Planning your ski trip? We’ve made choosing your rental gear easier with this guide to common ski rental packages – ours included. Don’t worry about getting it perfect months ahead of time – pick the package that sounds about right for your current skill level, and you can usually fine-tune everything when you arrive (this is definitely the case with Park City Sport). Just keep in mind that Demo packages can sell out during busy holiday periods, so if you think you might want premium gear, it’s worth reserving it early.
Here’s what each ski rental package offers:
Sport Package – Your Confidence Builder
Perfect for: Brand new skiers or anyone still mastering the basics (think pizza wedge turns!)
What you get: Wider, forgiving skis with a stable platform that’s less sensitive to edge movement. These are like training wheels for your feet—they help you stay upright while you’re learning and won’t punish small mistakes.
Why you’ll love it: No surprises! These skis are intentionally less reactive, so you can focus on building balance and control instead of fighting your equipment. Think versatile, fun, and easy to handle.
Performance Package – Ready to Cruise
Perfect for: You can link S-turns down a green run without breaking a sweat and you’re ready to explore more terrain.
What you get: Skis with a narrower waist and more aggressive sidecut that actually help you initiate and hold turns with precision. They’re more responsive and give you better control at moderate to higher speeds.
Why you’ll love it: These skis respond to your movements more precisely, allowing for smoother transitions and facilitating the progression of intuitive carving and easy pivoting.
Demo Package – The Premium Experience
Perfect for: Strong skiers who want the best gear, or anyone curious about trying before buying.
What you get: Top-shelf skis that are more stable at higher speeds and provide superior edge hold on hard snow. You’ll have options for quick turning, fast cruising, or wider waist skis depending on your style. There are many options for high intermediates and experienced skiers.
Why you’ll love it: This is the difference between driving a sedan and a sports car. You’ll feel the higher-quality ride in every turn, especially when pushing your limits on challenging terrain.
Junior Package – Sized Just Right
Perfect for: Kids and young skiers who need gear that matches their size and strength.
What you get: Shorter, lighter skis that are much easier for smaller bodies to control and turn.
Why it matters: Kids aren’t just small adults—they need equipment designed for how they move and learn. These skis make the mountain more fun and less frustrating.
What’s Included in Every Ski Rental Package with Park City Sport
The complete setup: Every one of our Park City Ski rental packages includes skis, boots, bindings, and poles—everything you need to get on the mountain. Helmets are available, and recommended, as an add-on for safety. You can also add damage protection to ski rental packages so that you don’t have to worry about those occasional “oops” moments on or off the slopes.
No boot upgrades needed: Unlike some shops, Park City Sport won’t make you pay more for better boots. Every rental gets access to our full selection of boot brands (including Nordica, Lange, Salomon, Head, and Dalbello) with different models across brands. This is because we know how important your rental boots are to your day – so whether you are in an Sport or Demo Package – we will always take great care of you.
Real boot fitting: You’ll get a proper fitting session with high-quality ski boots, not just whatever happens to be on the shelf or in your shoe size. Well fitting boots make a huge difference in your day on the mountain!
