About Wild Ernest Sports
Wild Ernest Sports is an independently owned ski and snowboard rental shop in Silverthorne, Colorado, positioned just off Interstate 70 for quick, hassle-free access without the congestion of resort village traffic. Serving the entire Summit County corridor — Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Arapahoe Basin, and Loveland — the shop has built a loyal following among visitors who prefer to gear up before reaching the slopes rather than wrestling with crowded on-mountain rental counters.
Their rental fleet features current-season equipment from Salomon, Atomic, K2, Rossignol, Elan, Volkl, and Nordica, covering ski lengths from 70 cm kids' setups right through to 188 cm expert models. Snowboard packages are equally comprehensive, and every rental includes professional binding adjustment and a walkthrough of safety basics. Beyond equipment, Wild Ernest sells discounted lift tickets to all five nearby resorts, making it a genuine one-stop shop for day-trippers and week-long visitors alike.
What sets Wild Ernest apart from the larger chain rental operations is the combination of competitive pricing, ample free parking, and a no-pressure atmosphere. The shop's central Silverthorne location means you can pick up gear on arrival and drop it off on departure without detouring through resort traffic, shaving valuable time off both ends of your ski day. Online reservations are available for those who want gear ready on arrival.
