What Is Skis On The Run?

Updated

Skis On The Run is a ski and snowboard rental delivery service in Utah that brings rental equipment directly to your lodging instead of requiring a stop at a rental shop. Operating since 2002, it delivers to Deer Valley, Park City, the Canyons, and surrounding areas, with neighboring resorts available by request. It's a fit if you're staying in one of those areas and want to skip the rental shop line on arrival day; it's not a walk-in shop, so you can't pick up gear in person.

What the service actually does

You reserve equipment in advance, and the company delivers it to where you're staying. Rental packages include:

  • Skis
  • Boots
  • Poles
  • Delivery and pickup
  • Service adjustments during the rental period

If you bring your own boots, the company states it takes $5 per day off the rental price.

Delivery area and hours

Detail Information
Delivery hours Daily, 7:45 am–9:00 pm
Scheduling First come, first serve
Primary delivery areas Deer Valley, Park City, the Canyons and surrounding areas
Other resorts Available by request

The first-come, first-serve scheduling is the main practical constraint: a preferred delivery window isn't guaranteed, so booking earlier gives you a better shot at the time you want.

Resorts served

  • Deer Valley Resort — groomed terrain and an elevated mountain experience; premium rentals delivered to your residence.
  • Park City Mountain Resort — expansive terrain and lively base areas; delivery to lodging in Park City or Canyons Village.
  • Little Cottonwood Canyon (Alta and Snowbird) — deep powder and steep terrain; performance rentals selected for those conditions.
  • Big Cottonwood Canyon — relaxed, scenic terrain.

How it compares to a walk-in shop

The company states its rates are the same as or less than most quality walk-in ski shops, with delivery, pickup, and adjustments included at no extra cost. That claim is worth checking against your specific dates and package, since it's the company's own comparison rather than an independent one. The trade-off is scheduling: you're working around delivery windows rather than picking up gear whenever you like.

What to check before booking

  • Confirm your lodging address falls inside the delivery zone, or ask about delivery to a neighboring resort.
  • Decide whether you need boots, since skipping them lowers the daily rate.
  • Book early if you have a specific delivery time in mind.
  • Ask what happens if your equipment needs an adjustment mid-trip — the packages state this is included.
