About Base Mountain Sports
Base Mountain Sports operates from Lionshead Village just steps from the lifts, offering a full range of ski and snowboard rentals with the convenience of gear delivery straight to your door anywhere in the Vail Valley. They also have locations at several other Colorado resorts, and online booking unlocks a 20 percent discount on all rental packages. The delivery service is a standout feature — rather than hauling gear through the village, you can have your fitted rental package waiting at your hotel, condo, or vacation rental when you arrive.
The Vail shop sits within easy walking distance of the Eagle Bahn Gondola in Lionshead, which gives walk-in customers the same slopeside convenience as any other village shop. But the delivery option opens the door for visitors staying in West Vail, East Vail, Minturn, or any of the surrounding communities that sit outside the pedestrian village core. A technician brings the gear to your accommodation, handles the fitting on-site, and picks everything up at the end of your trip — eliminating the need to carry equipment or make an extra trip to town. For families with young kids or groups juggling multiple schedules, this kind of door-to-door service removes a real logistical headache from the vacation equation.
The rental fleet spans entry-level sport packages through high-performance demo options, with ski and snowboard equipment from leading manufacturers kept in top condition through regular tuning and maintenance. Junior packages cover a wide range of ages and sizes, and the 20 percent online booking discount applies across all tiers, making pre-trip planning genuinely worthwhile. Base Mountain Sports also operates locations at Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, and Copper Mountain, which means multi-resort visitors can coordinate rentals across multiple stops on a single Colorado ski trip. Expert boot fitting is standard with every rental, and the staff are available throughout your stay for adjustments or equipment swaps if snow conditions change or you want to try something different. For visitors who prioritise convenience and flexibility, Base Mountain Sports combines village-centre access with a delivery model that most independent shops simply do not offer.
