  • Reserve your equipment

    Choose dates and equipment, then add each renter. Online reservations save 10% with no deposit, and they're how you secure equipment over Christmas and spring break.

  • Get fitted at the base area shop

    Every renter visits in person, kids included. We size boots first, then set up skis or a board and adjust bindings to that person.

  • Pick up from 2 PM the day before

    Staying in the valley? Take your equipment to your lodging the afternoon before, at no extra rental-day cost. Holiday-week pickup often opens earlier, so call for times.

  • Return after your last ski day

    Drop equipment off by closing time, or by 10 AM the next morning, with no added day's charge. Damage insurance is included in every package.

Ski Packages

All ski rentals include skis, boots, and poles.

Snowboard Packages

All rentals include a board, bindings, and boots.

Kids' and Junior Rentals

Kid and junior packages are the same ski and snowboard setups sized down. Anyone 13 and over books the adult package. We size in the shop rather than from a chart, because a child who fit a boot last February often doesn't now.

Season Rentals

In-store service only

Renting for the whole winter? Ski, snowboard, and boot sizes can be exchanged at any point in the season, so a child who grows by February can size up.

Not included: helmets, jackets, or pants.

Ski Packages

All ski rentals include skis, boots, and poles.

How to Get from Our Bluebird Location in Taos Ski Valley to Taos Ski ValleySki Resort

The mountain runs from 8,600’ at the base to 10,677’ at the summit, with an intermediate-heavy trail spread that suits families and mixed-ability groups. Angel Fire is roughly two hours from Santa Fe, three from Albuquerque, and 23 miles from Taos. Nearly everyone drives in, so check road conditions before you set out, especially if snow is in the forecast. If you arrive the day before you ski, come by after you've checked in: evening pickup is the best thing you can do to save time on your first morning.

Taos Ski Valley Rental FAQs

Do I need a reservation?

No, but we recommend one. Reserving online saves you 10%, takes no deposit, and guarantees equipment during Christmas and spring break, when we run short.

How far is the shop from Taos Ski Valley Resort?

We're located about half a mile from Angel Fire, which is just a 2-minute drive from our shop.

My boots hurt on day one. Can I change them?

Yes, and please do. Come back in, and we'll swap the boots or refit them, at no extra charge. Don't let a bad boot ruin your time on the mountain.

Do you rent gear for young kids?

Yes, we rent ski, snowboard, and boot packages in kids' sizes. Our season packages let you swap sizes as a child grows through the winter.

Can I get skis or a snowboard tuned mid-trip, without losing days on Taos Ski Valley?

Most work is ready by 5 PM the following day, so if you drop them off in the evening, we can save you some time on the mountain.
