About Rentals

We know that renting gear is not necessarily your favourite part of a winter holiday. But for us this is where the FUN begins. We try & make the rental process as easy as possible. Everything we do is driven by our love of skiing & riding & we want to help you get the same BUZZ, whether it’s your first time on snow or whether you’re a Masters Racer. We want to help you have the BEST winter holiday EVER.

Rented From Us Before?

Let us know what gear you want & when. We already know your size and equipment settings. In the case of kids, we will need to re-measure them as they are bound to have grown since the last time you were here!  Just email us at least 5 days before your first day on snow at for any specific requests or re-hires.

Renting For The First Time?

When you come into the shop we take the time to fit the gear to your specific requirements giving a personalised service for maximum safety and comfort.

Why Rent From Browns?

Apart from all of the above, here are a few more reasons for those of you sitting on the fence:

1) IT'S A PIECE OF CAKE!

• Sweetest rental system , minimising shop-time, maximising slope-time
• We seriously have the best staff in the business!

2) QUALITY GEAR & QUALITY MAINTENANCE

• Brand new Executive skis & boards every season
• All bindings are calibrated using the only electronic calibration unit in the South Island to maximise safety
• We have a Montana Snow Cruiser Robot producing the sweetest tune to help YOU make the sweetest turns

3) TAKING DAYS OFF – NO PROBLEM & NO COST!

• Just let us know in advance, drop off or have us collect the gear, and we don’t charge you rental for those days
• We’ll drop your gear back to you when you’re ready to go again

4) CLOTHING
