About Mountainside Sports
Mountainside Sports is a locally owned ski and snowboard rental shop on Mountain Road in Collingwood, sitting just a kilometre from Blue Mountain Resort. Its position on the main route to the hill makes it a popular pre-slope stop for families and groups who want quality gear without paying resort-village prices.
The shop outfits skiers and riders of every level, from beginner-friendly packages to premium and demo setups from brands like Salomon and Elan. Rentals include skis, snowboards, boots, poles, and helmets, and the team offers seasonal rental programs that are ideal for kids who outgrow gear each winter. On-site tuning, waxing, and boot fitting round out the service so guests can fine-tune their equipment before heading up.
Regulars praise Mountainside for its friendly, unhurried service and fair pricing — the staff take time to match ability to equipment rather than pushing the most expensive package. With easy parking, quick turnaround, and a spot right on the Blue Mountain approach, it has built a steady reputation as a dependable alternative to slopeside rental counters.
