The reason is I dont want to get invoved with ski area rental lines

also want to ski different areas, and to have to go to the area rental
shop each tine, forgetting about that day, would be crazzy.

Wow. Don't know where you've been, but my local's demo shop is separate
from the main rental, uncrowded, and considerate. Willing to chat about
the skis, too. Even so, the best plan would be to arrive early and take
it easy. (P.S. the main rental's pretty quick, also.)
I don't know squat about South Tahoe shops - whole nother world.

This is one of those things that vary greatly from place to place. A
crowded resort full of families doing the package thing can have a
rental queue of Disneyesque or Vailesque proportions. Sometimes there's
a separate demo ski desk. Sometimes there isn't. When there isn't, you
don't want to be there.

Observation: the more expensive trendy resorts tend to have all-in-one
rental desks as many of their rental customers are willing to pay more
for "the best" whether they know what it is or not. But, the more more
expensive trendy resorts tend to have slopeside shopping which includes
several ski shops who do rentals/demos.

But it seems the OP is looking for a weekly rental that he can just
throw in the rental car and thereafter act as if they're his own skis.
I have no idea what to recomend, but I'm sure South Lake Tahoe has at
least a dozen places that do weekly rentals. Google?
