Christy Sports debuted its Ultimate Demo Ski Pass that allows skiers guaranteed access to various types of this year’s top-of-the-line skis. The 10-day rental pass costs $250, the 20-day pass $350, and an unlimited pass (called the Season Pass) $450. The pass must be purchased before Jan. 12.




Customers first choose a specific model and size, called the “Primary Ski.” This ski is guaranteed each and every time, with a 48-hour advance notice before hitting the slopes. In addition, the customer has access to all other demo skis available in the given Christy Sports location, on a first-come, first-served basis. This option allows the customer to try more specific models-for example, powder skis-when snow conditions change.

“This program is geared toward frequent skiers who already own ski boots, and want to avoid purchasing new skis and lugging them to the resort,” said Patrick O’Winter, CEO of Christy Sports. “A big focus is also on fast and quality service. Pass holders are allowed to bypass the rental line, and will receive the skis with a premium tune every pick-up.”
