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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Christy Sports in Lionshead?
At 520 East Lionshead Circle, near the Lionshead ticket office and Eagle Bahn Gondola, at the end of Lionshead Place. The phone number is (970) 476-5500.
Is there another Christy Sports in Vail?
Yes. Christy Sports runs two Vail stores. This one is the Lionshead store at 520 E Lionshead Cir, by the Eagle Bahn Gondola. The other is the Vail Village store at 293 Bridge Street, (970) 476-2244, a few steps from Gondola One. They have different addresses, phone numbers and hours listings, so check you are reserving at the store near where you are staying.
What are the hours?
The store's official page currently lists 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Hours change with the season and run longer in winter, so check the official store page or call (970) 476-5500 before a first-morning pickup.
How much are ski and snowboard rentals?
Adult packages per day: Sport $62.95 walk-in or $50.36 online, Premium $72.95 or $58.36, Demo $82.95 or $66.36, for both skis and snowboards. A kids' Sport ski or snowboard package is $49.95 or $39.96. Reserving at least 24 hours ahead saves 20%, skis-only and board-only options cost less, and reserved gear can be picked up from 3 p.m. the day before.
How does Kids Rent Free work?
Book an adult (18 and over) ski or snowboard package for four or more consecutive days and one child 12 and under gets a Junior Sport ski or kids' snowboard package free. It does not apply to group pricing or boots-only rentals, helmets and damage protection are not included, and blackout dates are December 21, 2026 to January 3, 2027.
Does Christy Sports deliver rentals in Vail?
No. Christy Sports offers rental delivery only in Steamboat, Telluride and Park City/Deer Valley. In Vail you collect gear at the store.
How does Try Before You Buy work?
You rent the same ski models sold in the store, and up to two days of the rental fee can be applied to buying a new ski that season. You can test multiple pairs in a single day. Skis are first come, first served and cannot be reserved.
Are season-long rentals available?
Christy Sports runs a season rental program chain-wide, but the Lionshead store's own page directs season-rental customers to the Christy Sports store in Dillon, so season rentals are not confirmed at this store. Call (970) 476-5500 before counting on a season rental in Lionshead.
Do I need an appointment for a tune?
No. Drop skis or boards off; most tuning and repair work is turned around in about 24 hours, and expedited same-day service may be available for an extra fee. Bring your boots for any binding mounting or adjustment work.
Does the store rent bikes in summer?
Yes. In summer the Lionshead store rents bikes, including path bikes, e-bikes and mountain bikes, plus kids' bikes and trailers, and it services bikes too; it also lists hike rentals.
