The Ski Barn

"It was our first time skiing/snowboarding @ Wintergreen, this past weekend. We were told to use Ski Barn to rent boards, skis, boots and helmets. Arriving at the store about 5:30p on a Friday was probably not the wisest, I’d have thought. But I was wrong…The place was slammed but it took less than 20 min, total (remember to reserve on their site before you arrive and it will charge you I think $10 to hold your reservation while having all your details/sizes). The girl behind the counter (Kristy or Christy) was absolutely busting it. She had a young helper named Austin, who was learning from her and he was super helpful. They just both knew exactly what you needed for our equipment, and had great suggestions. Both of them (especially Kristy/Christy) were handling multiple customers and never once did any of us feel neglected, rather just the opposite. Truly the best experience renting ski/snowboard equipment we have ever been a part of, full-stop. When we used to go to Beech, Sugar or Appalachian mountains, the shops/on-site options just don’t have the capability that Ski Barn has, and it’s the people who make this difference, IMO. Also, the gear is so much better than any we have ever rented. On Sunday morning, about 9am, we came back through to return the stuff. It was even busier than Friday night at 5p, and it took about 5 minutes to complete the return. Jonathan was behind the counter (handling incoming and returns) and made the whole process so seamless. And Kristy/Christy was back there just crushing it again! We are heading back up there in two more weekends and had plans to rent from a shop near our house, but now we are never not using Ski Barn. Unreal shop!"

"Always a pleasure doing business w/this Ski Barn. The manager lady is always fabulous, efficient and so knowledgeable. They have any ski item you need on the mountain and the prices are always fair."

"Obsessed with Ski Barn! I recently bought new boots for my son. He had specific requirements for racing. They brought several pairs from a sister store for him to try. The quickly snd efficiently mounted bindings to skis. And I have been in and out getting misc things for the kids including gloves, sweatshirts, hats, etc. the people are so friendly and helpful and now recognize me when I come in!"

"The staff gave a great beginner overview of ski rental equipment. One of my ski bindings ended up needing adjustment for some reason the next day and they were nice enough to credit me for my trouble. Appreciated the flexibility to pickup the night before and return the morning after you're skiing."

"Just picked up season rentals for my son. The incredibly helpful and friendly staff spent so much time making sure everything fit him perfectly. Highly recommend whether you are renting for the season or a session. Can't beat the ease of parking right in front of the door!"
