If your skis are less than 85mm at the waist, you should seriously consider renting a pair of powder skis, as they will float you over the snow and make your experience less strenuous and more enjoyable.  While our skis are fatter, they are shaped and weighted to perform well off-piste in deep snow and in the trees.  If you are not an expert skier, or you aren't in great shape, you'll appreciate how easy the fat skis make skiing in deep powder, so that you enjoy your day more and don't burn out your legs as quickly, so that you can enjoy the whole day.

Ski rental is $39/day - however there is a 10% discount for multiple day rentals if you reserve at the time you make your cat skiing booking, and give us your height, weight, age, skier type, boot length (in mm, written on side of boot) in advance, so that we can get the gear organized quickly in the morning.  To book, just copy the rental form into an email and send us your info.  The skis in our rental fleet are all fairly new, if not brand new.  Have a look at the selection below, and if you have a preference, please specify, and give a second choice as well.  Poles are also available to rent for $5/day.

Interested in purchasing powder skis?  Our 2008 models are available for sale, from $200-300, depending on condition.  The 2009 models will be available after 10 March, for $250-350, including bindings.  If you rent and subsequently decide to purchase the same skis, the rental price will be deducted from the sale price.

Typically, boarders are fine on their own snowboards, though it is often helpful to set your bindings all the way back in the powder.  If you have a tiny little board, however, you might want to swap over to this big boy for a bit of surfing.  If this isn't suitable, Red Mountain Resort has a selection of snowboards, but you'll need to pick up the afternoon before your catboarding day.
