What a friendly group of people! From the minute we walked in until we left, these guys were genuine and helpful. I recommend!

Great selection of rentals ! Amazing multi-lingual staff ! My wheelchair was also able to fit easily through the door so I would say this shop is ADA friendly ! This shop spoiled me with my helmet rental ( was able to rent a Pret for a very reasonable price ) ...didn't know how lucky I had it until going to other local mountains shops like ones in Breckenridge which only offered giro or head helmets . Highly recommend! read more

We really loved our time with VST gear- they provided surprise overnight storage which we loved, had spots to hold shoes, and were overall so kind. Gear was spot on, as well. Priced SIGNIFICANTLY better than other vail suppliers- I called them all. Great all around. read more

It all starts with great service, add in super knowledgeable and experienced staff that listen to what you want, a bunch of friendly dogs -- wouldn't go to any other ski (or bike) shop in Vail. This place is the best. read more

Their team was great! I went in for a hot wax and the guy told me my board was in great shape, scraped the storage wax and I was good to go. They also did a quick storage wax on my board when my trip ended. I was in and out in 20 min. read more

Great mom and pop ski rental place in Vail. Still independently owned. My friend used this place for their rental skis and the rest of the party with their own skis was able to use their ski check service. Very conveniently located in the Lionshead Village near the ice rink. There is a super friendly dog in the shop too. Love this place and it's vibe. read more

First time in my life that I had boots that didn't cause pain and blisters. These guys, gals and furry friends are great!! So nice, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Skis and boot rentals for the whole family and everyone had great fit and said it was the most comfortable, convenient and fun experience! We stored our boots and skis there every night. Even when we skied at BC. Easy to grab and go and the boots were warm and dry. We just loved petting the pups Thank you! read more

I asked for a GOOD demo and I was given a beginner, no edge, now wax. I dropped them off and they didn't really care I had a terrible day at Vail. very sad and disappointed. cute dogs. read more

Just saw a bad review from JW. I don't know what he's talking about. We've been coming to Vail Ski Tech for years and we get nothing but the highest quality product and service. They've let me demo boots and skis until I found the perfect equipment for me at unbeatable prices. They keep our skis in perfect shape. And got a great price, they dry our boots and each morning we get to slip in to warm boots. Then there are all the adorable ski shop dogs. LOVE VAIL SKI TECH! read more

Awesome ski rentals here! Nice Demos!! Great Staff here at Lionshead!! Easy 5 Stars !! read more

Only place in the area that I found that rents just boots. Gave me a primer on adjusting bindings correctly as mine were not quite right at the start. Friendly staff and friendly dogs- always a good sign. read more

I rented snow boots and a snowboard. They were friendly and helpful when I went in for my fitting. Prices are great too. Would def recommend checking them out. There is the cutest golden that hangs around. read more

This is the best and friendliest shop in Vail convenient located near the gondola at Lionshead. Not sure where J. W. went recently. Was suspicious of the veracity when he recommended the Arabelle. There's no better shop and no better service than Vail Ski Tech.. read more

Repeat customer type of place. 5/5. I recommend reserving online. Prices are competitive, gear is solid, and location is prime. Remember you can use the 30 min free parking at Lionshead garage to get in and out for quick pick up and drop offs if you happen to be skiing out of the other bases. BONUS friendly pups hanging out at the shop read more

You're better off going to Arrabelle next door. Worst experience ever. Ski bums at their worst. I was planning on spending a metric ton of money here because they had the exact skis and boots I wanted and my cousin recommended this place. They messed up and screwed with the wrong man. If you're an American, don't bother going here. Foreign employees will pass you by to assist chicks or other foreigners. They'll even go out of their way to not help you and then place the blame on you and cuss you when they think you're not listening. You know who you are. I heard every word. I have had better service at Wal-Mart. Chumps and unprofessional. read more

This is the hidden gem of ski rentals at Lionshead Village in Vail. They are just a two minute walk from the lifts. They will also store your skis at their shop so that you don't have to lug them around. The people there were really nice and helpful. They seemed like they really enjoy helping skier, unlike some of the other rental shops. The prices are really good. They offer multi-day discounts. Their Demo skis are priced lower than other companies Sport skis and they work hard to make sure you have a great experience. You can't go wrong renting from. Vail Ski Tech. read more

I am an expert skier and have skied my entire life. always used my own equipment But with new equipment, I opted to rent and try the newest skis available. But, this rental and sales shop proved to me their resources and knowledge are the best reason to rent (and buy) from them. Vail Ski Tech has the best beginner to expert equipment to rent and the experienced staff to recommend what is best for you and your family. Thanks to Vail Ski Tech, I had the right skis for my visit and was able to use their "demo" ski rental option to try a few different skis to be sure I had the very best ski for me! I highly recommend Vail Ski Tech. read more

Extremely terrible customer service, rude and inefficient. We waited an hour and half to get ski rentals only to find out they didn't fit right. We came back the next day asking where we can get refitted, the guy behind the counter (Keith is the name I think) started speaking really loudly and impatiently directing us to another area. When we tried to ask if we need to stand in the rental line to get refitted, he started shouting and ridiculing us so the entire store were looking at us. Saying things like "everyone is getting refitted" "I'm not having this conversation" and ignored our further questions. We asked to see the manager and Keith ignored us as well. When we finally found the manager, we could tell he was annoyed and showed no empathy with our experience. But at least he listened, wasn't rude, and showed basic courtesy. This is a perfect example of a management that don't know how to handle proper company culture. Reading the other reviews with similar experiences (there are lots), this place clearly don't understand how to run a customer service-based store. Don't expect these guys treat you with respect because they don't care and they don't know better. There are so many other stores a few steps away that will value your business. But if you have to go there, try to avoid Keith if possible. read more

These guys are the best! Went in to rent skis and found an incredibly personable staff with excellent customer service. They don't rush you, and they are very diligent about getting you fitted properly for boots, poles and skis. Really great, fun-loving guys who clearly love whet they do. Plus there was a HUGE St. Bernard on site that made my day. These are the guys to see in Lionshead Village. Highly recommend!' read more

I went to about 6 shops when looking for boots, and from the start Phil and his staff were super patient and had to best option to demo boots for a day or two before buying them. They stock all boots new, which are available to test for demo days. This means you can go back and forth to the mountain trying 3-6 boots in a day. I was about to buy a pair of boots from another shop by Nordica, which would have been a huge mistake. I tried them out here and after two runs I was about to cry. I tried on a few more and then found an amazing pair of Lange boots, which fit right out of the box! They explained to me how other shops do custom fittings, and heat molding, but alot of that was fluff and the best would be to find a boot that fit out of the box. Tooth, Jeff and Barry were all super helpful. Barry was the one who rang me up in the end and was super nice, but Tooth was super patient getting all the boots out for me while the shop was super busy. They adjusted my skis each time and then put them outside for me too. Their shop dogs are also awesome, and are two golden good boys 8 ) Overall I will be back to rent my skis from them now, since you can store your skis and shoes too and walk pretty close to the moutain. I highly recommend them based on their service and prices! The boots were a great deal and Phil was really nice to match pricing on what else was out there. read more

Vail Ski Tech help to make my trip to Vail way better than expected. The people that work in the shop are super nice and knowledgeable. The ski and boot storage was much better than ski delivery because we didn't have to lug our equipment all the way back to our condo daily because they were located so close to the gondola. They are prob the cheapest and also had great dogs too. read more

When I first started coming to Vail I was a little nervous as I was a beginning snow boarder. The staff here went out of their way to ensure that I was comfortable. Not only did they take the time to measure me with my board switch my boots out to see if I liked them like 3 times and mesure me in my bindings .... but then after my first day on the mountain they took the time to adjust and readjust my bindings (switch out my boots again when I mentioned they were a little uncomfortable). They made me feel like there was no shame in switching and they wanted to make sure that I was the most comfortable that I could be. All the staff really goes out of their way to help you but the 8 years that I have been coming here, Keith has been our go to guy. Jeff is also super helpful and friendly. - [x] Knowledgeable staff - [x] Great service - [x] Great prices - [x] Closely located to the mountain - [x] Overnight storage (free if your renting) (small amount if you bring your own stuff I forgot how much) To note: make sure to make reservations especially if you're coming during Christmas/New Years it's their busy season you might not get rentals. See you next year Vail Ski Tech!!!! read more

Vail Ski Tech - Ski instructor keith Jeff my first time skier Monica and my husband Chris (snowboarder) - Ski & Snowboard Shops Near Me - Vail, Colorado

I would never recommend this store. The rental was over priced, the waiting was long and the service was really bad.

Ski Tech is an amazing outfit. They are a 5 star experience where we rented everything from head to toe from helmet, gloves, clothing to skis and snowboard. The entire team (except one, explained in a bit) was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable and a special call out to the incredibly affable Mike Parker who not only guided us in our fitting but went beyond with his soothing mental predation with my wife for her very first ski experience. Every one was especially patient, understanding, answering all of our questions, providing advice, and making sure everything fit perfectly. Really could not ask for more. Unfortunately, the knock in stars comes from the 5 minute experience with a guy named Nick when we went to return our gear. He was a complete jerk when we needed help with the googles we purchased. Not friendly, crap attitude, not patient, in fact, he abandoned us in the middle of "helping" us. He earns the distinction of being the only jerk we encountered on our otherwise dream trip and that includes the TSA folks at the airport. Sadly, like a sh!t stain on a dream white wedding dress, it's truly a bummer but still a brown stain. Aside from Nick which I would immediately ask for anyone, even cute Mr Sugar would be more helpful, could not more highly recommend Ski Tech for Vail rental as they will make your experience super easy, pleasant, and fun. read more

First time renting here and was really just looking for the lowest price option. I found this place to be the most affordable option throughout vail. I reserved online a week before my actual reserved ski days. You can pick up the day before you ski which is always a nice option. Staff was friendly but they are pretty busy inside and it took a bit of time to get help. Once I was, the whole process of getting fitted for ski boots and skis took only 15 minutes so that was efficient. Equipment was high performance for a low price. I would recommend renting from here! read more

Vail Ski Tech is the best ski shop I've used in the last 30 years. Their location is ideal in Lionshead. It's close to the top of the escalator by the Arabella, next to Lionshead Jewelers. The prices are fair and the staff is incredibly personable and helpful. Their ski storage is very reasonable, as well. I can't say enough about Vail Ski Tech. read more

I want to thank all at Vail Ski Tech for there amazing service and dedication to me and my large family. we have been part of the family for over 30 years and growing. There is not another place in Vail that provides the service and experience this guys provide day in and day out. They treat us like royalty and my friend Keith goes out of his way to make us feel special always. There are many nIce and good places in Vail but nothing compares to Vail ski tech. Craig congrats on the amazing and loyal staff you have been able to assemble throughout the years. read more

Vail Ski Tech was recommended to us by the concierge at our hotel. It's located in Lionshead and they've got all sorts of gear to rent out. The guys here were super nice and chill. They clearly know their stuff and love the snow. The prices were really reasonable and cheap. If I ever find my way back to Vail, this would be a great spot to rent our gear for a good price. read more

The worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. Not only had to wait for extremely slow service but also unbelievable rude. Regret coming to this place read more

Nestled in the corner of the re-vamped Lionshead is a place that should be THE place for you to rent your gear. Probably the best demo packages around the area.. And the even better part is they have a "wish list" at the end of the season where you can buy some of the gear. I haggled last year and bought a new pair of boots, some uber thin socks... and got a phone call last week that my wish came true! And a pair of Nordica Phenoms with beautiful bindings were all mine at a ridiculously shaved price. The guys and girls inside this place are super helpful and trust me, PATIENT. Summer time, these dudes are there to rent you some bikes and drop your ass off at the top of Vail Pass so you can cruise down.. except for that one spot where you go up hill. And it sucks. Overall. Don't go somewhere else. Go here! read more

This is the best ski rental service I've used in over 20 years. The equipment are either new or very well maintained and fairly new. The people who work here know what they're doing, from the guys fitting you to the young ladies at the cash register. They work hard and do not waste any time. The prices are very reasonable and the service is excellent. Storing boots overnight was reasonably priced and they have an efficient system that gets people in and out fast. I will definitely rent here again. The two dogs are nice greeters. read more

I am super late to post this, but we were there over our Winter Break, (last week of December and into the New Year) but Keith hooked us up! We loved the vibe as well as all the employees and most importantly the dogs! Highly recommend. (Also heard that the owner was thinking about closing shop, so if so, this place will be a true loss to this village/community. read more

Best ski rental I have used. Everyone seems to actually enjoy their job and like helping you. All questions are answered with a smile. They actually take the time to discuss your level of skiing and find the right kind of equipment for you. Without upselling! Had to go through a couple of boots to find the right fit. There was never a problem. read more

Great place to rent skis. Customer service was great. Definitely recommend renting from here

We rented from Vail Ski Tech for four days while skiing. Super friendly and helpful staff, very efficient and quick to get you in and out everyday for more time on the slopes. Location is a short walk from the LIonshead gondola. Prices are competitive and they give you good discounts for multi-day rentals. My sister and her fiance had to leave town due to a family emergency so didn't use their rentals. The staff there refunded their money without hassel which was really great. I would highly recommend renting from these guys when you are in Vail! read more

We have been renting our skis in Vail Ski Tech for many years. This place is amazing, they are so helpful and accommodating. Hopefully you have the luck of getting Keith to help you. He gives you such personal service, has the best attitude, always happy, always goes out of his way to help my kids. THANK YOU KEITH!! read more
