If equipment rental and/or discount lift tickets are on your list then we have some info on this site that may help you choose your best options and sources. We will make our best effort to show you the estimated cost associated with the options that sound the best (based on 2012 rates).

Maybe a city shop is best? If you are seeking the best value available you should consider stopping at a city shop in Salt Lake City on your way up to the Park City Area. A quick stop for equipment and discount lift tickets can save hundreds of dollars and not be much out of your way at all. AJ Motion Sports has three locations and the Millcreek/Salt Lake City location is en-route to Park City. They have much newer equipment than most shops, a lot of demo skis, and better deals on goggles, helmets, and accessories than you would typically find in the Park City area. AJ Motion could even organize delivery or transport of the equipment you rented if your rental car or transportation solution can’t accommodate the equipment you get set up with. Here is what a typical 4-day rental package for four adult beginners plus lift tickets could cost on the low end when you reserve online and save 30%. This would include skis, boots, and poles plus a full-day lift ticket for four days to Park City Mountain Resort. No lesson or clothing included. Rental Package $15.40 per day (4), per person (4) = $246.40 Rental Package using demo skis instead only $30.10 per day = $481.60 Park City Mountain Resort Discount Lift Tickets $74 per day (regular $97) = $1184 (for 16 tickets)

You’d rather rent in the Park City area? Discount lift tickets for Park City area resorts are only available at city shops in Salt Lake and are not sold in Park City, but if you’d rather rent closer to your accommodations and already have a solution for lift tickets we recommend Aloha Ski and Board for Park City Mountain Resort and the Canyons Resort. We recommend Stein Sports for Deer Valley. Aloha has multiple locations to access and offers some of the best local rates on equipment. Here is how the cost might shake out for both Aloha and Stein Sports. Here is what a typical 4-day rental package for four adult beginners plus lift tickets could cost on the low end. This would include skis, boots, and poles plus a full-day lift ticket for four days to Park City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley Resort for Stein Sports. No lesson or clothing included. At Aloha Ski Rentals Rental Package $23 per day (4), per person (4) = $368 Rental Package using demo skis instead only $47 per day = $752 Park City Mountain Resort Discount Lift Tickets at regular $97 cost = $1552 (for 16 tickets) At Stein Sports in Deer Valley Rental Package $42 per day (4), per person (4) = $672 Rental Package using demo skis instead only $72 per day = $1152 Park City Mountain Resort Discount Lift Tickets at regular $96 cost = $1536 (for 16 tickets)

Have you thought about delivery?The easiest way to have a stress free Utah Ski Vacation is the have your rental equipment delivered by AJ Motion Sports. Get to Salt Lake, arrive at your lodging of choice, and let the relaxation begin. A quality ski delivery service will bring your equipment to you at your leisure. Avoid waiting in line at ski shops and avoid rushing after a late flight to find the ski shop just closed. A quality delivery service will alter plans and deliver late night or early morning to make sure you are ready to go when the lifts open. Delivery doesn't need to be expensive. Some shops will deliver to your lodging in Park City at a rate comparable or better then renting at a resort. To insure your delivery goes smoothy make sure each skier's information is properly communicated to your delivery service. The skiers height, weight, and shoe size need to be as accurate as possible. If you prefer your rental equipment being delivered and fit in the comfort of your own accommodations you can expect a rate spread similar to pick-up: AJ Motion Sports (please note – can’t deliver discount lift tickets, these can only be picked up in-store) Beginner package - $24 per day Demo package - $47 per day Aloha Ski & Board Rentals Beginner package – $50 per day Demo package – $60 per day Another option would a delivery-only company that doesn’t have an actual store or offer discount lift tickets. There are several and their rates are usually around these below. Beginner package – $40 per day Demo package – $60 per day
