Dressed for Success: Rent

Are you about to try skiing for the first time? Don't borrow equipment, rent! I know it can be very tempting to save a few bucks by borrowing those straight skis and those boots that almost fit, but it is worth the money to rent. Ill fitting or outdated equipment can ruin a ski experience. The rental center at Nub's Nob turns over the inventory every other year, so you get the latest technology and equipment. Joyce Moore and her team are experts at finding you the right boot size and will even help you put them on. They know what ski length is right for your size and ability and your bindings will be perfectly adjusted. They even have a quick way to measure what size poles you will need. Renting elsewhere is better than borrowing, but I recommend to rent where you are skiing. That way if you need to adjust or trade anything you can. Also, less hauling equipment around. If you rent at Nub's Nob, you can use the day and overnight ski check for free.
