Gear up (for less)

Rich’s Boardsports | For snowboards (and wakeboards in the summer), Rich’s is great for those who want to learn while you shop. They’ll take the time to walk you through everything you need to know about your new gear.
Play It Again | If you know what you want but don’t want to break the bank on brand-new gear, browse the large selection of sports gear for every season.

Hit the slopes

Cascade Mountain | Great for families, Cascade hosts a 900' tubing slope, on-site lessons, and free lift passes for kids (with a paid adult).
Tyrol Basin | Pack light. You can rent a full set of ski or snowboarding gear for $40/day. Snowboarders are welcome to shred gnar at the freestyle terrain park .
Blackhawk Ski Club | While this is a members-only club, the myriad of sporting options may be worth it for some families or individuals. Think: ski jumping, mountain biking, biathlon program, alpine ski/boarding.
