The fleet
What is on the demo rack
Sizes listed are the skis we stock. Demo skis are rented by the day from $55, and you can swap during your rental as the snow changes — which means a specific model may be out when you arrive.

Why demo
A demo day costs less than a bad purchase
A new pair of skis is a several-hundred-dollar decision. A demo rental lets you ski a shape in the conditions you actually ride — Colorado hardpack one week, a foot of powder the next — and swap to something else if it is not the one.
Bring your own boots if they fit well, and we will set the demo bindings to them. If your boots are the problem, rent Performance boots at the counter instead.
How a demo works
- Test all-mountain, freeride and carving shapes
- Swap skis during your rental
- Bring your own boots or rent ours
- Staff set demo bindings to your boots
- Ask for a recommendation before you commit
