I’ve been renting skis for the last five years. I know, I know, should have bought some, but was never clear the kids would like it. Now, I’d like to try some fancy skis, but need them for a while. Here are some optiosn:
* www.wood-ski.com Rentals Woodinville Ski Rentals – www.wood-ski.com. $200 for performance ski rental. 1425485SKIS.
* “Fiorini”:http://www.fiorinisports.com. In University Village still I think. Not sure if they rent. 206-523-9610.

People who buy season passes would be interested to learn about SkierGuard, a special insurance program for frequent skiers and snowboarders. Most season passes are a “use-it or lose-it” proposition; SkierGuard protects one’s investment in a season pass if unexpected medical reasons prevent using it. SkierGuard reimburses passholders on a pro-rata basis for the value of an unused season ski pass. In addition, this package includes the following coverages while skiing at the resort(s) where the pass is valid:
* Emergency Evacuation up to $15,000
* Accidental Death/Dismemberment up to $10,000
Passholders may enroll anytime after a season pass is purchased. The cost is 6% of the pass price; see attached brochure for more information. For complete details and online enrollment, go to http://www.skierguard.com

I am almost certain Sturtevant?s rents high-end stuff. Unless something has changed in the past few years (aside from their location), they had the best customer service around. They wanted you to be happy with your purchase, and I believe part of that was a ‘try before you buy’ attitude.
