I have been going to the Vista Bahn Rentals since the late 70's. Family inspired, very knowledgeable, great equipment and excellent repair work. Aside from being very convenient, they are definitely what makes Vail a great experience. And it's just by Gondola 1! read more

Great rental experience! This company cares. In and out with a smile on our face! Highly recommend for service and value! Right by the Gondola One and Lift Ticket counter. Park your car, get your gear on and start your day at Vista Bahn! read more

Friendly folks, super convenient right next to the lifts, good prices and there's always an awesome dog or two to greet you. What's not to love? They also have lots of the small stuff that i always forget like socks, lip balm, goggles and lenses. And the locker/basket service is cool too. Instead of lugging all your skis and stuff to your condo or hotel, just leave it with them and it'll be ready to gear up the next morning. read more

Super easy in-and-out service! This place is located right at the One Gondola at Vail (downstairs). I rented a few years older wooden, freshly-waxed Rossignol Skis. They stored my other skis for about $55. It would have been $58 to rent demo skis. Either way, they stood behind the product and I was welcome to change them out if I wanted. They offer many different services and it is obvious they know their stuff. I believe they could have done binding adjustments, waxes, etc. read more

We had a great experience at Vista Bahn this week. We just needed to store our skis/poles, boots and miscellaneous items overnight. But the customer service couldn't have been better and the price was pleasantly low. Our skis were waxed and stored overnight for just $10/pair, our boots were stored under a dryer for $8/pair and we got a storage basket the size of a milk crate for just $8/24-hr. The location couldn't have been more convenient -- literally steps from Gondola One. And the young bilingual crew was absolutely delightful -- friendly, helpful and very efficient. We highly recommend this business! read more

We love this place - it's like family! They have the very best location and are extremely friendly ! Family owned and always fun! Usually they have their puppies there which the girls are fascinated with their morning and afternoon play time with the pups! Best service They rent baskets to keep ur belongings! U can literally ski right to the steps and go down the stairs and change ur boots and warm up We love this place always recommended read more

Staff took great care of me in a pinch. I am skiing a Beaver Creek tomorrow and they were able to give me a tune in just a couple hours. They also let us rent baskets to keep our stuff while we ski due to Covid not allowing lockers this year. Very friendly group of awesome people. Thanks!!! read more

Just returned from a ski trip to Vail and I would like a give a warm heartfelt shout out to Vistabahn Ski Rentals!!! Best proximity to Gondola 1...CHECK! Totally amazing staff that makes you feel welcome, taken care of, and valued.....CHECK! Made changing demo skis effortless...CHECK!

Of all the years skiing I have never experienced such a top notch shop with top notch people delivering top notch service!!! THANK YOU VISTABAHN FAMILY!!! Much love from Malibu!!! read more

Vista Bahn ROCKS! Dom & Sacha matched my skiing ability to the new Nordica Santa Ana skis. I haven't skied like this in years. They are a great fit for my skiing ability. They recommended I test them out first (no pressure to buy) and once I decided, I called and I was able to pick them up the next day on my way up the hill. They are an excellent all mountain ski. Fantastic service. I love the ability to rent a locker and leave my gear behind for the next day and walk around Vail in my comfortable shoes. A win, win. read more

Great location and even better experts working there. Haven't been on skis in 20 years and had a great experience with the equipment they recommended. Thanks Barclay Rabin and Vista Bahn! read more

Have been renting skis, boots, poles and helmet from Vista Bahn for probably about 10 years now! Dominique is a constant, and this year Francisco provided his expert advice. They always recommend the right skis for the conditions. And sharpen/wax mid week. Super conveniently located next to Gondola 1 in Vail Village. Highly recommend for rentals or just overnight storage! read more

My family has been going here for 12 years. We rented from them for a few years until we purchased our own equipment. They take great care selecting their demo fleet each year, and their staff always finds the a great ski for your ability. They offer a personal experience that is tough to find around vail these days. Even though we no longer rent daily, we still stop in VBSR every day to drop our shoes with their basket storage service. We love not being able to change in and out of our boots at the base of the mountain instead of in the parking garage. We also frequently store our boots and skis over night and get a quick wax job. VBSR is a fantastic family run business that takes exceptional care of their customers. read more

Location is excellent - steps from Gondola 1. However, beware of "free" overnight boot storage for rental boots. You will need to pay for a locker or basket to store your shoes during the day. This came as quite a surprise when we dropped off our skis at the end of 5 days. read more

Dominique stopped what she was doing to help Christina with her ski boots with both of them smiling and visiting the whole time! Such a great place and crew. read more

You won't find a more knowledgeable staff than Vistabahn Ski Rentals staff. Steps away from Gondola One in Vail Village. Great place to stash your equipment overnight. Barclay Rabin did a full tune on my ski's and they grip and rip like brand new!.....better than brand new! Best tune you can get in this town bar none. Great place for beginners and experts alike. read more

VBSR has been our go-to shop at Vail for years. Sascha, Dominique, their staff and dogs have been great. We have used the shop both to rent skis and to store our equipment. We always rent a basket for storage while on the slopes. Very convenient location, right off Gondola No. 1 and the just off where we end our day. No lugging equipment. Prices are very fair. Always a good experience at VBSR! read more

I highly recommend Vista Bahn as the place for all your rental needs. It's right at the base of gondola 1 in the Vail Village and even if you have a multi day rental, your skis/boots stay there. No more dragging your equipment through town. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Beginner or advanced, they've got what you need. You can't go wrong. read more

We found VBSR as we were walking towards the Gondola and thought we would first try it for renting a daily basket. The folks there were very accommodating, efficient and knowledgeable, so we decided to chose them for a demo rental package for our sons. It worked out perfectly, and although the shop would get crowded at peak times, the employees were never flustered or rude, they just stayed on top of everything and it all worked out. Looking forward to using them on our next trip! read more

My family just finished a week-long trip to Vail. We chose VBSR due to their location by Gondola 1 and the free overnight rental gear storage. We were extremely happy with everything. VBSR is literally steps away from Gondola 1. The staff was cheerful and very helpful. The gear was top notch and VBSR made sure we had exactly what we needed. We will definitely continue to rent our gear from VBSR. Thank you VBSR! You really helped make our trip great! read more

Vista Bahn in a hidden gem in Vail Village. A wonderful family run shop with top shelf equipment! Staff is incredibly friendly and there is always super cute dog wandering around. If you want to ski your typical corporate owned ski shop in Vail, head to Vista Bahn!! Added bonus is their amazing location next to gondola 1. From their front door to the lift is maybe a 30 second walk. read more

Fantastic shop! This is my second year using them for a 3 day rental, and they have all of the skis I lust over all year available for demo. Although the skis are top notch, the customer service is the best part. Great people who keep their cool and still take care of each customer as if they were the only one even at peak times. They offer rental, quick tunes, storage and are literally located at the gondola, so when you're done skiing for the day you just drop your stuff with them and don't have to trek it back to your room before après ski. Lastly, the prices are fair, if not excellent. read more

My wife and I store our ski equipment all season at Vista Bahn. They could just treat us like a revenue source. But instead, they treat us like friends, and give us the kind of personal attention one doesn't expect these days at a huge corporate ski resort. But they're not corporate; they're a ma-and-pa business... or in this case, sis-and-bro. And they know their business! That's why we're going back for the season starting soon. read more

Best family-owned ski shop in Vail. Customer Service always comes first! If you're a local, a season wouldn't be complete without a locker @ Joel's. If you're bringing your family on vacation, there's no better home base than Vista Bahn Ski Rentals. Sasha and Dom help keep Vail down to earth... read more

First time to Vail with my Wife, Father in Law and 3 daughters. Came here to rent bikes. My Daughters were complaining about their seats - the owners of the shop spent 30 minutes swapping out seats for us to make sure they were comfortable. Completely going above and beyond anything I would ever expect. Extremely friendly and honest owners. It was obvious they truly wanted their customers to. E happy. Thanks guys!!! read more
