Ski packages include skis, bindings, boots, and poles

Snowboard packages include snowboard, bindings, and boots.

Items are available a la carte, though some items have conditions .

SKI BOOTS You can rent ski boots only but your skis’ bindings have to pass a binding test first. The binding test will take 20 minutes on top of the rental process and the total cost the same as a basic rental package.

SKIS You can rent skis only but the boots you bring with you must first be inspected to ensure your boots are in good condition and they are compatible with the rental ski bindings.

No, helmets are not included in ski & snowboard packages, but can be rented separately.

No we do not. Both the White Salmon and Heather Meadows rental shops
are located next to the retail shops where these items are available for
purchase.

You need to bring a photo ID, the license plate number of the vehicle you
drive to the ski area in, and a signed rental liability release form. The rental liability release form can be filled out in advance or at the ski area. In addition, you need to bring all of your own outerwear which includes but is not limited to a jacket, pants, hat, gloves, socks, and any other accessories.

At White Salmon, lift tickets must be purchased separately at the ticket window or Instruction Desk. Please consider doing this prior to renting.

Not at this time. Skis and snowboards are rented out on a first come first
served basis.

No, rental equipment can only be rented for the day it is being used and is rented out on a first come first served basis. Rental equipment must be returned before the end of rental hours each day.

We do not offer continuous multi-day rentals. You can rent for more than one day though each day is a separate rental. You must pay for one day at a time, fill out a new rental liability release agreement each day, and equipment must be returned before the end of rental hours each day.

The best way to speed up your rental process is to be as prepared as
possible. Print and fill out the Rental Liability Release Agreements for yourself and your family before driving to the mountain. In addition, purchase your lift ticket/lesson package and be dressed for the slopes prior to renting.

If you plan on renting at Mt. Baker more than once, take a note of your rental info so you can use this info again the next time. (A snapshot on your smartphone of your completed rental form once your rental technician completed it works well)
