What makes it 80% Couple-Friendly: Two adults can book a joint boot-fit slot, hire matching high-end gear and get it delivered to their hotel, but the venue is a retail shop, so ambience for romance is limited.
Why 1–2 hours visit duration is ideal for couple trip: Couples can get fitted, choose gear and arrange delivery without rush.
Boot Fitting Appointment:
Reserve a one-hour session for precise boot fitting together.
Tip: Arrive 10 minutes early and bring your ski socks.
Rent Ski & Snowboard Gear:
Pick a mid-range or performance set with helmet and poles.
Tip: Book online for best availability and select gear by skill level.
Arrange Hotel Delivery & Pickup:
Get your equipment delivered to and collected from your hotel at no extra cost.
Tip: Confirm your hotel name and check delivery windows when booking.
End-of-Day Tune-Up:
Drop off your skis or board after skiing for a free overnight tune.
Tip: Return gear before 5 pm to have it ready for the next morning.
Browse Winter Retail:
Explore jackets, pants, goggles and accessories in-store.
Tip: Try on layers over your base clothing for the best fit.

We borrowed ski equipment from Browns in September 2025. All staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. Special shout out to EJ and Liv. Family of four, great prices. Staff were also great with the kids. Super close to bus stop so we could collect and get straight on the bus. Returns were very straightforward. Highly Recommend!

Browns Ski Rental were absolutely fantastic! Every single staff member was so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. They went above and beyond to make everything easy, and even kindly stored my snowboard — which I hadn’t rented from them — along with other gear which was rented from them. The whole experience was seamless, stress-free, and made it really easy to travel on the bus to the moun...

Absolutely superb customer first service. Great with our 3 kids, getting them all sorted without any drama; also really helpful helping my wife navigate complexities with her boots (she had to replace hers after one day and Browns staff were super helpful). Finally, and most impressively versus any other ski rental places I've been to anywhere in the world, they were incredibly helpful when we d...
