About
Christy Sports' Lionshead store sits steps from the Lionshead ticket office and the Eagle Bahn Gondola, at the end of Lionshead Place. It rents, sells and services skis and snowboards in winter and switches to bikes in summer, so the same counter serves a family's first ski morning and a summer ride.
It suits Lionshead guests who want gear fitted close to the lift, families with children 12 and under, and skiers thinking about buying their own setup. It is one of two Christy Sports stores in Vail; the other is the Bridge Street store in Vail Village.
Ski and snowboard rentals
Daily packages run from beginner-friendly and sport levels through premium and demo, with skis-only or board-only options if you bring your own boots. Book at least 24 hours ahead to pay the lower online rate, and collect gear from 3 p.m. the day before your first day. With Kids Rent Free, a child's package is free alongside a qualifying adult rental of four days or more.
Try before you buy
The Try Before You Buy program rents the same ski models the store sells, and up to two days of rental fees can go toward buying a new pair that season. These skis are first come, first served and cannot be reserved.
Boots, tuning and repairs
Custom boot fitting is available in store. Ski and snowboard tuning and repairs need no appointment, with a target turnaround of about 24 hours; same-day service may be possible for an extra fee.
Summer bikes
In summer the store rents path bikes, e-bikes, full-suspension and demo mountain bikes, kids' bikes and trailers, all with a helmet, and services bikes too.
