About Troy's Ski Shop
Troy's Ski Shop is an independent, family-run ski and snowboard rental shop located at 302 Hanson Ranch Road in the heart of Vail Village, Colorado. With over 40 years of industry experience, Troy's has outlasted countless competitors and corporate takeovers to remain one of the few genuinely owner-operated shops in a resort town increasingly dominated by chain operations and resort-owned rental networks.
Their rental program offers ski and snowboard packages along with outerwear rentals including snow pants and winter jackets — a practical service for visitors flying in from warmer climates who don't want to buy expensive cold-weather gear for a single trip. Expert fitting from staff who know Vail's terrain intimately ensures customers get equipment matched to their ability level and the day's conditions, whether they're cruising groomers on the front side or venturing into the Back Bowls.
What defines Troy's is the longevity and authenticity that four decades in the same community brings. While the big-box rental shops cycle through seasonal staff, Troy's team carries institutional knowledge about Vail that only comes from living and skiing here year after year. Their Hanson Ranch Road location puts them in the thick of Vail Village's pedestrian core, making gear pickup and drop-off a seamless part of the ski day without the shuttle rides or long walks that some base-area shops require.
