at a base area Ski & Ride location to register and fill out

to get your rental equipment the day prior to your lesson. Most
rental shops will allow you to pick up equipment the afternoon

If you're
worried about getting the proper rental gear, we suggest you
take a LTR (Learn to Ride) or a Breckenridge Learn to Ski
lesson. When you participate in these programs your instructor
takes you to get equipment in the morning and guides you through
the rental process.
