Our large group rented snowboards, skis, and snow shoes from Tahoe Dave's. Because of our high volume, they were generous enough to give us a small discount on our equipment rental. Getting the equipment was easy and quick. They have lots of equipment available for rent, depending on your needs, all good quality and well maintained, at a good price.

When I changed the ski against another one the edges weren't good as well. They declined to prepare them - they mentioned that they do not have a proper machine for that!!!! They said then that the skip the contract and give money back.
One other colleague who wanted to change skis faced exactly the same issue. He also gave back his skis and the people yelled "you are the most picky customer of the season"
My recommendation for renting skis ist Granite Chief in Truckee.... More competent and...
