About Basin Sports
Basin Sports is Killington's premier ski rental and demo centre, sitting on the Access Road at 2886 Killington Road with the largest demo fleet in town. The shop has earned a SKI Magazine Gold Medal nine years running and has twice been named the best ski shop in New England — accolades that reflect the depth of their equipment selection and the expertise of their fitting staff. Whether you are renting a standard package or testing the latest all-mountain, carving, powder, or women's-specific demo models, every pair of skis leaves the shop freshly tuned and ready for Killington's varied terrain.
Their demo programme is one of the most popular in Vermont: pick up a set of high-performance skis or boards in the morning, ski all day, and get one full day's demo fee credited toward a purchase if you decide to buy. Technicians handle custom boot fitting, binding calibration, and overnight tuning, ensuring your gear performs at its best from first chair to last. The shop opens at 7:15 a.m. on weekends and stays open until 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, giving early risers and late arrivals plenty of time to get fitted.
Located roughly two miles up the Killington Access Road, Basin Sports is close enough to the lifts for a quick mid-day equipment swap yet far enough from the base area to avoid resort-village pricing. Their knowledgeable staff — reachable at (802) 422-3234 — can match you with the right ski based on your ability, the day's conditions, and the terrain you plan to explore. For skiers who want to demo before committing to a purchase, Basin Sports remains the definitive stop in the Killington corridor.
