Are You New?

Buena Vista wants you to
LOVE
skiing or snowboarding.
But maybe you are new to this whole "down hill" experience?
Maybe you want to try both sports to see which one you like best.
Or maybe buying unfamiliar equipment seems daunting.
Perhaps your youngster is going to be needing different sized equipment every year while she is still growing.
Or maybe your kid is growing so fast you're worried that his shoes aren't going to fit him next month!
Perhaps this just isn't the best time for you to invest in personal snow gear...
Then take advantage of our
FIRST TIMER SPECIAL!
This is a season-long, unlimited rental agreement that gives you the option of trying skis one day and a snowboard the next.
Figure out what you like about down hill sports and the required gear.
Grow all you want to! Our rental shop always has the next biggest size.
Make things easy for your pocketbook until you are ready to invest in your sport.
It makes sense.
You just want fun...without the hassle.
You got it!
This offer is available to persons that have never been a member of Buena Vista Ski Area or who have not been members in 3 or more years.

New Rental Skis

The Rental Shop has been gutted and a completely new system is being installed. Not only will the skis on the racks be our brand new Elan skis, the actual racks will be new as well! The way people receive their equipment will be different: No more up a ramp and then down the steps. Individual stations are being designed to help our guests move through rentals faster. One of these stations will be devoted to snowboards.
Kirby, BV's Rental Shop manager, is excited about our new equipment, the new stations-type floor plan, and the degree to which these changes will help us serve our guests better. Stop by the Rental Shop on our Open House Day (Saturday, November 14, 2009) to see the new equipment and the renovation-in-progress. A huge Thank You! to Kirby and all the Friends of Buena Vista that have committed themselves to making these upgrades possible.
