Skis on the Run continues to provide specialized ski and snowboard rental delivery services across the Wasatch Back, operating in coordination with sister company Switchback Sports, which recently expanded its operations with a new location in Heber City.
Streamlined Rental Services
Skis on the Run, which has been operating since 2002, provides a rental experience designed to avoid crowded ski shops and long lines. According to the company, customers can select their gear online and have it delivered and custom-fitted directly at their accommodation. This service is intended to provide convenience for travelers seeking to avoid traditional retail environments.
Regional Expansion and Locations
The rental service is supported by its sister company, Switchback Sports, which specializes in the sale, rental, and service of skis and bikes. Switchback Sports maintains a primary presence in Park City and has recently expanded its footprint by opening a new location in Heber City. Additionally, the company operates several pocket shops, including a specialized location at the Black Rock Mountain Resort.
