The Lion at Vail Ski Shop

Our ski rental shop in The Lion in Vail’s Lionshead Village offers a convenient location to the Eagle Bahn Gondola with ski valet service and storage, to get guests on and off the mountain with zero hassle.

We have a legendary commitment to customer service and all new skis every year in our demo ski rental fleet. Every pair of skis is tuned nightly so you are guaranteed the best in performance.

The ski runs are less than a five-minute walk in your ski boots, close enough to be a great warm-up for the ski legs.  Or take our ski toboggan to carry you and your skis to the lift for you and pick them up at the end of the day.
