If you rent your gear from Boreal you receive free all-day ski and board check service. Accessory lockers are available to store your shoes or clothing for two dollars. After you have been fitted properly you can exit the rental shop right to the base of the mountain and meet your ski or board instructor at the Ski/Board School Meeting Area. You are now ready for your first ride.
