Best place to rent skis for Mt Snow

[ksampson3]

I'm looking for recommendations on where to rent skis for Mt Snow for a weekday. I looked at the map of the road that leads to Mt Snow and it looks like there are at least ten ski shops to rent from within a couple of miles of the hill. (I was surprised to see that most of them advertise "Open until midnight on Fridays." I've never seen that before.) I'm looking for a place that would have a decent selection of advanced demo skis to rent - not looking for the $25 cheapo rental place.

Thanks much

Probably World Class,

Race and Technical oriented, but call ahead and discuss the options.

I've not rented skis from them, have no skin in the game,

Their demo center is quite good with tons of choices. $60 for all day long, as many skis as you want. Right in the cape house by the base lodge.

surfsnowgirl,
Not being familiar with Mt Snow at all, is World Class part of the Mt Snow complex, or do you have to leave the resort to go swap out skis? From Google maps, it looks like they're across the street from the resort? I love the option of demoing a bunch of different skis during the day; however, I wouldn't do this unless they were located right at the base of mountain.

World Class is NOT at the base area. It would be a pain to swap skis there.

The Performance demo at the Cape House Is the best option for what you want. Good selection, and good techs!
IIRC, you might need to purchase the rental with your lift ticket.

Look on the Mt Snow Web pages for phone numbers etc. CALL AHEAD!

Demos are right at base of mountain. Talk to Karl. You can't reserve a demo but you can find out what they have
