John the owner has a welcoming attitude and very polite the staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful for beginners and they are FDNY friendly read more

Sweet shop with a good selection of what you need for the slopes. Helpful staff and knowledgeable. Service is pretty quick, depending on what's needed. Prices are lower than shops at the resorts, including rentals. read more

funny story - we unfortunately got pulled over right before dropping off our skis (be weary of those pesky stop signs!) and the cop joked he gave us a break because we rented from these guys. seriously warm service, efficient and knowledgeable, they've even got a beautiful pup that hangs around the shop. very reasonable pricing, about $50 / day for the full caboodle - helmet, boots, poles and skis, or boards. always a pleasure to see geri and the team, thanks for taking care of Jimmy's pals! read more

This is the place to get rentals near hunter mountain! Super helpful and friendly staff. Prices are good and the rentals are good quality. I actually liked the board I rented more than my own board I have at home. They have a nice dog too haha. read more

OOOOEEE Jerry (spelling?) the owner is a no-nonsense, exceptional-customer-service BOSS. Knowledgeable about every facet of the shop, she helped her employees, quickly assisted customers, and gave tips about the mountain during COVID. The other employees (felt like it was a big, awesome family that I wish was mine) were great; they held the door for us as we left lugging ski gear, and helped you in one minute or less. *My friends used the curbside service and in 10 minutes (!), Snowbird brought a brand new snowboard to one friend and new ski boots to the other. How so fast? Family. Just kidding, it was their top notch customer-first attitude. Prices: $37 skis, boots, poles and helmet rental $10 helmet rental $29 bollé goggles (sale) I'll be back Jerry! and Snowbird. Remember me! read more

Snow Bird Ski Shop - Interior of Snowbird shop - Ski & Snowboard Shops Near Me - Hunter, New York

Loved the service here 10/10! This business truly cares about its clients. I'm a little OCD about how I need my socks to feel in my boots and the team working there encouraged me to tell them I was uncomfortable until it felt right which I truly appreciated. Kept it real about the gear I didn't have and what would be a nice to have without that pushy outselling feeling. Jerry is super real about the things she needs from you (the yellow slip and to be punctual) and in return they provide exceptional service and curb side assistance if any of their gear were to ever break on your adventures. I rented skis, boots, pants, helmet and bought a cover for my face and head. The products were on great shape and did the job! Love this business and will be supporting on our next trip! Thanks again everyone working there! read more

Snow Bird Ski Shop - Everyone here rented boots and gear, so happy! - Ski & Snowboard Shops Near Me - Hunter, New York

My family and I had a very frustrating experience on Sunday morning. We arrived at the ski shop at 8:45 AM. There was a line of 50 plus outside and many inside. We waited 45 minutes only to learn they did not have ski boots in any of our sizes. As such we were unable to ski. The shop was extremely disorganized and the staff was overwhelmed. Too be fair it was a holiday weekend and they were the only place in town that does not take reservations. I would suggest they take reservations online and in advance of the ski day. This would have saved us a trip to their store and even the mountain that weekend in that we would have known in advance we were not going to be able to secure rental gear for our ski weekend. read more

I love snow bird!! Whenever my friends and I go up to Hunter we always rent from here. Make sure you get there early because there can be a long line sometimes. The owner Jerry is the absolute best. She is great with recommending equipment to best suit an individual. Snow Bird also has amazing service if something happens to your skis on the mountain. They are quick to come and make a fix/adjustment. - Brooklyn (the doggo) is the sweetest girl ever!! Give her lots of love if you see her. read more

Car broke down second day of our trip, called early in the morning and they said maybe they wouldn't charge us for the day. (Which is policy not to charge) We got there 45 mins later and we were very rudely refused and told they will still charge us despite us returning the gear and not skiing! Rent from the mountain, they will help you out in a crisis! Not this shop who apparently does not care about customer relations! Way to go lady behind the counter, we will be telling all our ski friends not to rent from you. Sure, you got an extra day from us but we will never return to you nor will any of our friends. read more

Very helpful service. They really are nice. We just went for the winter rentals but they gave us a great value. Def recommend!

Awesome. Best prices, friendly and fast service, couldn't ask for more. We've been a couple times and I can't imagine we'll ever consider going anywhere else. read more

Jerry is awesome!! They want to help you get the best fit, best boots, and best price! Awesome place

I will give it a two because of the two kind employees there today. My husband and I work in the ski industry so we walked in and introduced ourselves to the staff on the floor. We had our 7 year old son with us as well who needed to rent ski boots for the day. The two employees quickly got us what we needed when the owner came out the back and looked upset. She paid us no attention , no eye contact, and scolded all of us employees included, for having the boots and the counter. We felt so uncomfortable we will not go back. Having worked in retail for over 20 years I have never seen someone so hostile treat customers and her employees like that. Ashame to start the season on a negative note! read more

The best ski rental shop! Everyone was so friendly and made the renting process a breeze. Will definitely be back!

God damn miracle I stumble upon this spot, even better there was a angel named gerry behind the counter. Awesome person, great prices, and overall good inventory. Came in looking for a wax kit, left with everything I needed with great help and extra knowledge about the process. Even bargained with me on prices lol. I'm stopping by just to chat it up with Gerry next time I'm in the area, good fun. But overall would recommend. read more

I love this shop Jerry is the best person! She will do anything for you. Best Rental shop in Hunter/Tannersville. Nicest rentals in town too they are fairly new and all recently waxed they will get what've you need for The Mountain! read more

My friends and I arrived by 8:30am to rent boot, skis, and poles for 1 day and it took 2 hours to do so. It has never taken me more than 20 minutes to rent equipment, let alone multiple hours... There were wrapping lines inside and outside the building. They ran out of equipment and had to start turning people away. The shop was very disorganized, the staff was completely overwhelmed, and they were working off an entirely archaic paper-and-pen system with no optionality to make a reservation beforehand. Although the price of rentals was great, I would highly recommend spending more elsewhere and getting to the slopes faster. read more

It's so much less expensive than renting on the mountain. They offer slope side service if anything goes wrong. Knowledgeable, friendly and they really care about their customers. Owned by the same family for generations. I couldn't recommend this place more highly. read more

Great prices for Ski and snow board rentals. Much cheaper than renting at Hunter Mountain. The family run business had incredible customer service. We felt at ease with our rental process. Not rushed whatsoever. They also offered rentals of snow gear including jackets gloves, pants and bibs which really came in handy. Lastly they had such a sweet shop dog named Brooklyn. read more

great place to rent. nice people love the people here. the best absolutely the best

Awesome people who work here and hooked us up with some gear before hitting the mountain. Really attentive and kind. Definitely the place to stop. read more
