How it works

Gear first, then the mountain

Renting at the resort means queueing when you could already be on the lift. Maison de Ski is a 5-minute stop off I-70, so the only line you stand in is the one to get your boots on.

  1. Reserve online at least 24 hours ahead. Give us your dates plus the height, weight, shoe size, age and ability of everyone renting. That is what we use to pull the right gear.
  2. Pick up after 2 PM the day before. Early pickup is free. We fit boots, adjust bindings and check the edges at the counter while you watch.
  3. Return by 7 PM on your last day. Same shop, same counter. If a storm or a closure slows you down on I-70, call 303-567-2044 and we will work out a late return.

The Ski Doctor

Tuned before every rental. Repaired while you wait.

Every rental ski and board is inspected and tuned before it leaves the shop. If your own gear needs work, Tobin runs the bench seven days a week with no appointment needed.

Reviews

People stop here every season

“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.”

“We landed in Denver and realized we hadn't arranged ski rentals for a trip to Winter Park. We called up Maison last minute from the airport, they stayed open a little late to accommodate us which was a lifesaver.”

“The service here is speedy and reliable. Maison de Ski has become my go-to shop for skis and snowboards.”

The red Maison de Ski shop building under a deep blue sky in Idaho Springs

Since 1970

Family owned, same town, same bench

Maison de Ski has been renting gear in Idaho Springs since 1970, which makes it Colorado's oldest family-owned ski and snowboard rental shop. That is a long time to learn what a family actually needs on a ski morning.

Jett runs the front counter, Tobin runs the tuning bench as the Ski Doctor, Luna answers the phone and Zack keeps the website moving. Doggo supervises. The shop has taken Idaho Springs “Best Of” honors in 2019 and 2020, and the same people are behind the counter season after season.

When the snow melts, our sister company KODI Rafting runs whitewater trips on Clear Creek right here in Idaho Springs from May through September, with more Colorado locations beyond. If your group comes back for summer, they are the people to call.

Good to know

Before you drive up

The five questions we answer most often at the counter.

Do I need to reserve ski rentals in advance?

Reserving online is recommended at least 24 hours before you want to pick up gear. Walk-ins are welcome at Maison de Ski, but a reservation means your package, boot sizes and bindings are ready when you arrive, which matters most on busy weekend mornings.

When can I pick up my rentals?

Early pickup is free after 2:00 PM the day before your rental starts. If you are skiing that same evening, pick up on your way up instead. The shop is open 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM every day.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancel 48 hours or more before your rental start and you get a full refund. Cancellations inside 48 hours carry a $10 fee per person on the reservation.

Do kids' rentals include a helmet?

Yes. Kids ski and kids snowboard packages include a helmet. Kids ski rentals are for ages 12 and under and use lighter Elan skis with U-Flex and softer boots.

Where exactly is the shop?

Maison de Ski is at 2804 Colorado Blvd in Idaho Springs, right off I-70 Exit 241 — about 30 to 45 minutes west of Denver and on the way to every major I-70 resort.

Your gear is ready when you are

Reserve skis, snowboards or snowshoes for your dates, then swing by Exit 241 on the way up. Early pickup after 2 PM, returns until 7 PM.
