Summer and Winter Gear Rentals in Breckenridge
Breckenridge is a four-season destination and our weather and landscapes shift wildly between summer and winter. The right gear and layers make all the difference when it comes to a memorable day of shredding fresh powder, hiking in the fall leaves or playing on the water. Here’s where to find trusted gear and local experts in Breckenridge.
Gear Rental Tips:
- Rather than checking extra luggage, pack lighter and rent your helmet, goggles, insulated jacket, bibs and more when you get to Breckenridge!
- Reserve early (a month in advance is smart) and online for deeper discounts and the best selection. At least 72 hours in advance will often get you 20 percent off walk-in prices.
- Ask about multi-day rental discounts and package deals (e.g. skis, boots, helmet in one package).
- If there’s an option to pick up ski gear the night before you plan on hitting the slopes, do it. No need to waste any precious time standing in line to round up gear. That means you can get up and go!
- Ask about damage insurance.
- Always rent a helmet with your bike, skis or snowboard.
- Be sure to try on gear the night before.
- Lean on the rental shop pros to point you to the right gear for your skill level. Be honest with them about your comfort level and experience—those huge powder skis may look cool, but you need to know how to drive them.
- Avoid the gear errand altogether; arrange for delivery service. Check out Ski Butlers and Black Tie Ski Rentals for door to door rental services.
Breckenridge Winter Gear Rentals
Winter adventure essentials include skis/snowboard, poles, boots, helmet and goggles. Local gear shops carry downhill, cross-country and backcountry skis along with avalanche safety gear for backcountry adventurers. Some shops specialize in fat bikes and many carry snowshoes and poles.
Clothing rentals are also available if you’d like a top-of-the-line ski jacket and snowpants. Word to the wise: in Breckenridge, a sunny spring forecast can turn into a two-foot powder day overnight. It’s best to have multiple layers and plan to overdress and shed layers as the day goes on. Gear shops sell base layers, winter sport socks and gloves of every variety.
