Picking Up Rentals

If you reserved rentals online, head to the lower level of Hart Prairie Lodge and look for the rentals flag. Our team will get you set up quickly as possible. Walk-ins are welcome, but availability may be limited – we recommend booking rentals online!

Please arrive early to complete the rental process. Peak pick up times are usually 8:30 – 10:00 AM

Checking in for Lessons

Check in for your lesson at the Snowbowl Ski School check-in area towards the Hart Prairie Lift. We suggest arriving to the ski area at least an hour and a half before your lesson starts.
