What to do and see in Colorado, United States: The Best Self-Guided Tours & Rentals

March 28, 2022 Weston Hennigan

Colorado is home to no less than twenty-six ski resorts such as those in Vail and Breckenridge; other winter activities include snowboarding, sledding, sleigh rides, snow hiking and snowmobiling. The state is blessed with national parks, grasslands and forests where in warmer weather you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking or rock climbing. Wildlife abounds, from bears to moose and raccoons to wolverines. More interested in local history? Head for either the Ute Indian Museum or the Koshare Indian Museum, and don't miss the forts such as Fort Garland and Bent's Old Fort. For a complete change, why not take a ride in a hot air balloon from South Park Valley or Boulder and admire Colorado's picturesque landscape from above?

What a nice surprise Black Tie Ski Rental was. Not only did we save money compared with renting on the mountain, it was super easy. We wanted to try a different pair of skis one day, called Stephanie and there they were at our condo door with new skis. Totally recommend Black Tie. Thanks for making our trip that much easier and better.

From the first phone call to Evan and multiple calls due to the historic snowstorm speaking with Isabella and ultimately with John, I give this company a true 5 stars for professionalism and understanding the true nature of skiing and customer service. The owner Christopher was our tech in person at the lodge and fitted us all with many tips on skiing and what to look for and to make our experience the best. My helmet was a bit too big for my head and with one phone call to Isabella, we had a tech within 20 minutes with several adult and kid sizes. They really want you to be properly equipped because it is all about safety. That is Black Tie Skis Rentals mission. They actually went above and beyond when we got into trouble with AS (Altitude sickness) and was grounded for the remainder of the trip. One call to BTSR, John, and they came right out picked everything up and offered every effort to amend the trip and make us feel welcomed and truly looked out for. I will always book directly with Black Tie Ski Rentals, Breckenridge.

You can't beat a company that arrives at your hotel, fits the whole family and returns to pick up the equipment when all your skiing is done. The techs were knowledgeable, friendly and answered any questions we had about the area. The techs even returned later in the morning at the mountain when one of my daughters had an issue with her binding. Problem solved within fifteen minutes. Our next issue was the inability to obtain a reservation due to COVID occupancy limits on the mountain and couldn't ski a second day. I emailed the owner, Chris, and he offered us credit for our next visit or a refund because the original rental was for two days. What a great way to treat customers! We'll always use them in the future!

We were blown away by how easy Black Tie made renting skis. They arrived at our hotel with all the right equipment and even helped us navigate the mountain/village. Mid-week we swapped our skis for some snowy conditions at the main shop and they had us back on the mountain in 15 minutes. I would highly recommend black tie and avoid the unnecessary crowds of a traditional rental place. We will definitely be repeat customers!

Great way to learn about Fort Lauderdale. I live here but had a friend visiting and it was fun for both of us. This would be great for a group of friends, coworkers, or bachelorette party. The remote adventure coach, Katie, was great- helpful when needed!!
