Black Tie Ski Rentals of Vail

The service was wonderful. We were able to change our fitting time to work better around our dinner with no problems. The attendants who came to fit us as well as pick everything up were wonderful and very professional. We even had a person in our party want to change from snowboard to skiis in the middle of the trip and they were super helpful and worked around our schedule to get the changed equipment to us quickly. A great service and honestly, their pricing is just about the same as the shops. Why waste your time waiting in line? Let them come to you!

Used their service on Wednesday, Jan 7, 2015.
I’m always skeptical of a business with only 5-​star reviews… But, I guess not enough people know about these guys, so there’s just not enough reviews!
I arranged a time for them to swing by your hotel (stayed at the Westin for my 2^nd and 3^rd night), and they showed up with two boots for me to try on. First one fit perfectly, and it seemed stiff enough for my liking. The guy (think his name was Corey), was really nice and answered any questions I had (I admitted I was a total noob at snowboarding).
Really, these are what I think are the most important criteria in choosing a snowboard rental service:
1. Convenience. They deliver to you. There’s no delivery charge (there’s a chance to tip though). They also pick up your stuff from the hotel when you’re done. Not sure how much more convenient that is. I opted to meet him at the ski valet, where the stuff would be stored, but there was an option for him to meet me in my room to try on the boot too.
2. Price. You would expect the most convenient rental would be the most expensive… so I was blown away that their service was actually cheaper than the Burton store! ($ 62 versus $ 65).
3. Selection. I can’t objectively compare this criteria with other locations, but I was very happy with my boot and board. Then again, I’m a big noob, so…
I imagine most people using rental services are newbies, or can’t lug around their board and boots. Or maybe just their boots, but not their board… so it really comes down to cost and convenience. Black Tie certainly has these things down, so I’ll be using their services in the future.

Fantastic service!
My family rented three sets of ski equipment at Beaver Creek during the last week of December, what must be the busiest ski week of the year. We reserved the skis just a couple days before our trip. Due to the complexity of our reservation (different delivery and pickup times and locations), I was not able to reserve online. I called and spoke to Adam, who was tremendously helpful (and patient!) in handling all the details and explaining the entire process.
The skis, boots and poles were delivered to our condo exactly on schedule and we were fitted very efficiently. We were able to easily adjust pickup times over the phone when we decided to return one set of skis early and keep another for an extra day.
Everything went so smoothly and easily. Everyone else we dealt with was helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.

They showed up on Friday morning at 8:20, which was 10 minutes early. The delivery tech was about as friendly as you can get. I was fitted and ready for the mountain 15 minutes later while enjoying coffee in our condo. The prices were great as was the equipment. I left the gear out when I was done and that was it! I won’t do it any other way. Great service and really nice people.

These guys were awesome. I was a little leary at 1^st. They showed up right on time to my hotel. My room was not ready so they were able to fit us and adjust the bindings right in the lobby. Steve and Ryan were great. The next day I called around 8am b\c my daughter’s foot was hurting and they sent a guy over to the hotel within 30 minutes. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them.

Best experience renting ski gear. It was painless, convenient and really reasonable! I can’t imagine renting great another way. Thanks Trevor!

It really doesn’t get any better than Black Tie Rentals. They bring everything to you, fit you in a matter of minutes, and leave you ready to roll. Whether you need only skis and poles, or full equipment (including helmets) for a huge group, Black Tie is the only way to go.
Time Efficient: Renting is time consuming. You get to the mountain, planning to make first chair, and ages of lines, paperwork, and equipment lugging later, it’s fully mid-​morning and you’re just hitting the slopes. If you’re staying ski-​in, ski-​out, you can hit the slopes before first chair and be ready to roll! Or, if you’re not on the mountain, you can have you equipment ready to go the night before you ski, and still save yourself a ton of time.
Convenient: They come to you, wherever you are, at a time that is convenient for you.
Cost Effective: On average 20% cheaper than renting on the mountain
I will be using Black Tie for all my rentals in the future!
