About Christy Sports Vail
Christy Sports operates two convenient locations in the Vail Valley — one on Bridge Street in Vail Village and another in Lionshead — each offering a deep selection of ski and snowboard gear for daily rental and demo. As a Colorado-based chain with decades of experience across the state's major ski resorts, Christy Sports brings the inventory depth and operational consistency of a large retailer while maintaining knowledgeable local staff at each location who understand the specific terrain and conditions at Vail.
The recently remodelled Vail Village store sits just steps from Gondola One and provides full-service tuning, repairs, and expert fitting. The Lionshead location offers identical services near the Eagle Bahn Gondola, making it convenient for guests staying on that side of the resort. Rental packages span sport, performance, and premium demo tiers for both skis and snowboards, with equipment sourced from leading brands and maintained to Christy Sports' standardised quality benchmarks. Junior packages ensure younger skiers and riders are properly outfitted with age-appropriate equipment.
Online pre-booking through the Christy Sports website often brings meaningful discounts compared to walk-in rates, and reservation systems guarantee your preferred equipment size and tier will be waiting when you arrive. The Vail Village store also provides summer bike rentals, reflecting the resort's year-round appeal as a mountain biking and hiking destination. Full-service tuning and repair workshops at both locations handle edge sharpening, base repairs, and binding calibration for both rental and customer-owned equipment. For visitors who want the reliability and selection of an established Colorado chain with the convenience of two strategically placed Vail Valley locations, Christy Sports is a safe and solid choice.
