DEMO SKI FAQS
WE ARE OFFERING THIS FRIDAY MORNINGS THROUGH FEBRUARY | VIEW AVAILABILITY
Have you been to an Eldora Uphill Community Friday yet? We are offering the opportunity for you to come up and demo skis and boots from our brand partners, Dynafit and Scarpa! We will be at Eldora from 7 to 9:30 am every Friday till the end of February.
HOW DO I RESERVE GEAR?
To reserve skis and boots, visit our rentals page. Because availability from our brand partners will vary week to week, we typically will not open up reservations until mid-day Wednesday on the week of each Friday morning demo. RESERVATIONS CLOSE AT 11 AM ON THE THURSDAY BEFORE EACH FRIDAY'S DEMO!
Please disregard language about a $20 cancellation fee when completing your rental. We do need to take payment information in the event of damage or theft but these demos are otherwise entirely free.
ARE YOU RENTING BOOTS?
Typically, yes! There will be some Fridays where availability will be limited based on our partner’s demo product availability. If you are using your own boots, they must be AT-specific. This means your boots need to have pin bindings with ISO 5355 Alpine, ISO 9523 Touring, WTR, or GripWalk. If you have any questions about your boot’s compatibility, give us a shout.
WHEN CAN I PICKUP MY GEAR?
We are STRONGLY encouraging everyone to pick up their gear from the Full Cycle shop on the Thursday before your rental from 2-5 pm so we can set your boots to your bindings and you can maximize your time on the slopes. In an effort to not have everyone come for gear setup at the same time, please click here to confirm a time slot for Thursday gear setup. Only choose a gear set-up time AFTER you’ve reserved your gear on our website!We will have some gear available for pickup on Friday morning at Eldora if you are unable to make it Thursday afternoon. We can also help you with any last-minute adjustments on-site at Eldora.
WHERE DO I RETURN MY GEAR?
We will be hanging out at the base in front of Indian Peaks Lodge all morning. Drop your gear off with us by 9:30 AM and we will take care of the rest.
DO I NEED AN UPHILL PASS?
Yup, but they are only $99 and free if you own an Eldora or Ikon alpine pass. If you do not have an alpine pass, to participate in this demo opportunity you must have an Eldora Uphill Season Pass. You can purchase an Uphill Only Season Pass from Eldora on their website.
BUT I DON’T HAVE ANYONE TO SKI WITH…
Ski with us! We lead a weekly group ski every Friday morning, starting at the base of the mountain at 7 AM. It’s a good time. Look for us at our tent and we will skin up together!
