Rent Snow Clothes Packages in 1 click 🏂

As snow season starts, you can now order a full set of clothes in a package with just 1 click! No more wondering what's important - with 1 click you can get a bundle of everything we believe is an Essential clothing item, or get the Complete kit of everything we have (for those who love being extra prepared).

Let us help you make your holiday season stress free. Add $8 to your order and we can even deliver and pick it up to your house, so you can spend more time enjoying the holidays.

Reminder that:
- There are 7 locations where you can pick up & drop off gear. Check out our other posts for a full list!
- Hoping to add a location further out in the avenues in SF soon 🤫

Note:
- We do not rent the actual skis or boards themselves for safety reasons -we're a proponent of renting your skis or boards on the mountain, so that if something doesn't fit right, you always can swap on the slopes

We're still looking for funds to help us survive, check our past posts on Instagram for more info.

We have a tiny bit of runway to run one final experiment. We'll be hyper-focused on getting you easy access to rentals via neighborhood outposts. One of these outposts is, in fact, our old location in the Mission! Outposts will only be for picking-up and dropping-off gear.

With this hyper-focus, we will not have staffed hours going forward, meaning no more walk-ins to Buy or Borrow. We'll be focused on Rent to try to survive.

If you know anyone who can help us with our fundraising efforts please feel free to reach out to us. Thank you for your support in this time!
