Lift Tickets and Gear Rental

the honest way to sort it

Two things almost every guest asks about before a ski trip: tickets and gear. Here is who actually sells and rents each, and a form that routes your request to the right place, or to us if we are the right place.

Please read this first

Every business on this page is independent, and lift tickets are sold only by Snowshoe Mountain Resort. Wander Luxe Lodgings does not operate, employ, or take payment for any shop listed here, and does not sell or resell lift tickets. We checked each listing in September 2026 against the provider's own site or web search. Tell us if anything here is out of date.

Lift tickets

Getting your tickets sorted

Honest version: we checked, and Snowshoe Mountain Resort is the only seller of its own lift tickets. We could not find a pre-arrival ticket delivery or concierge purchase service for the mountain, so we are not going to pretend we sell tickets or can get you a better price. Tell us your dates and how many in your party, and we will reply with the current best way to buy: the resort's own site or the ticket window, whichever is faster that week.

buy direct from the mountain

  • Snowshoe Mountain Resort sells every lift ticket. Prices and how-to-buy change by season, so ask and we will send the current link.
  • The resort's own ticket line is 1-877-441-4386.
  • We looked for a pre-arrival ticket delivery or concierge purchase option and did not find one. If that changes, this page will too.

Snowshoe Mountain Resort sells its own lift tickets. We pass this to Austin and Sarah, who will reply with the current best way to buy. Your details stay with us; see the privacy policy.

Gear rental

Who to call for skis, boards, and bikes

Four shops we verified: the resort's own rental counter at the base, two independent shops with their own locations, and one that will bring the gear to the house. Tell us dates, ages, heights, and shoe sizes, and we will pass it to a shop or point you to the fastest option for your group.

Mountain Adventure Center (MAC)

Snowshoe Village, at the base by the Ballhooter lift · On the mountain

The resort's own rental shop: skis, snowboards, and boots in winter, mountain bikes in summer and fall, right where the lifts start.

No drive, no separate stop. The default if you land without a plan.

Notice
Walk in most days. A holiday weekend is worth booking online ahead.

Elk River Snowboard & Ski Shop

Soaring Eagle Lodge and Slatyfork, WV · On the mountain, or about 10 min from the valley shop

Independent, family owned ski and snowboard rental with two locations: one inside Soaring Eagle Lodge, one in the valley on Route 219.

Two spots under one roof, so a line at one is a short drive to the other.

No published email; phone or the site's contact form is the fastest way in.

Notice
Ask about reserving ahead for a big group.

The Ski Barn / Snowcreek Mountain Sports

Slaty Fork and Silver Creek, WV · About 5 to 10 min from most homes

The Southeast's largest independent ski and snowboard rental company, with a base shop at the junction of US-219 and Snowshoe Road plus a second location, Snowcreek Mountain Sports, near Silver Creek. Mountain bike rentals too.

Open before the lifts and after they close, and the only shop we found that does its own ski and board repair.

No published email; call either location directly.

Notice
Ask about reserving ahead for a big group.

Snowshoe Ski Delivery

Delivers to Snowshoe and Silver Creek lodging · To your door

An independent delivery service: they bring ski and snowboard gear to the house and fit it there instead of a shop line.

The only service we found that skips the rental counter entirely, worth it for a big group on arrival day.

No published email; use the online booking form or call.

Notice
Book ahead online.
