We have gathered a list of locations that we know of for renting
gear. We recommend that you check rental equipment
carefully. Take the boots that you will be wearing and try on
rental snowshoes before you leave the store to be sure that all
straps, etc. are there and in good working condition. When
reserving snowshoes, make sure to give your weight and loaded pack
weight.
