Find Your Ability Level
Beginner
Type I Skier/Rider
The ski/snowboard is specially designed to rapidly increase the learning curve of the new athlete to the sport. With the shorter lengths and hourglass shape, the ski/snowboard performs with minimal effort.
Intermediate
Type II Skier/Rider
Intermediate skiers/riders should usually choose to rent high performance gear. When selecting your gear in the shop, specify if you enjoy groomed moderately challenging slopes or, if you are more of an enthusiast who ventures off the groomed slopes and into moguls, chopped up powder etc. The Whistler Blackcomb rental shop staff will make sure you're set up with appropriate gear.
Advanced & Expert
Type III Skier/Rider
Expert Skiers/Riders who enjoy the off piste and steep slopes can choose the ski/board best suited for their style. Skis/Board are designed in such a way that the renter can compliment their technique by the equipment they choose. Someone who enjoys the speed/racing skill of skiing will be inclined to choose a ski/board that is torsionally stiffer and has less side cut. On the contrary, someone who likes the short radius type turn will choose a softer more forgiving ski/board that has a wider side cut. Finally, after the big dumps of snow, there is the fat ski -- an all around wider ski which resembles a water-ski. This ski floats on the top of powder making it much easier to master the steep and deep.
