South Tahoe: Ski rental delivery with in-room fitting

Summary

No lines, just snow—ski rental delivered to your door in Tahoe

You’ll skip crowded rental shops in South Tahoe and get fitted for skis or snowboards right at your hotel or condo. Local techs bring all the gear, answer questions, and handle adjustments—even slope-side if needed. With easy pickup at the end of your trip, you’ll spend more time on the mountain and less time waiting around—something you’ll remember long after you leave Tahoe.

What’s the experience like?

I didn’t realize how much I’d appreciate skipping the usual ski rental chaos until we got to South Tahoe. We’d just arrived, bags everywhere, and honestly I was already dreading that first-day shuffle—standing in line, boots that never fit right, everyone a bit cranky from travel. Instead, this guy Mike showed up at our condo right on time (he texted first—nice touch), arms full of gear. He set everything up in the living room while we were still peeling off jackets. The smell of pine drifted through the window and it felt like we were already halfway to the slopes.

Mike asked about our plans—Heavenly or Kirkwood?—and started matching us with skis and boots like he’d done it a thousand times (probably has). He had me try on two pairs because my feet are weirdly shaped (his words, not mine—but he grinned). My partner tried to ask something about bindings and Mike explained it without making us feel dumb. There was this moment where my daughter tried on her helmet backwards and everyone cracked up—including Mike. It was just…easy. No fluorescent lights or cold rental shop floors.

The next morning we rolled out early for Heavenly, no stress about opening hours or missing breakfast. The gear felt solid—no weird squeaks or pressure points—and when my son’s boot buckle popped loose later that day, we called the number Mike gave us. Someone met us by the lift in maybe fifteen minutes? I still think about how smooth that was compared to past trips where you’re stuck clomping back down to town for help. At the end of our stay, another tech swung by for pickup; we barely had to do anything except leave the gear by the door.
