Ski/Snowboard helmets

Question

If we are going to be renting ski and snowboard equipment (in Mountain Village) is it also possible to rent helmets? Just trying to figure out if I need to purchase those before our trip or not.

Answer

Yes, it is absolutely possible to rent ski and snowboard helmets in Telluride, particularly in Mountain Village where most of the main rental shops are located. You do not need to purchase helmets ahead of time unless you prefer using your own for comfort or fit reasons. Renting a helmet is convenient as it ensures you have the latest safety-certified equipment and allows you to travel lighter.

Most rental shops in Mountain Village offer helmets as part of their full ski or snowboard rental packages or as an optional add-on. Pricing is typically reasonable, and you can often reserve helmets along with your other rental gear online in advance, which guarantees availability and can save time when you arrive.

Here are some of the main rental shops in Mountain Village where you can rent helmets:

Telluride Sports – Offers ski, snowboard, and helmet rentals; helmets can be rented separately or as part of a package.
Village Sports – Provides a range of helmet sizes and styles for both adults and children.
Western Ski & Sport – Helmet rentals available with flexible daily or multi-day rates.
Mountain Village Ski & Snowboard Rental Shops – Most local shops have helmets in stock and will fit them for comfort.

Additional tips when renting a helmet:

Try the helmet on to ensure a snug but comfortable fit; it should sit level on your head and not rock forward or backward.
If you plan on skiing multiple days, ask about multi-day rental discounts.
Make reservations ahead of your trip, especially during peak ski season, to ensure helmet availability in your preferred size.

Overall, renting helmets at Mountain Village is straightforward, convenient, and a common practice for visitors who do not wish to travel with their own gear. Unless you have a specific preference or need a custom-fitted helmet, renting on-site is an easy and safe option.
