Ski rentals

Ski rentals in Idaho Springs, Colorado

Kids, Sport, Performance and Demo ski packages from $25 per day, tuned and fitted at I-70 Exit 241 on your way to Loveland, A-Basin, Winter Park and Keystone.

What is included

Skis, boots, poles and a binding set for you

Every ski rental comes as a complete package: skis, boots, poles and bindings adjusted to your weight, height and ability. We check edge sharpness and base condition before the gear goes on the counter, and we fit your boots in person rather than handing you a box.

If you ski more than a few days a season, ask about seasonal rentals — we keep early-bird packages and kids' season rentals on older demo skis.

In every package

  • Skis matched to your height, weight and ability
  • Boots fitted for shell length and heel hold
  • Poles included
  • Bindings set and function-tested at the counter
  • Free roll wax with every rental

Pickup and returns

The stop takes about as long as a coffee

Everything is fitted at the counter in Idaho Springs. Nothing is handed to you straight off a rack at the base of the mountain.

Early pickup after 2 PM

Free the day before your rental starts. Not available if you are skiing that same evening — pick up on the way through instead.

Boots fitted in person

We check shell fit, heel hold and stance, then set bindings to your weight, height, ability and boot sole.

Return by 7 PM

Drop gear back at the same shop on your last day. Stuck on I-70? Call 303-567-2044 and we will arrange a late return.

Before you drive up

Grip Walk, boot fit and what to bring

Ski boot soles are the one thing that trips people up. If your own boots have Grip Walk soles, book Performance or Demo skis — Sport skis use standard alpine bindings and will not release correctly with that sole.

Bring the socks you will actually ski in. Thin or medium ski socks give a better fit than thick cotton, and dry socks in the car make the drive home easier.

Boot compatibility

  • Grip Walk soles: book Performance or Demo
  • Standard alpine soles: any package works
  • Bring thin or medium ski socks
  • Pack a warm layer for the drive home

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Are ski boots included in the rental price?

Yes. Every Maison de Ski ski package includes boots, skis, poles and bindings set to your weight and ability. You can also bring your own boots as long as the sole matches the package — Sport skis do not accept Grip Walk soles, while Performance and Demo skis do.

What does a kids' ski rental include?

The kids' package for ages 12 and under includes Elan parabolic skis with U-Flex, lighter junior boots, support poles and a helmet. It starts at $25 per day.

Can I try a ski before buying it?

Yes. Demo skis from Elan, Rossignol and Black Crows start at $55 per day and are the way to test a model on real snow. Because demo renters can swap skis during their rental, a specific model may not be on the rack when you arrive.

How long do ski rentals take to pick up?

Most fittings take 15 to 20 minutes for a single skier. Reserving online and picking up after 2 PM the day before keeps the line short on powder mornings.

What happens if I need to cancel?

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