Helpful 'Getting Around' Hints for First Timers:

First visit the ticket office. The ticket offices are on the first floor of the day lodge. Lift tickets are considered a general admission. You must have a lift ticket to have slope access and rent equipment. If renting equipment, your ticket will also be coded with your rental information.

After receiving your lift ticket, place it on your jacket. Metal wire first, then label. Proceed to the rental department to pick up your equipment if you rented equipment from us. After you receive your lift ticket, follow the signs to the Rental Facility.

Once inside the Rental Facility:

Step 1. Pick out your boots. Ski boots are closer to the entrance. Snowboard boots are closer to the exit.

Step 2. Find a spot on the benches.

Step 3. Try on your size. Sizes generally match your foot in a dress shoe. You can notch up or down several sizes by adjusting the buckle. Only one pair of socks please! Otherwise the boots will not fit properly. The boots should feel tight but should not hurt your feet.

Step 4. Make sure you close all the buckles. Small coin lockers are available to store shoes and extra socks.

Step 5. Proceed to the Equipment Counter to receive your skis or snowboard. Let the technician know you are a beginner. You will be asked your height and weight so your equipment will be properly fitted to you.

Step 6. Once you receive your equipment, carry it to the Learning Center tower directly outside of the rental exit. A Snow Pro will meet you and guide you through the basics.
