Rental & Demo Policies

The following policies apply to Big Sky Sports Rentals & Demos. 

Skier Type Classification

Your skier type, height, weight, age, and boot sole length are used by the rental or demo shop technician to determine the release and retention settings for your bindings. Consult the descriptions below to select your classification. Be sure to provide accurate information, as errors may increase your risk of injury. 


Type I: Cautious skiing on smooth slopes of gentle to moderate pitch

Skiers who designate themselves as Type I receive lower than-average release/retention settings. This corresponds to an increased risk of inadvertent binding release in order to promote a release in case of a fall. This type also applies to entry-level skiers uncertain of their classification. 


Type II: Skiers not classified as Type I or III

Skiers who designate themselves as Type II receive average release/retention settings appropriate for most recreational skiing. 


Type III: Fast skiing on slopes of moderate or steep pitch

Skiers who designate themselves as Type III receive higher than average release/retention settings. This corresponds to decreased release-ability in a fall in order to gain a decreased risk of inadvertent binding release. This classification is not recommended for skiers under 45 lbs. 

Rental Cancellation Policy

We understand that sometimes your plans change after you’ve purchased your rentals or demos. Our credit policy allows you to receive credit for your purchase in the form of an eVoucher that may be used towards another online purchase. The full dollar amount for change requests and cancellations will go onto a voucher. To cancel, contact the Big Sky Sports Rental Office. 

To use your credit, log into the Big Sky Online Store to see voucher codes and use them to purchase online products for a future visit. Vouchers generated during the 23-24 ski season will expire on May 1, 2025. If there is a difference in price, you will be required to pay that difference for the new product. If you do not use all of your credit in one transaction, the remaining balance will remain available on the same voucher for another purchase until the expiration of May 1, 2025. Voucher credits must be redeemed online.
