About Viking Ski Shop
Viking Ski Shop has been a Winter Park institution since the resort's early days, operating from a prime location on US Highway 40 that puts them within easy reach of both the ski resort base area and the town's restaurants and lodging. The shop's longevity — spanning over four decades — speaks to the quality of their rental equipment, the expertise of their boot fitters, and their genuine commitment to making every visitor's ski experience as enjoyable as possible. In a valley with plenty of rental options, Viking's loyal returning customer base tells you everything you need to know.
The winter rental programme covers ski and snowboard packages at multiple performance levels, from comfortable beginner setups to high-end demo equipment featuring current-season models. What sets Viking apart is their boot fitting expertise — certified technicians use custom footbed technology and shell modification to address the fit issues that plague many rental customers. Helmet rentals, goggle rentals, and kids' equipment in all sizes round out the winter offerings. The shop also runs a robust ski and snowboard tuning service, with stone grinding, edge sharpening, and hot wax applications available for guests who bring their own gear.
Online reservations are available and come with a significant advance-booking discount, making it smart to lock in your equipment before arriving in Winter Park. Free overnight storage eliminates the hassle of transporting gear between your accommodation and the slopes. During summer, Viking transitions to a mountain bike rental operation with trail bikes and e-bikes suited to the extensive trail network that surrounds the Fraser Valley. For visitors who value personal service, premium equipment, and decades of local expertise, Viking Ski Shop remains one of Winter Park's best rental choices.
