lake Tahoe Ski rentals
Going in Feb. to Tahoe. I am bringing my boots, but am thinking of renting
the skis. I have just taken the boots from New York to Alta, Winter Park and Jackson Hole. It avoids grief in traveling. I do not want to rent over at Heavenly or Sierra. Can someone recommend Ski shops in South Tahoe. Thanks Mike |

The reason is I dont want to get invoved with ski area rental lines and
waits. My own atomics were bought after doing the demo thing. I 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.

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? //Walt |

On a busy holiday, the rental line is about one hour at Sierra, and longer at Heavenly in the morning. For ski rental at South Lake Tahoe, try Sunrise Ski-Snowboard Rental, 3202 Hwy 50 (west of the agriculture inspection station), (530)577-3176, good price, if you mention Ichin sent you, you may even get some discount. While you're at it, you may want to get some discount lift tickets for Sierra, Kirkwood, or Heavenly, it may save you half an hour to an hour waiting at ticket windows. Good luck, IS Thanks Mike |
