Rental equipment is as important to your holiday as the snow conditions, the weather and the food you eat. Having ill fitting boots, skis that are too short or a snowboard that is either to wide or slim can result in a not so memorable experience.

It is for this reason that Niseko Boutiques recommend companies that use new equipment each year, have qualified multi-lingual technicians and are able to offer fantastic customer service. By that, we mean that if you want to try skiing instead of snowboarding for a day, you can change for the day (availability dependant), carving skis one day and powder skis the next, different boots, it is all possible. All recommended companies have convenient locations that offer a large fleet of mid range through to top end rental equipment – skis, snowboards & boots, helmets and snow shoes for adults and kids not just for the pistes but powder, park, groomed, off piste or back country equipment to suit all conditions and all levels.
