Tired of Season Rental Chaos? Try Buying Used Kids’ Ski Gear Instead

We get it—renting kids’ ski gear each season might seem like the easy choice. But costs add up fast, especially when you have more than one young skier in the family. That’s why we believe that buying kids’ ski gear offers families the best value in the long run.

At Lone Pine, our quality used kid ski gear selection lets families get into a ski package for equal to or less than a season rental price, and the gear you own retains value. Owning your kids’ gear means it can be passed down to siblings, traded in when they need a size up, or even put on consignment here in our shop when a growth spurt hits.

Safety You Can Count On

When you buy from Lone Pine, you have the option to add a binding safety function test for $15. Our in-store Wintersteiger machine calibrates bindings to your child’s exact skier profile—height, weight, age, skier type, and boot sole length—something you won’t get with rentals. Rental shops are only required to test a portion of their fleet, so owning gear that’s individually tested brings peace of mind when your kids are out on the mountain.

Confidence on the Slopes

Beyond safety and savings, there’s something special about kids getting to pick out their own skis. They’ll feel more confident in equipment that’s truly theirs, and this familiarity makes all the difference on the slopes. When kids know and love their gear, they ski better and feel ready for whatever the mountain has in store.
