All the equipment is fully maintained and serviced by trained Salomon technicians. A deposit is required when you hire snowsports equipment at CairnGorm Mountain - see below. There are many other outlets offering ski and snowboard hire in and around Aviemore. At peak holiday periods CairnGorm Mountain does not carry sufficient hire stock to meet peak demand so please arrive early (before 9am) or hire in the village.
