SKI & SNOWBOARD HIRE — GOOD TO KNOW
Where do I collect my rental equipment?
Collect all booked ski, snowboard and winter clothing hire from Ben Lomond Base at 3420 Blessington Road before travelling to the alpine village.
Does ski or snowboard hire include a lift pass?
It depends on the product. Combined Ski & Lift and Snowboard & Lift packages include lift access for the chosen session. Rental-only bookings do not automatically include lift access. Check the inclusions before paying.
Are helmets included?
Helmets are included in our ski and snowboard lift-and-rental packages. We strongly recommend helmets for everyone skiing or snowboarding. Check individual product inclusions when booking.
Can I hire just a jacket, pants or snow boots?
Yes. Individual adult and child clothing hire options are available, subject to sizes and stock. Check the booking shop for current options.
Can I hire gloves, goggles or socks?
Gloves, beanies, goggles and similar personal items are not hired for hygiene reasons. Selected accessories are available for purchase at Ben Lomond Base.
Should I book equipment before arriving?
We recommend booking online, especially during school holidays and weekends. Advance booking helps our team prepare your equipment, although fitting and collection still take time.
How much time should I allow?
Allow plenty of time to drive to Ben Lomond Base, collect and fit equipment, and complete the journey to the alpine village. Fitting can take significantly longer during busy periods. If you have a Ski School booking, plan your arrival around your lesson start time.
What happens if the lifts cannot operate?
Lift access depends on suitable snow and operating conditions. If your booking is affected by a closure, the applicable booking terms, available credits or refunds, and your rights under Australian Consumer Law will apply. Snowplay and clothing-only products can have different conditions, so please check the terms for your specific booking.
