About

Base Mountain Sports rents skis and snowboards from 520 East Lionshead Circle in Lionshead, with a clear price structure: book online and you pay noticeably less than the walk-in rate. It is one of several Base Mountain shops in Avon, Beaver Creek and Breckenridge, part of the family-owned R&R Sports Colorado group.

It suits families and groups staying in Lionshead who want to sort everyone's gear in advance, and skiers who would rather have skis brought to their lodging. The Vail shop is a winter operation and closes between seasons.

Packages

Ski packages include skis, boots, poles and bindings; snowboard packages include board, boots and bindings. Silver covers beginners to aspiring intermediates, Gold is high-performance demo equipment, and Junior packages cover shaped skis and boards from 50 to 140 cm. Helmets rent separately. Bring your own boots and the shop adjusts the price.

Pickup, exchanges and storage

You can collect gear after 3 p.m. the day before your first ski day without paying for that day, which avoids the morning rush. Unhappy with your equipment? Exchanges are unlimited, and any Base Mountain shop will store your gear overnight for free.

Delivery in Vail

Base Mountain also delivers and fits rentals at your lodging across Vail Village, Lionshead, Golden Peak, Cascade and East and West Vail. Delivery packages are priced separately and online discounts do not apply to them.

Sister shops

R&R Sports Colorado also runs the Covered Bridge Store and Generation Vail on Bridge Street. Christy Sports shares the same Lionshead street address.
