About

Vail Sports – Ritz Carlton is a Vail Resorts ski and snowboard shop at The Ritz-Carlton Club, Vail, 728 West Lionshead Circle, on the western side of Lionshead. For anyone staying at that end of Lionshead it puts rentals close to the door, so the morning carry is short.

It suits Ritz-Carlton Club guests and others lodging in west Lionshead. Vail Sports lists it publicly with its other shops rather than as a guest-only service. It is a seasonal shop: Vail Sports names Vail 21 as its year-round location, so outside the ski season call before you go.

Renting here

Rentals booked online in advance cost less than walk-in rates, and Epic Pass holders get a further discount through Epic Mountain Rewards; the FAQ has the percentages. When you book, confirm this shop as your pickup point.

Fitting, tuning and demos

Vail Sports is the rental and retail brand of Vail Resorts. Across its shops it offers Superior Fit custom boot fitting, tuning with overnight turnaround at most locations, a Try Before You Buy demo program that credits rental days toward new gear, and a Jr. Trade program for children's equipment.

Other Vail Sports shops in Lionshead

Vail 21 on East Lionshead Circle is the company's year-round shop and carries the broadest selection, and there is another Vail Sports shop at the Arrabelle near the Eagle Bahn Gondola. On the mountain, Eagle's Nest has a shop at the top of the gondola.

At The Ritz-Carlton Club

The shop shares its address with The Ritz-Carlton Club, Vail, a residence club of two- to four-bedroom units. Recovery Lab Vail, a recovery studio with an oxygen bar, IV drips and compression boots, is also inside the Club if your legs need help after the ski day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Vail Sports - Ritz Carlton?
Inside The Ritz-Carlton Club, Vail, at 728 West Lionshead Circle, Vail, CO 81657, on the western side of Lionshead Village, the Eagle Bahn Gondola side of town. It is the Vail Sports shop in the Club's building, a short walk from west-Lionshead lodging.
Is this the ski shop at The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch?
No. This is the Vail shop, in Lionshead Village in Vail. The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch, over by Beaver Creek, has a different shop, Beaver Creek Sports - Ritz Carlton, phone (970) 748-6880. The two are both run by Vail Resorts but sit in different towns under different names; make sure the address on your rental booking says 728 West Lionshead Circle, Vail, if this is the shop you want.
What is the phone number for Vail Sports - Ritz Carlton?
(970) 476-4615. Email is [email protected]. Do not confuse it with the Ritz-Carlton Club's own front-desk number or with Beaver Creek Sports at Bachelor Gulch, (970) 748-6880.
Is Vail Sports - Ritz Carlton open now?
It is a seasonal shop and closes between seasons. Google showed it as temporarily closed in late October 2026, ahead of the winter season. Vail Sports' year-round Vail location is Vail 21 (492 East Lionshead Circle, (970) 476-3600). Outside the ski season, call (970) 476-4615 before you go.
What are the hours?
Vail Sports does not publish this shop's hours on its store page or on vail.com, so call (970) 476-4615 or email [email protected] for the current schedule. Hours run with the ski season, and the shop is closed between seasons.
How much do rentals cost, and is it cheaper to book ahead?
Yes, booking ahead is cheaper. Booking ski and snowboard rentals online in advance through Epic Mountain Rentals saves up to 20%, and Epic Pass holders save an extra 20% with Epic Mountain Rewards. The shop does not publish a store price list; its store page notes the best prices are found in store, and rates vary by package (sport, performance, demo) and date. When you book online, select this Lionshead shop as your pickup point.
Do I have to stay at The Ritz-Carlton Club to rent here?
No. Vail Sports lists this shop publicly with all its other Vail locations, and anyone can rent or shop there. It is simply the convenient door if you are staying at the Club or elsewhere in west Lionshead.
Can I get my rental gear delivered instead?
Yes. Vail Sports offers rental delivery in Vail: book through Epic Mountain Rentals and the team brings the fitted gear to where you are staying. You can also pick up at the shop if you are near west Lionshead.
Can I get boots fitted or skis tuned at this shop?
Vail Sports runs Superior Fit custom boot fitting (a foot assessment, boot modification, and adjustments during your trip) and ski and snowboard tuning, with overnight turnaround at most locations and pick-up and drop-off at any Vail Sports location. Ask this shop at (970) 476-4615 what it handles on site and what it routes to a sister shop.
Can I demo gear before buying, and what is Jr. Trade?
Both are Vail Sports programs. Under Try Before You Buy you can demo the latest skis or boards and credit up to two days of the rental price toward new full-price gear at any Vail Sports location. Jr. Trade outfits children with new gear starting at $279.99; each year you trade up and receive 50% of the original purchase price toward the next size.
