About Alpine Sun Ski & Sport
Alpine Sun Ski & Sport holds the distinction of being the oldest family-owned ski shop in Winter Park, located in Old Town on Winter Park Drive just a third of a mile from the resort base. The shop has built a loyal following over decades by sticking to a simple formula: friendly service, well-maintained rental gear, and prices that undercut the big-name chains. Walk-ins are welcome and fittings are fast, but the real draw is the personal attention — staff take the time to match each renter with the right package for their ability and the day's conditions.
Rental options span beginner through advanced ski packages, snowboard setups, and junior gear for kids, all maintained by the shop's own technicians who handle waxing, edge tuning, and minor repairs on-site. Custom boot fitting ensures a comfortable, performance-oriented fit without the premium price tag you might pay at a resort-operated shop. Because the inventory is curated rather than massive, the fitting process tends to be quicker and more personalised than at higher-volume competitors down the road.
Alpine Sun's walkable proximity to the resort base means you can pick up gear in the morning and be on the slopes within minutes, and the shop's spot on the free shuttle route makes drop-off just as easy at the end of the day. Locals who have been renting here for years appreciate the consistency and the lack of hard-sell upselling, while first-time visitors often discover the shop through word-of-mouth recommendations from Winter Park regulars. For a straightforward, no-frills rental experience backed by decades of mountain expertise, Alpine Sun remains a Winter Park institution.
