1. Ski Delivery

For those with experience skiing and who know exactly what they want, Ski Delivery provides the most user-friendly platform to get what you need for a perfect day on the slopes. They have different packages available for adults and juniors, but you can also rent equipment ร  la carte.

The beauty of this company is that everything is online, and they will deliver it right to your hotel or Airbnb. Due to their dedication to the online space, they are one of the most economical options in the area. The only downside is that you need to know your sizes and be handy with website navigation, although itโ€™s very straightforward.

2. Tremblant Resort

If youโ€™re staying near town and want to investigate your equipment before committing, then head to the activity centre at the Mont Tremblant Resort. Here, youโ€™ll find friendly customer service attendants who will gladly help you find the best equipment for you.

Due to their reputation in the community, their prices are slightly higher than other ski rental places in Mont Tremblant. Each rental package comes with the bare essentials, but beware, if itโ€™s a cold or snowy day, youโ€™ll have to rent goggles separately as none of their packages includes a pair.

3. Below Zero

The Below Zero rental company is also highly recommended due to their stellar reputation around town โ€” if you get a chance to visit their store, take it! Located in the heart of town, this traditional design will immediately put you in the mood to ski and maybe even inspire you to try another activity, for which you could rent equipment right then and there as well. 

Their helpful staff and affordable prices are a sure sign that these people are passionate about skiing and are working to grow the sport. You can also book online through their website, and if you plan to rent for multiple days, youโ€™ll be rewarded with a discount.

4. Max Ski Service

Another quaint and quintessential shop located in town where youโ€™ll experience a healthy dose of Canadian pleasantry. The packages offered at Max Ski Service are simplified when compared to others on the list, but the price is more than fair.

They do offer affordable packages for advanced skiers, which sets them apart from other rental companies in the area. Their simplicity and dedication to skiing are all part of their charm, so if youโ€™re looking for the easiest access to ski equipment, this might be the best match for you.

What Kind of Skis Should You Rent?

If you ski for recreational purposes on a sporadic schedule, I highly recommend renting all-mountain skis. These are perfect for beginner and intermediate skiers, as they can handle a variety of terrain and conditions. Plus, they’re comfortable and easy to maneuver, which means you’ll have more fun on the slopes.

It’s first off a great way to find out what there is to do, but always a quick and easy method to book cheaply and efficiently with these renowned platforms.

Need a place to sleep? I find most of my accommodations on Booking.com but I also use Hotels.com for their rewards program (11th free night) as well as Expedia. When booking smaller places in Quebec, you might not find them here and need to contact them directly.

Looking for a cheap flight to the Laurentians through Montreal? Have a look on Cheapoair or Skyscanner I use regularly.
