Test skis are available at 14 slopeside Christy Sports locations in Avon, Breckenridge, Crested Butte, Keystone, Vail, Steamboat, Telluride, Park City, Deer Valley, and Big Sky. Test skis are the same models available for sale in store, and allow for customers to try out different skis before making a purchase. Up to 2 days of credit from a test ski rental can be applied to a new ski purchase within the same season. Test skis are available on a first come, first served walk-in basis at select locations and cannot be reserved in advance.

- TEST YOUR GEAR: Try out the skis on the mountain to see what you like best. Multiple pairs of skis can be tested in a single day for the same price, so you can directly compare and find the best model for your skiing needs.
- RETURN ON SCHEDULE: Return the ski and snowboard gear to the same location on the scheduled date. Late return fees apply.
- APPLY YOUR TEST CREDIT: If testing helps your find your dream ski setup, you can apply up to 2 days worth of the test rental cost to the purchase price of a new pair of skis within the same season.

What is the difference between Demo Rental and Test?
Demo rentals are available at most Christy Sports locations and feature top-performance skis and boards from leading brands. While demo options include high-quality models, they don’t cover all the skis for sale. Select stores also offer Test Skis, which include every model available for purchase, some of which may also be available for demo rental. Test Skis help customers decide on a purchase, while Demo Rentals are for those seeking the best rental experience without the obligation to buy.
