Ability Guide
When filling out your rental form, all skiers will be asked to classify their ability type. Skier type, height, weight, age and ski boot sole length are used by the shop to determine the release/retention settings of ski bindings. Be sure to provide accurate information, as any error may increase your risk of injury. Please note that helmets are required if using our terrain park features.
