Lease Your Kid's Skiing or Snowboarding Equipment

It's early fall - school is back in session, the air is crisp, and the leaves are just starting to turn. It must be time to think about skiing and snowboarding!

Kids being kids, they're going to start clamoring for the newest equipment with the latest technology and cool graphics. But you know before the first flake flies, they may already outgrow those expensive boots and you've spent a small fortune - and the stuff doesn't yet fit little brother or sister.

What can a savvy parent do?

Lease the equipment for the season. It's really pretty simple and the hassle is minimal. You can rent the use of the ski and snowboarding equipment for the season, giving you all the convenience of owning at a significantly lower cost. It also allows your family to:

• Get the right equipment without the risk ofgoing broke, at the fraction of buying costs.
• Not worry if child outgrows anything during the season.
• Eliminate the dangerous practice of "sizing up" in hopes of getting more than one season out of the equipment.
• Use gear that is safe, fits properly, and is high quality.
• Not waste time in the rental line (expect 1-2 hours during prime time).
