The Lion at Vail Ski Shop

Our ski rental shop in The Lion in Vail’s Lionshead Village offers a convenient location to the Eagle Bahn Gondola with ski valet service and storage, to get guests on and off the mountain with zero hassle.

We have a legendary commitment to customer service and all new skis every year in our demo ski rental fleet. Every pair of skis is tuned nightly so you are guaranteed the best in performance.

The ski runs are just a quick, five-minute walk in your ski boots—perfect for warming up your legs. Or, you can take advantage of our complimentary ski toboggan service, which will shuttle you and your skis to the lift and pick them up at the end of the day.
