Experience
Venture Sports is honored to be the exclusive ski rental service to the Lion. We have a legendary commitment to customer service and all new skis every year in our demo ski rental fleet. Each and every pair of skis is tuned nightly so you are guaranteed the best in performance.

Our ski valet will carry your skis to the lift for you and pick them up at the end of the day. We take care of the rest and make sure all your gear is ready to go for you the next morning – Boots dry and skis tuned to perfection.All rental skis and snowboards are tuned and waxed before every single rental
