Smart ways to gear up at Ski & Sport Shack
Junior Seasonal Lease
Lease junior ski and snowboard gear for the season — fitted in the shop and yours for the whole winter. Free mid-season size swap if your kid outgrows the equipment.
How the Junior Lease Works
Fitted in November, returned in April — and swapped free in between if they grow.
Get Fitted
Bring your child in. We size skis or a board to their height and ability, set bindings to weight and skill level, and fit boots. Call (781) 279-1990 ahead if you want their size held.
Ski All Winter
The gear stays with you from pickup through April 15th. No resale, no off-season storage, no scramble on a powder morning.
Swap or Return
Growth spurt mid-season? Bring it back — we swap for the right size at no charge. Everything comes back by April 15th.

Gear That Grows With Them
Properly fitted gear all winter long. Junior skis, snowboards, boots, and helmets from trusted brands — sized for growing athletes. If they outgrow it mid-season, we swap it out at no extra charge.
Kids grow fast. A Junior Seasonal Lease means you pick up gear in November and return it in April without worrying about resale or storage. If your child outgrows a size mid-season, bring the gear back and we'll swap it at no charge.
Helmets are available for $10/day or $30/season. We carry kids' sizes. All renters under 18 need a parent or guardian signature on the rental form.
Daily junior rates match our adult pricing — the same $45/day ski package, same $50/day snowboard package. If your family only skis a few days a season, a daily rental may be the better fit.

Sizing, swaps, deposits, and the April 15th return date.
How much does a junior seasonal lease cost?
Junior ski packages are $159.98/season for kids under 120cm and $179.98/season for kids 120–160cm. Junior snowboard packages are $179.98/season under 120cm and $199.98/season for 120–140cm. A junior cross country set is $149.98/season. Every seasonal rental also carries a refundable security deposit and breakage insurance — see the rate table above for both figures.
What happens if my kid outgrows the gear mid-season?
Bring it back and we swap it for the right size at no charge — free, no questions asked.
Are helmets included in the junior lease?
Helmets are not included in any rental package. You can add a helmet for $10/day or $30/season, with a $60 deposit and $5 breakage insurance on the seasonal rate. We carry kids' sizes and strongly recommend helmets for children.
When is the gear due back?
All seasonal gear must be returned by April 15th. Late returns are charged $15/day for up to 15 days; after that, the full security deposit is forfeited.
Do I need to pay up front?
Yes. Seasonal rentals must be paid in full at the time of reservation, and require a refundable security deposit plus breakage insurance. The deposit comes back when the gear returns on time and in good condition.
Does my child need to be there to get fitted?
Yes — we size skis or a board to their height and ability, set bindings to weight and skill level, and fit boots in the shop. Walk in anytime; no appointment needed. All renters under 18 need a parent or guardian signature on the rental form.
Is a seasonal lease cheaper than renting by the day?
It depends how often you ski. Daily junior rates match our adult pricing — $45/day for a ski package. At $159.98 for the season, a junior lease pays for itself in roughly four ski days. See the full daily and seasonal rate tables.
What if we want to buy the gear instead?
Ask about Rent to Buy: rent a seasonal package, and if you decide to keep it we credit 100% of your rental toward the purchase of new gear before April 15th. Or buy new outright and use the Junior Trade-In program to trade back for credit as your kid grows.
