Lessons & rentals

First-timers and returning skiers are welcome. We recommend lessons Friday and Saturday for more practice, more laps and lift-line priority; kids are grouped by age and ability. Skiing and snowboarding are optional for dads.

Rental FAQ

Each family arranges and pays for its own rentals. Choose pickup near our condos, slopeside service, delivery or a fitting before the drive.

Mammoth rental shops ↗

Standard, performance and demo gear. Mountain Center is in The Village; Canyon is reached by the Village Gondola. Main and Eagle are other slopeside options.

Ski Butlers delivery ↗

Get fitted at your lodging. Confirm Village Lodge service, appointment and return arrangements. Mammoth also lists hotel delivery at the Inn and Westin.

Sports Basement Orange County ↗

Get fitted in Fountain Valley before the drive. Ask about snow-clothing rentals as well as equipment. Phil’s in Costa Mesa is another local ski and snowboard rental option.

More Mammoth options ↗

Skiing beyond this weekend? Compare four rental days on one pass or gear you keep all season. Review current terms before booking.

  • Book early and compare advance, consecutive-day and eligible Ikon discounts at checkout.
  • Mammoth lists pickup from 1–3:30 p.m. the day before, or from 8 a.m. on your first ski day. Allow at least one hour before lessons for fitting; confirm hours when booking.
  • Have each renter’s height, weight and shoe size ready. Complete the rental waiver and save your reservation barcode before arrival.
  • Confirm boots and helmet are included or added. Bring your own snow clothing and goggles; Mammoth does not rent winter clothing.
