Ski Boot Size Chart: Ski boots are NOT like street shoes, do NOT use your street shoe size to convert your ski boot size. Ski Boots use the Mondo Scale which is a conversion of the foot length in centimeters, for example 22.5 mondo size ski boot equals a foot length roughly a 22.5cm or between 22.1cm (loose) to 22.9cm (tight). Most high performing ski boots will have a narrow last (forefoot & ankle width) starting point. This will ensure maximum performance and tightness that will lead to better transferring of power in the turn, a must in ski racing. Some skiers will have to adjust for the tightness if they are not familiar with the fitment of performance ski boot, but in time, the skiers does begin to tolerate and appreciate the response from their boots. More aggressive and experienced skiers can usually tolerate down sizing the ski boot for the maximum fitment. All ski boot rentals will be evaluated at the time of pick up to ensure the best fitment for the individual skier.

Please select the preferred option in the required field above (Junior Ski Poles & Ski Pole Length) if you need racing ski poles with your package or select NONE for both options.
Options are available with limited New or Used inventory.
Ski Pole Sizing Chart: Ski poles are traditionally sized to the skiers height with the elbow bent to a 90° and holding the ski pole upside down under the pole basket. Slalom, Giant Slalom, Speed and Freeride all have a specific ideal length to help the skier push out of the starting gate, cross block through course gates, and making powerful pole planting pushes and turns. Too short and the power is lost out of the gate or too much leaning forward to execute a clean pole plant. Too long can throws the skier off balance and too stood up and out of position. Slalom and Freeride poles can be sized similarly but for Giant Slalom and Speed events, a longer pole is preferred to maximize pushing. Measure from the ground barefoot to the height of the elbow and add 10cm to find out the ideal Slalom ski pole length which could be used for freeride as well and for Giant Slalom just go up one size or 5cm from what the skier is using as the Slalom pole.
Included in Default Package Price*
Length: 90cm, 95cm, 100cm, 105cm, 110cm, 115cm, 120cm

Options are available with limited New or Used inventory.
Size Chart Freeride: We recommend that you go no shorter than just above the chin and no longer than head height. Yes, the skier can ski on longer skis like the Giant Slalom and Super G skis, but freeride is meant to allow the skier to relax and have fun just cruising around the mountain, it is called FREESKIING. Best to get something around forehead head height. Freeride skis are usually softer flexing skis, so don't size it like a Slalom ski either, there is a good middle ground between eye height and forehead height for performance and playfulness. Measure barefoot from the ground to the skier's eyebrow height to find out what length skis should be used, then select the closest length of skis in the options above, more aggressive and experienced skiers can go a little longer.

Our Season Rental Pick Up Timeframe is necessary for all programs so we can make sure to have all equipment set up in time for when the Ski Club starts every winter season. Some clubs and programs can start in Colorado as early as the 3rd week of October and some may not start until later November or early December. By providing this option will help us make sure to get the skiers equipment set up in a timely manner and ready to hit the slopes without having to scramble at the last minute. We recommend selecting the date about two to three weeks out prior of the starting date for the individual ski program.
Pick Up Dates are not used to reserve equipment. We have a limited amount of inventory and if you are trying to reserve a ski package, you can do that at any time during the summer or fall. We recommend to reserve inventory as soon as you can and not wait until we get too close to the beginning of the ski season which is October here in Colorado. By October we are already too late to order in more equipment if we run out and are at the mercy of the Vendor's Distribution Center and what they have left at the warehouse. If you need assistance in person, make an appointment for early August to early September for that ski package.
Please select within a good time frame when you would like to be able to pick up your equipment to complete Step 7a.
Here in Colorado our racing season traditionally ends every year with the last race usually within the first few weeks of April with the Legendary Loveland Derby. At this point in the season, there are no more competitions on the calendar. We do however have many athletes and skiers that will continue their season with potential spring and summer training camps. Ideally, at this point, the skier really does not need to be using the same gear they have been on all season and should consider sizing up so that every day on the snow in the late spring and early summer, the skier can be using that time to adapt and adjust to longer skis that the skier will be using the following season of competition. Spring and Summer Rentals are available In-Store Only.
If the skier plans on not attending any spring or summer camps and your season ends in April, then select the Early Return Date of April 30th for a discounted price.
If the skier plans on attending spring camps here in Colorado and does not want to size up for the spring camps, then select the Standard Return Date of May 31st.
If the skier plans on attending a summer camp in June or July and equipment is needed all the way through the summer then select the Extension Return Date of August 15th for an additional price.
If the skier plans on attending spring and summer camps and would also like to exchange race skis, boots, and poles for the next size up, then select the Summer Swap Up Option and swap out the gear by April 30th that will have a Return Date of August 15th.
Please select one of the Return Dates to complete Step 8a.
These Return Dates are strictly enforced and if equipment is not returned within the proper time frame of those return dates, an additional $40 fee will be added for every single day the equipment is not returned to our Facility in Englewood Colorado. So please do not leave your equipment up at the mountain house or storage facilities. Foothills Ski Life performs storage tunes on all of our equipment to ensure proper storage so skis do not end up rusting away and drying out during the off season.
At Foothills Ski Life we want every athlete and customer to enjoy premium products that are properly maintained and in great shape. A tune makes all the difference in how the product will perform. Foothills Ski Life requires that every season lease that goes out for the season without a seasonal tuning program, is return every with 60-90 Days for a mandatory inspection and a minor tune up for the ski system free of charge. If major damages are present, additional fees will be collected to cover the service before the equipment can be picked up. We like to keep our gear in tip top shape and want to make sure that the equipment is properly maintained so that you can have a safe experience.
Whether you purchase a Basic Season Lease or a USSA Season Lease, we would appreciate that every customer participate and be proactive about maintaining their equipment. Any kind of neglectful or mistreatment of the equipment will be issued a service fee of $50.00 and can escalate to a complete compensation for damaged or totaled skis, boots or poles. So if you end up not bring the skis in for the mandatory inspection and tune, you will be charged for the tune up automatically from the credit card information that is collected at the time of pick up and this fee is not negotiable. Damages include broken or bent skis, poles and boots, excessive scratches and gouging on the top sheets of skis and ski poles, rentals are not your personal property, please respect our equipment.
All Season Leases are required to leave Drivers License Number and Credit Card information with all paper work and documentation. USSA Season Leases start as early as October 1st and are required to be returned by May 31st of every season. Race season is over and Foothills needs to collect all race skis back by May so that we can provide other customers with Spring and Summer Lease options. There are options for extending your season lease through the summer (Return Date August 15th) for a minimal fee. And we have a Swap Up Exchange option available for longer skis, boots and poles for skiers looking to get out on next years length of skis for spring and summer training which would occur by April 31st and required to be returned by August 15th also for an additional fee. Please select the options correctly for Step 8: Return Date.
If equipment goes missing, is broken, or neglectful treatment is suspected, we do have a policy that you pay for the product to be replaced or serviced and prices will vary depending on individual circumstances.
When you are done for the season, we do request that you bring back the equipment immediately instead of leaving it in your house and garage or up at the mountain condo. Foothills has a spring and summer lease option that equipment will be needed for and if product is not used for those leases, we like to perform storage tunes on all the equipment so the gear is properly stored during the off season.
All season leases can access discounted tune ups during the season, so if you like to keep your skis tuned up and would like to bring them in more frequently to receive service, you will receive a 10% discount off our standard pricing. Or you can sign up for our Seasonal Tuning Programs with monthly, biweekly or weekly services. You can check out the Service Menu at our website’s service page.
