About Ray's Ski Shop
Ray's Ski Shop is an independent ski and snowboard retail and rental store located at Falls Creek, one of the few shops on the mountain that combines a full rental operation with a well-stocked retail floor. Known for carrying quality brands and offering honest, no-pressure advice, Ray's has earned a loyal following among both day-trippers and season-long regulars who appreciate dealing with knowledgeable staff rather than a faceless hire counter.
The rental range includes ski and snowboard packages for all ages and abilities, from first-timer setups through to high-performance demo skis and boards. They also stock outerwear, accessories, gloves, goggles, and base layers for purchase, so visitors who arrive underprepared can kit out in one stop. Boot fitting is a particular strength — the team takes the time to heat-mould liners and adjust buckles so customers avoid the sore feet that plague many rental experiences.
Ray's reputation is built on straightforward pricing and genuine mountain knowledge. Staff are skiers and boarders themselves, and they can point you toward the best runs for your level, recommend off-piste zones when conditions allow, and suggest the right wax for the day's temperature. It's the kind of shop where you walk in as a customer and leave feeling like you've made a friend on the mountain.
