Essential Knowledge

  • We will match you with the best available equipment based on the details you provide us.

  • We do not rent snow board boots, only Alpine Touring (Tech compatable) ski touring boots.

  • Skins and adjustable poles included with all rentals. 

  • Rental returns are made at our shop in Yamabe. In some cases, the express courier service can be used to return items. In that case, one extra days rental plus the courier costs will be charged. For return courier service, we attach a return courier voucher with our address details to the ski bags you then hand the bag in to the front desk of your last hotel or to the Black Cat courier desk at the airport when you have finished.

  • Payment via credit Card or Online Invoice Payable on or prior to setup.

  • All equipment supplied by us is fit for purpose and checked prior to your use. 

  • Split Board rental is only available for experienced split boarders. An exception to this is if you are with a split board guide. Please advise. 

  • Damage. Gear breakages do occur. We may charge replacement cost for any broken equipment.

  • Tech Bindings. These bindings are light weight and delicate. They are designed purely for backcountry and off piste skiing. They are not designed for resort skiing. Please choose wisely. See note on damage above. 

  • Ski Skins. All skins supplied by us are set for your ski length and have sufficient attachment surface, whether glue or hybrid. Skin management is critical to your enjoyment of the backcountry. You cannot let the attachment surface get wet or have any snow on it. Please take note of our suggestions for efficient and trouble free skin management in the backcountry via the link below.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdRynyjfO8I
