Commitment-shy? Our ski and snowboard leases are perfect for you!

by Ben Cranson, ski and snow shop guru

Are you or your kids planning on hitting the slopes more than a few times this season? Our expanded ski and board lease packages are a great way to avoid repeated rentals and the expense of ownership.

The package is $125 for youth (under age 18) and $150 for adults and includes skis, boots and poles or a board, boots and bindings.

Package details:

All customers get unlimited trade-ins. Come in at any time to exchange your current leased product for a larger or smaller size. You can also exchange your current leased program for a different sport, skiing to snowboarding or nordic, for example.
Bring your leased gear in at any time for a machine buff wax.
Our lease program starts at all stores on Friday, Oct. 5. The deadline for returning leased gear is 5/31/13.

Equipment details: We’re serious about having the best rental and lease equipment. Our fleet is mostly new and professionally maintained:

Atomic Alpine skis that are the most gentle and comfortable all-round off-roader ski package available. Our youth skis are perfect for first time skiers and young racers alike.
Salomon ski boots with advanced shell technology for precision and an extra wide sensifit liner for easy entry.
Burton LTR Cruiser Snowboards with a rockered tip and tail that not only improves handling but the overall riding experience.
Burton Speed Zone Lacing boots that will keep your toes warm, even on the coldest powder day in Tahoe.
**New this year** Fischer Nordic Classic skis and boots for those looking to get out and explore the wilderness.
**New this year** Salomon Nordic Skate skis and boots to help keep you in shape over the winter and ready for tri season next spring.

Hi,
The Presidio store didn’t have adult stuff in yet when I asked last week. Any chance you could update the post once we can pick stuf up? Great deal by the way!

Is the lease price for an adult package $150.00 for the season or per month? Its not clear in the description.

Thanks,

Hi Chuck, the lease package price covers the entire season, not just a month. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Hi,
What if I wanted to lease skis AND snowboard for my 12 year old son, would the cost be $300 for the season or is there a multi-sport discount?

Hey Asher, If you wanted to take home both skis and a snowboard the same day, it’d be $300. However, you can always take skis for one trip, bring them back afterwards and trade ‘em in for a snowboard, all for the same rate ($150), and keep doing that however much you’d like all season. Hope this helps!
