Open daily 7 AM – 7 PM · I-70 Exit 241, Idaho Springs
Since 1970
A family-owned rental shop and tuning bench at I-70 Exit 241, renting gear to Idaho Springs and everyone driving past it since 1970.
The shop
Maison de Ski opened in 1970 and has been renting gear in the same town ever since, which makes it the oldest family-owned ski and snowboard rental shop in Colorado.
That history is not a plaque on the wall — it is why the shop works the way it does. Boots get fitted by hand. Bindings get set to the actual skier. Gear gets tuned before it goes out, not after a customer complains. And when someone is stuck on I-70 at 7:15 PM, the phone still gets answered.
The building is red with a hand-painted sign, a short walk from downtown Idaho Springs. Inside there is a rental counter, a wall of boots, outerwear on the racks and a tuning bench in the back where the Ski Doctor works.
The crew
Small shop, familiar faces. These are the names you will hear when you call or walk in.
Account manager — group bookings, reservations and the front counter.
The Ski Doctor. Full tunes, quick tunes, mounts and repairs at the bench.
Customer support — the voice on the phone when you need dates changed.
Head of marketing, and the person behind the website and the guides.
Customer support, shop dog division. Popular with kids and reviewers alike.
The bench
A rental ski that has not been tuned is a bad first run. We inspect edges and bases on every ski and board, then set bindings to the skier who is actually taking it out.
If your own gear needs work, the same bench handles it: full tunes, quick tunes, wax, binding mounts and repairs, open seven days a week with no appointment needed.
Recognition
“Maison de Ski is hands-down the best place in Colorado to get your ski and snowboard gear rentals. I'm Colorado born-and-raised and have been coming here for decades, since I was a little kid. My dad and I always take visitors here to rent skis before heading up to Loveland. The gear is always in good condition. Customer service is fantastic and fast.”
