Snowy Mountains Resort Ski Hire
Use the options below to explore ski and snowboard hire at each Snowy Mountains resort.
NSW Snowy Mountains has three major ski resorts to choose from — Perisher, Thredbo and Mt Selwyn. Each resort offers its own rental options, equipment packages and collection arrangements.
Resort hire can be a convenient choice if you want to collect your equipment close to the slopes and avoid carrying your gear from a town-based hire shop. It can also be particularly useful for first-time visitors, families and short ski trips where convenience is more important than travelling around to compare local hire shops.

Perisher is Australia's largest ski resort, offering skiing and snowboarding across a large alpine area.
Perisher offers ski and snowboard rental options for beginners through to more experienced skiers and snowboarders. Equipment can be collected from locations at and around the resort, making it convenient if you are heading directly to the mountain.
Thredbo is known for its extensive terrain, village atmosphere and long runs from the higher parts of the mountain.
Thredbo offers ski and snowboard rental packages for different ability levels, with rental locations close to the slopes. Options include skis, snowboards, boots, helmets and clothing, depending on the rental package.
Mt Selwyn is a family-friendly ski resort in the northern Snowy Mountains, with terrain suited to beginners and recreational skiers and snowboarders
It is particularly popular with families, beginners and visitors looking for a more relaxed budget friendly mountain experience, especially for people who begin ski at very young age.
Choose where to hire
Resort Hire or Town Hire?
When planning your Snowy Mountains trip, you generally have two choices: hire your equipment at or near the resort, or hire from a shop in one of the surrounding towns.
Resort hire
Town Hire
Resort hire can be convenient because you are closer to the slopes when collecting your equipment. It can be a good option if:
You are staying at or very close to the resort
You want to minimise travel with ski equipment
You are only skiing for a short period
Convenience is more important than comparing multiple hire shops
You are hiring equipment for children or beginners and want easy access to adjustments
Town-based hire can be worth considering if you are staying in Jindabyne, Berridale, Cooma or another nearby location.
Local hire shops may offer different equipment packages and prices, giving you the opportunity to compare options before travelling up the mountain.
For many visitors, particularly families hiring equipment for several days, comparing the available options can make a noticeable difference to the overall cost of a snow trip.
