ski gear. Don’t judge us, we’re doing it for you! The lowest price of the year is yours on new 2019-20 ski and snowboard equipment when you buy a complete package. How little will you pay? Scroll and peek, then hurry in.
