Ski Rental Equipment in Lincoln, NH
SKI RENTAL OPTIONSI am frequently asked if one should rent equipment at the Mountain or in town at one of the many fine rental establishments. Her are my thoughts on each option based on feedback from previous guests and visitors. If you rent at the mountain you, it will be more expensive. However, if you need to have any repairs or adjustments done all you have to do is ski over to the rental shop and they will correct the issue.
If you rent at one of the shops in town you will pay a lower price. If you have any issues with the equipment then you will need to return to that shop to have it corrected. Most people do not have issues when they rent equipment, but figured I should throw it out there.
Hint: Get fitted for boots at night as that is when your feet are their biggest. Your feet swell a little bit during the day, this way your feet will not be squeezed into a tight boot by the end of the day.
Loon Mountain has their rental shop located in the Governor Adams Lodge. Please click here for more information.
Cannon Mountain has their rental shop located on the Upper Level of the Peabody Base Lodge located off Exit 34C on I-93. Please click here for more information.
There are several Ski & Snowboard establishments in Lincoln, NH that offer Ski & Snowboard equipment rentals out side of the Ski Areas.

Several different types of evergreen grow in the White Mountain National Forest. Many people
prefer the balsam fir because of fragrance and needle retention. Others prefer the spruce because of the fullness of the branches and the classic shape. Keep in mind that a wild tree may not have the perfect appearance of a commercial tree. Be prepared to do some real searching.
Somewhere out there is your ideal Christmas tree!
