Your old trusty skis have been with you for years; countless powder days, icy groomers, and maybe even a few core shots along the way. But now, they’re starting to show their age. Maybe it's time for an upgrade, or perhaps you’re looking to add another ski to your quiver: something wider for deep days or more playful for spring conditions. The best way to find the perfect new ride? Try before you buy at the Casper Demo Tent!

Step off the Sweetwater Gondola, take in the beautiful mountain scenery, and enjoy easy access to a unique ski rental experience before you even make your first turn. Welcome to the Caper Demo Tent, where you can try as many pairs of skis as you want for just $15 an hour, a dream come true for gearheads and casual skiers alike!

Try Before You Buy | The Best Way to Find Your Perfect Skis

Why commit to a pair of skis before knowing how they perform on the mountain? Our on-mountain ski rental tent lets you test different models back-to-back, so you can find the perfect match for your style, ability, and the day's snow conditions. Whether you're eyeing an aggressive carving ski or a playful powder ski, this is your chance to experience the difference before making a purchase. Once you find that perfect ski, stop by JHS, TVS, or Hoback Sports and pick up your new sticks. Enjoy up to 40% off for the rest of the season! 

Adapt to the Conditions | Swap Skis Anytime

We all know that mountain conditions can change in an instant. What felt great on the first run might not be the right fit as the snow softens or hardens throughout the day. The beauty of our rental setup? If the skis you picked aren’t working for you, swap them out hassle-free! Try a wider ski for fresh snow, a stiffer ski for bluebird groomers, or a more forgiving option if your legs are feeling the burn.

Unbeatable Convenience | Rent at the Sweetwater Gondola Summit

No more trekking from town or lugging skis up to the mountain. Our ski rental tent is perfectly positioned at the top of the Sweetwater Gondola, so you can pop in before your first run. Even better, it's located right next to Casper Lodge, where you can grab food, drinks, and relax between runs. Whether you need to refuel with a hot meal or kick back with a beverage, you’re steps away from comfort.

Plus, this mid-mountain location provides easy access to all levels of terrain, from beginner-friendly groomers to challenging steeps and powder stashes. Need a quick change mid-day? No problem! Our easy-access setup means you can switch things up without missing a beat.
