I'm going on a trip next week, and I really don't feel like dragging my skis along. Do you guys know if most rental shops rent twins?

Most shops will let you buy a daily demo of a ski....its a lot more expensive then a normal rental though. I would highly suggest just bringing your own.

they do, but in the case in my town, they're a pair of busted ass 1080's or scratches with lead footed rental bindings mounted on them

most of the shops i go to don't because the twins end up gettign trashed, it's hard to find out what ski you want if you can't demo them though.

^You should die a slow and painful death being chewed to pieces by red army ants for promoting ski theft.

Most rentals dont have twins, most retail shops do. They are just damn expensive



In tractor pulls, a 'full pull' is the best you can get. Ahh, how sport mirrors life.

Nobody rents twin-tips because people would just destroy them...

It's kinda like how shops only rented like alpine boards and those weird ass snowboards with the 'bumper' when snowboards were super popular because they didn't want people to just destroy them in the new snowboard parks
