About Central Snowsports
Central Snowsports is one of Hakuba Valley's largest ski and snowboard rental providers, operating three convenient shops in Happo, Echoland, and Wadano. With the broadest demo fleet in the village, they stock premium equipment from brands including Volkl, Black Crows, K2, Head, Ride, Jones, Capita, and Lib Tech, making them a go-to for riders who want to test high-end gear before buying.
The rental process is streamlined — guests can book online and have equipment delivered to their accommodation before arrival, then picked up after departure, eliminating the need to carry gear through the village. Walk-in fittings are available but limited, so pre-booking is strongly recommended during peak season. Full bootfitting and tuning services are available at all three locations, and if conditions change mid-trip, Central will exchange your equipment so you can match your setup to the snow.
Central Snowsports has built its reputation on the depth of its demo range and the convenience of its multi-location model. Whether you're staying near the Happo-One gondola, in the nightlife hub of Echoland, or at the quieter Wadano base, there's a Central shop within walking distance. The combination of top-tier equipment, hassle-free delivery, and expert fitting makes them a dependable choice for both first-time visitors and returning Hakuba regulars.
