Found Peak Performance online and decided to rent skis, boots and poles. I have my own skis that are about 20 years old or more that are slightly "tapered" and are 185's! Talking to people I decided that the new skis are much shorter and much easier to ski with. I booked the rental online and saved 15%. Even before the savings the two day rental here was less that the one day rental at the mountain!! The rentals are tuned and waxed after every rental return so you always get a set ready to go. The staff is phenomenal too. Everything was explained and all questions answered, never feeling rushed. This is the place to go if you want to rent skis at Killington. I will definitely use them again and tell my friends about them too!

The customer service, as well as the products that we used at Basin Sports, were fantastic. We flew into Rutland to celebrate Thanksgiving and to watch the World Cup. We arrived with no luggage. Not only did Basin Sports help us to get a full rental pkg when we were only expecting to have to rent skis, they helped us find items on the clearance rack to outfit us as well as offered to have our luggage delivered to their store so, we could spend the day on the slopes. The demo skis we rented were in fantastic shape, the skis sharp and waxed. We were able to enjoy ourselves without having to worry about our luggage. Thank you, Basin Sports! If anyone is trying to decide which shop to visit while in Killington I strongly recommend Basin Sports!
