Vail Ski Rentals

Your ski rental includes skis, boots, and poles. You also get free overnight storage for you skis and poles. Helmets are not included but can be added for an additional cost. Don’t have ski clothing? American Ski Exchange is one of the only stores in Vail to offer adult ski clothing rental.

• American Ski Exchange prides itself on having the best prices in Vail Village for ski rentals. Ski rental prices vary based on what type of ski you want to rent. Generally most stores offer at least two types of rental packages; sport and demo. Sport skis generally are cheaper and meant for absolute beginners who are learning the fundamentals of skiing and sticking to low angle, groomed terrain. They come in a one design fits most people. Demo skis are the newest skis from the top ski companies. They provide a more custom for fit for each skier and come in a wider variety of lengths, shapes (wide for powder, narrow for turning), different stiffness, and are gender specific. Anyone from a beginner to an advanced skier can use demo skis.
• Demo Ski can cost as much as $129 and while sport skis cost $80+ from Corporate stores. At American Ski Exchange the same equipment costs much less. Demo skis can be as cheap as $48/day while sport skis are $38 and up
•  We like to tell our customers that they could rent skis from American Ski Exchange, buy the staff a pizza and still save more money than renting skis from the other stores.

Our ski and snowboard packages are the same price. Want to ski one day and snowboard the next? No problem! Just let us know and we will switch out your gear at no additional cost.

Buy your tickets at least two weeks in advance! If you wait to buy your tickets til you arrive, they will cost 20% more. Ticket prices vary depending on the time of year. The best way to purchase tickets it to go to Vail's website and buy an Epic (Day) Pass. Vail offers daily passes, multi day passes, and season passes.

If you want to get a season pass, make sure to do so before Thanksgiving (Vail stops selling them). Want to ski 5 of 7 days? No problem. There is a ticket package for that.

Skiing not your thing? Vail has many activities and events for the non skier. One great option is to check out Adventure Ridge at the top of Vail Mountain. They have a massive tubing hill, snowmobiling, ski biking, dining and more. Another fun day trip is to go for a snow mobile tour of the Continental Divide or lead a team of dogs on a personal dogsled tour.

There are several ice skating rinks around the village and great snow shoeing around the valley. We have tons of world class dining options, music venues, and bars. You can always treat yourself and go to one of our many world class spas!
