About Footloose Sports
Footloose Sports on Main Street is one of Mammoth Lakes' longest-running outdoor shops, offering a full ski and snowboard rental fleet that's regularly tuned and maintained to high standards. In summer the shop pivots to bike rentals and paddleboards, while their expert boot fitters and ski technicians keep locals and visitors coming back season after season.
The ski and snowboard rental selection covers everything from beginner sport packages to high-performance demo skis for advanced riders looking to push their limits on Mammoth Mountain's steeper terrain. Seasonal rental programs are available for locals and extended-stay visitors who want a dedicated setup for the full winter without paying daily rates. Footloose's boot fitting department is one of the more respected in town, with technicians who take the time to assess foot shape, stance width, and flex preference rather than rushing through a queue. The difference shows up on the mountain — a properly fitted boot transforms the experience, especially for intermediate skiers making the jump to more demanding runs.
When the snow melts, Footloose transitions seamlessly into a summer outfitter. Their mountain bike fleet serves the trail network around Mammoth, including the Mammoth Mountain Bike Park and popular routes like the Shady Rest loop and the Inyo Craters singletrack. Paddleboards are available for exploring the chain of lakes surrounding the town — Lake Mary, Twin Lakes, and Horseshoe Lake all sit within a short drive. The shop also stocks backcountry skiing gear for spring touring season, when Mammoth's upper elevations hold snow well into June. With decades of institutional knowledge about conditions, terrain, and gear, Footloose Sports remains one of the more trustworthy stops on Main Street for visitors who want honest advice and well-maintained equipment.
