Winter Starts September 12: Sno-Haus Reopens for Rentals, Boot Fitting, Gear & Workshop Services

As our final Long Island patio season comes to a close, the team at Sno-Haus is already looking forward to what comes next. We are excited to announce that all Sno-Haus winter stores will reopen on September 12 for ski and snowboard rentals, expert boot fitting, winter gear, clothing, accessories, tuning, repairs, and workshop services.

For skiers, snowboarders, families, and winter travelers across Long Island, reopening day is the perfect opportunity to start preparing for the season before the first trip appears on the calendar. Whether you need to reserve seasonal rentals, replace growing kids’ equipment, find better-fitting boots, upgrade your outerwear, or bring your equipment in for service, our experienced team is ready to help.

Seasonal Ski and Snowboard Rentals Return September 12

Beginning September 12, customers can visit Sno-Haus to get started with ski rentals and snowboard rentals for the upcoming winter season.

Shopping early allows you to take advantage of our pre-season discounts and get one important task checked off before winter travel begins. It can be especially helpful for families who need to outfit multiple children or determine how much someone has grown since last season.

Our team can help match each skier or rider with equipment suited to their size, ability level, and experience. We work with everyone from first-time beginners preparing for lessons to experienced families who return to the mountain every year.

Rental equipment and sizing availability can change throughout the season, so we recommend visiting early or calling your preferred Sno-Haus store for current information.

Equipment still rented from the 2025/26 season is due back by October 15 at the latest. Come in early to re-rent for the pre-season rate. 

Expert Ski Boot Fitting on Long Island

Comfortable, properly fitted boots can make a major difference during a day on the mountain. Boots that are too large may reduce control, while boots that are too tight or shaped incorrectly can lead to pressure points, discomfort, and shorter days on the slopes.

At Sno-Haus, boot fitting is more than simply choosing your regular shoe size. Our experienced staff considers foot shape, width, volume, ability level, and the way you plan to ski. You can compare different models in person, ask questions, and receive practical guidance before choosing a pair.

Visiting a local ski shop for boot fitting also allows you to explain issues you experienced with previous boots. Whether your old pair caused heel movement, toe pressure, numbness, or general discomfort, those details can help guide the fitting process.

Starting September 12, customers can visit our winter stores for help finding ski boots that provide the right balance of comfort, support, and performance.

New Winter Gear, Clothing and Accessories

Reopening day also marks the return of winter shopping at Sno-Haus. Our stores will be stocked for the season with ski and snowboard equipment, outerwear, helmets, goggles, gloves, and other mountain essentials.

Shopping for winter gear in person gives you the opportunity to compare fit, warmth, comfort, and features before making a decision. You can try on jackets with the layers you normally wear, check how goggles fit with a helmet, and compare glove styles based on warmth and dexterity.

Prepare for the Season with the Right Essentials

• Ski and snowboard equipment: Explore options for different experience levels and riding styles.
• Winter jackets and outerwear: Compare fit, insulation, mobility, and weather protection.
• Helmets and goggles: Find compatible equipment that fits comfortably together.
• Gloves and accessories: Prepare for changing mountain conditions with practical cold-weather essentials.
• Boots: Get experienced assistance instead of guessing at size and fit online.

Our goal is to help you understand the differences and select gear that makes sense for your needs, experience, and upcoming trips.

Ski and Snowboard Workshop Services

Equipment that has been stored since last winter may need attention before returning to the mountain. Skis and snowboards can benefit from professional tuning and service to help restore their bases and edges after regular use.

Beginning September 12, Sno-Haus workshop services will reopen for the winter season. Customers can bring in skis or snowboards for available tuning and repair services before upcoming trips.

Bringing equipment in early helps you avoid discovering a service issue immediately before departure. It also gives you time to inspect the rest of your setup, try on boots, and replace any clothing or accessories that no longer fit or perform as expected.

Service options and turnaround times may vary based on the equipment and time of year. Call your preferred store for current workshop information before an upcoming trip.

Why Start Preparing for Winter in September?

It may feel early to think about skiing and snowboarding while Long Island is still enjoying mild weather, but September is one of the best times to prepare. Starting early means fewer last-minute decisions and more time to make sure everyone has equipment that fits.

• Check whether children have outgrown last season’s boots, jackets, helmets, or gloves.
• Arrange seasonal rentals before winter travel dates get closer.
• Bring personal equipment in for tuning or repairs.
• Replace worn or uncomfortable boots with help from an experienced fitter.
• Try on clothing and accessories before you need them.
• Prepare gradually instead of rushing immediately before a trip.

Early preparation is especially valuable for families planning holiday travel, school-break trips, or weekend visits to the mountains. Once the season becomes busy, having rentals, equipment, and service needs handled can make the entire trip feel easier.

Your Local Long Island Ski Shop Since 1959

Sno-Haus has served Long Island families and winter sports enthusiasts since 1959. Generations of customers have visited us for practical advice, dependable service, seasonal rentals, boot fitting, and equipment support.

Unlike shopping from an online-only retailer, visiting a Sno-Haus store allows you to see products in person, compare options, try on equipment, and speak with people who understand skiing and snowboarding. That showroom experience is particularly important when fit, comfort, and equipment compatibility matter.

Starting September 12, our Huntington, Greenvale, and Hempstead winter stores will be ready to welcome customers back for another season. Whether you are preparing for your first lesson or upgrading equipment after years on the mountain, we look forward to helping you get ready.
