About Perisher Ski Resort Rentals
Perisher Ski Resort Rentals is the official resort-operated rental service run by Vail Resorts, which acquired Perisher as part of its Epic Pass network. As the largest ski resort in the Southern Hemisphere, Perisher processes thousands of rental bookings every winter, and their in-house rental operation is designed for maximum efficiency. Multiple pickup locations across the resort — including Perisher Valley, Smiggin Holes, and Blue Cow — mean guests can collect gear wherever is most convenient for their accommodation or preferred skiing zone.
The rental fleet is enormous, covering beginner through expert ski and snowboard setups with modern equipment refreshed annually. Online pre-booking through the Perisher website is strongly encouraged and often comes with discounted rates compared to walk-up pricing. Packages include skis or board, boots, and poles, with optional add-ons for helmets and outerwear. Group rates for school excursions and corporate events are a major part of their business, given Perisher's popularity with Sydney-based organisations looking for team-building snow trips.
The main advantage of renting directly from the resort is integration — lift tickets, lessons, and rentals can be bundled into a single booking, often at a package discount. The trade-off is that peak-season queues can be longer than independent shops, but off-peak and midweek visits are smooth and fast. For first-time skiers who want the simplicity of a one-stop resort experience, Perisher's official rental service is hard to beat.
