We aim to give you advice that will ensure you have exactly what you need for your activity. We rent Skis, Snowboards, Boots, Jackets, Ski pants, Goggles, Gloves and Helmets. Also Thermal Snow Boots and Sledges if you’re just wanting to play in the snow. You will also need warm woollen socks, thermals, beanie (if nor renting helmet) and warm clothes, fleece etc. We have plenty of these items instore to buy for your convenience.

Our multi day packages (5 and 7 Days) are priced so low that you can choose which days to use the gear for the one very cost effective price. Our 5 day package is priced at around 2.5 days rental and the 7 day package at approx 3.5 days.

We have our own Ruapehu Regular Rentals Deals, where you can pre purchase rental either 5 Days Anytime Flexi or 10 days Anytime Flexi, and return the gear at the end of each trip to the mountain. This means “You” have tuned gear every time you come and we get to use the gear in between.

Generally, Booking is not necessary, but we have added a booking form for this season for those customers that are concerned about particular sizes. It’s usually much more efficient to come into the shop to be fitted by our team. This ensures you get correct fit – making you comfortable for your entire ski trip. We guarantee you’ll be happy with the gear you hire from us.

If you are worried about this use our new booking form so we can have gear set aside for you.

Yes you can collect rental after 3pm the day before you need it, and we don’t close till 7pm, so getting the gear the evening before means you not wasting valuable mountain time.

It generally takes less than 10 minutes for one person plus a few minutes for each extra person in your group.

Yes, we will have your details recorded, please use our new booking system and we will have the gear set up waiting for you, or similar upgraded gear if the records are from a previous season.

No problem. Just keep skiing and when you return, we will put you on the best rental rate based on the time that you have had the gear.

We think we have a better product that is more cost efficient, especially our 5 day rate. With our rental gear you will always have tuned gear. And if you’re needing to rent clothing, it is better to be wearing it before you get to the mountain. Plus we take the time to fit you expertly and make sure the first time is the only time you need to be fitted.

The edges on yours skis or board need to be sharpened regularly so they can hold an edge and to turn in hard snow. Wax on the base helps the ski or board to run freely. We tune our rentals after every use.

Yes we are open Friday Nights till midnight once the season is underway, in both the rental and shop. You can come in and get set up with rentals and ensure your equipped for a early start in the morning.
