Kids can get seasonal ski rentals at Sno-Haus locations in Huntington, Greenvale and Hempstead. Seasonal rentals are walk-in, so families do not need an appointment or reservation. The equipment is fitted before the season, stays with the family through the winter and can be exchanged for another size if a child grows during the season, subject to available rental inventory.
For Long Island families trying to avoid a rental counter on every ski weekend, that means the boots, skis and poles can already be fitted and ready before the drive north.
What is included in a junior seasonal ski rental?
For the 2026/27 season, a junior ski package includes skis, boots and poles. Sno-Haus currently offers Basic and Premium seasonal ski packages.
- Junior Basic Ski Package: $150 rental charge through October 15, 2026, plus a $170 refundable deposit. Total paid at checkout is $320. The regular rental charge is $170 after the preseason promotion.
- Junior Premium Ski Package: $190 rental charge through October 15, 2026, plus a $210 refundable deposit. Total paid at checkout is $400. The regular rental charge is $210 after the preseason promotion.
The deposit is separate from the rental cost. It is returned when the equipment is returned on time and in accordance with the rental agreement.
You can review the current packages on the Sno-Haus ski and snowboard rental page.
What age counts as a junior rental?
Sno-Haus currently publishes Junior and Adult rental categories but does not publish a strict age cutoff for the Junior category. If your child is approaching adult equipment sizes, do not assume the rate based on age alone. Have the rental team confirm the correct category during the fitting before calculating your final cost.
What happens if my child grows during ski season?
Growing during the winter does not mean a child has to keep skiing in equipment that no longer fits. Sno-Haus allows seasonal rental equipment to be brought back for a resize or adjustment during the season. Exchanges depend on appropriate rental inventory being available.
That is one reason seasonal rentals can work well for younger skiers: the goal is to fit the child for the skier they are now rather than intentionally putting them in oversized boots or skis in hopes of getting another year out of the equipment.
What should we bring to a kids’ rental fitting?
Bring a valid photo ID, a form of payment and the ski socks the child expects to wear on the mountain. Someone age 18 or older must be present to sign for the equipment.
Use one normal ski sock for the fitting rather than doubling up socks. The rental team needs to evaluate the boot fit under realistic skiing conditions.
Sno-Haus does not rent helmets, so families who need a helmet should plan to purchase a properly fitted one separately.
Where can we get fitted?
Sno-Haus offers seasonal rentals at all three Long Island stores: Huntington in Suffolk County, plus Greenvale and Hempstead in Nassau County. You can check current addresses and hours on the Sno-Haus store locations page.
Seasonal rental gear must ultimately be returned to the same location where it was rented.
When do seasonal rentals have to be returned?
For a normal seasonal rental, Sno-Haus provides two return opportunities: by March 15 of the current ski season, or after the stores reopen the following September through October 15. Returns after the final October 15 deadline can result in the refundable deposit being forfeited.
