About Charter Sports
Charter Sports has been locally owned and operated since 1988, running four rental locations across Vail including the Marriott Streamside, Highline DoubleTree, and two Lion Square Lodge shops in Lionshead. Their five-star personalised service includes expert fitting and 30 percent online booking discounts on ski and snowboard rental packages from brands like Atomic, Blizzard, and Nordica. With nearly four decades of experience in the Vail Valley, Charter Sports has refined the multi-location rental model to offer genuine convenience without sacrificing service quality.
The four-location strategy is a real advantage for visitors staying at different properties around Vail. Rather than trekking across the village with ski boots in hand, you can pick up and return gear at whichever Charter Sports shop is closest to your accommodation. The two Lion Square Lodge locations serve guests staying in the Lionshead area, while the Marriott Streamside and Highline DoubleTree shops cater to the broader east and west Vail corridor. Each location maintains the same rental fleet and pricing, so you get a consistent experience regardless of which shop you visit. Staff at all four shops are trained to the same fitting standards, and equipment swaps between locations are handled without hassle if conditions or preferences change mid-trip.
The rental fleet covers the full spectrum from beginner sport packages to advanced performance setups, with brands like Atomic, Blizzard, and Nordica forming the backbone of the ski selection. Snowboard packages are equally well-stocked, and junior equipment is available in sizes that accommodate growing kids without parents having to pay adult rates. The 30 percent online booking discount is one of the more aggressive pre-booking offers in the Vail Valley, and reservations guarantee equipment availability during peak holiday periods when walk-in shops can run low on popular sizes. For families and groups who want reliable, locally owned service with the flexibility of multiple pickup and drop-off points across the resort, Charter Sports offers a convenience factor that single-location shops simply cannot match.
