Ski Equipment in the United States

Downhill skiing remains one of the most popular winter activities in North America, and is gaining popularity all over the world. While snowboards may still be the ride of choice for young sliders, skiers are still holding their own and can even enjoy the best of both worlds if they snowboard too. The United States is a great place for skiing and we can help you get started.

Make the most of your first time skiing by arranging for lessons. Many resorts also offer inexpensive introductory packages which include rentals and lift passes. There are a variety of lessons available at most ski hills for kids or adults, for everything from novice to advanced skier. Check out our listings for special instruction events for women and men.

Ski boots are quite different from snowboard boots, but like snowboard boots, are available in a variety of styles and brands. Many come as part of a matched set with the bindings while others may be unique to the rider themselves. Like all equipment, proper fit will ensure a safe day's ski as well as the warmth and comfort offered by the latest fabrics.
