Once your forms are done and your lift ticket is booked online, head to the Rental Shop for your equipment. Please make sure everything on the rental form is correct and accurate; the fit depends on it. See what is available and what it costs on Rentals & Equipment.
Step 1 — Helmet
Helmets are the law for alpine skiing and snowboarding in Nova Scotia. Our rental techs will make sure yours fits properly.
Step 2 — Boots
Collect your alpine ski or snowboard boots at the boot counter, take a seat on the bench and put both boots on. Ask a rental tech if you are unsure about the fit — a correct, comfortable boot is the difference between a good day and a long one. Street shoes go in a storage cubby or a coin-operated locker.
Step 3 — Skis or snowboard
Skis are at the ski counter. We partner with Head Skis to provide the best skis to learn on as part of the HeadStart Program. For a snowboard, go to the snowboard counter — Burton Learn To Ride boards are built for getting started. Note your inventory number; the rental tech can write it on your lift ticket for you.
Step 4 — Poles
Skiers pick up poles at the pole counter at the end of the rental shop.
Step 5 — Using your equipment
- Step off the deck and onto the snow before you put your skis or board on.
- Clear as much snow as you can from your bindings and the bottom of your boots.
- Coming inside for a break? Leave skis, board and poles in the racks on the deck — and remember the number on the tip or nose.
- When you are done for the day, return everything through the door you used to leave the shop.
Always follow the Alpine Responsibility Code.
