Purgatory Rentals is a slopeside rental shop featuring convenient pick-up and drop-off. Our shop is located on the second floor of the village center building, just above Purgatory Sports. If there’s snow heading our way, please allow for an hour or more of extra travel time for snowy roads. Check the weather often if your trip is coming up as it can change very quickly.

Know before you go!

Reserving gear in advance is recommended, but not required. 
When you reserve a time slot you are expected to show up within that block of time. If you need to make changes to your rental pick-up time please let us know in advance. 

For Skiers

Your skier ability will determine your safety release setting based on a scale of 1-3. Accurate height, weight, age, and skier ability will ensure the safest setting for your skis. 

  • Please specify height to the nearest inch and weight to the nearest pound, this information will be used to safely set up your ski rental. 
  • Height and skier ability will influence the length of your ski. (Better skier = longer ski)
  • We will use your shoe size to provide a comfort-fit boot and your skier ability to provide a performance fit boot when necessary. 
  • Skier ability is not the same as your ski school level.

For Snowboarders

Snowboards are not designed to release so your “skier” ability will not be used for the bindings. Feel free to request a certain length or profile from our package options. 

  • A snowboard length will be chosen based on your height and your skier ability. 
  • We will use your shoe size to provide a comfort fit boot and your skier ability to provide a performance fit boot when necessary. 

For Lessons

  • Those who have lessons must be punctual. Morning and full-day group lessons start at 9:30am and afternoon group lessons start at 1:00pm. Morning private lessons start at 9:00am and afternoon private lessons start at 1:00pm.
  • The rental shop cannot guarantee you make it to a 9:00am lesson if you show up for your rentals at 8:45. You are not the only person/people renting equipment. 
  • If you are a first-time skier, a private lesson will be the best experience. 
  • Group lessons should be booked for those with similar skill levels.
