Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Ski Vacation
• Ski Equipment
• Skis

1. When you plan your vacation, ask the tour company if your package includes ski rentals or if they have a partnership with a local company that offers discounts on ski equipment.

2. If you are going without a tour company or there are no options available for you, consider the idea of waiting until you get to the resort to start looking for equipment. This is more of a gamble, but you might find some great deals asking around.

3. Get a discount at the local ski rental stores by being an AAA member. This membership gives great discounts not only at the resorts but also with your equipment. When you talk to the resorts and equipment rental companies let them know you are a member.

4. Call the Chamber of Commerce or visitors center for the town you will be visiting and ask if there are any rental shops that offer discounts for visitors. These institutions usually work with locals to have a discounted, unpublished rate to share with individuals.
