Utah Ski & Golf

Best selection of skis for when my friends come into town. Lots of new gear and they get you out fast. Their gold package is a great deal compared to the demos I’ve seen people try out up in Park City.

I stopped in for the first time last week on the hunt for a pair of boots for myself and a pair of skis for my son. As my teenage son is in his second year of skiing and growing fast, I was looking for some used skis. The staff directed me upstairs where I easily found the used gear. After browsing through it and not seeing any prices listed, I asked an employee where I could find used prices. He replied by asking what piece of gear I was inquiring about, and stated that prices aren’t marked and that if needed he could go downstairs and ask the manager for a price. At that I quickly decided I was done with the shop. There were over a dozen pairs of used skis that would have easily worked fine for my son, and my decision would be 95% based on price. If they can’t take the time to mark prices, I’m not going to stick around while an employee chases down the manager for a price on each piece of gear I’m interested in. Their loss as later in the day I bought a pair of boots and three sets of used skis/​bindings at another shop that had clearly marked prices.

Similar experience to Jane who received terrible customer service. I was unimpressed. My hotel raved about the service and gave me a coupon. The person at the counter was so condescending about helping me that I’d rather pay full price in park city than use this discount… Since I was there and the store was dead empty, the least he could’ve done was measure. When you have a company of 600+ people staying nearby, many who will stay and ski, you’d think a business would want to make a positive impression. But not this bozo. I was there on 2/​20, too, so probably got the same person that Jane encountered.

Absolutely TERRIBLE customer service. We are from the east coast and thought renting skiis near the hotel would be easy… and also bc we had a coupon for UT Ski and Golf.
From the minute we walked in the door, the manager was so rude and condescending. Even our kids asked what was wrong.
It must be the culture of the company bc – same nastiness when we returned our skiis. Incredible.
**AVOID THIS BUSINESS at any cost. Go ANYWHERE but UT Ski and Golf to rent your equipment.**
We had a great time skiing Alta and Brighton during our visit to UT — despite this terrible experience.
FYI– I’ve never written a negative review on Unilocal before.

Great service — the kids rental program is phenomenal! $ 350 until they outgrow their skis and boots! They are quick and courteous when changing sizes for our growing kids — thanks Utah Ski and Golf!

The staff are what really makes the difference here– great service, local knowledge of where to go on what day of the week, and a no hassle swap when your equipment isn’t quite right for your skill level or comfort zone. I usually don’t post anything about service or shops unless it is outstanding — this is the place.

Quick and easy stop to get set up with skis. It close to the air port for pick up and drop off. They have a lot of newer skis.

First time to Salt Lake and found this place next our hotel. We rented all our ski equipment here and bought our lift tickets. Amazing staff that are very friendly, fast and efficient. That had us in and out in minutes. Can’t wait to come back.

Friendly guys! Affordable package on rental equipment!

We were in town from San Diego and needed to rent skis for the whole family. Obviously, there is not a lot Of skiing in Southern California, so were not sure what we needed. They were helpful and honest. They did not try to up sell is, but mad sure we were prepared. Great job!

We needed skis for our whole family and we decided to stop here. I am so glad we did because the were fast, nice, and helpful. Such a great way to start off a ski vacation.

These guys are great I have been going there for 10 years for their kids ski program. Today I walked in at 715pm & they were closed the guy remaining asked me what I needed to which I explained a trade in of my daughter’s skiis (through their great program) to which he answered let’s get you set up, despite being closed:). Very pleased with their service and selection. On POW days can get very busy so go early or the night before. Newly remodeled and good retail space.

THE BEST and FASTEST ski rental place in Salt Lake City. Friendly staff and great equipment. My dad got brand new boots with his rental. We were in and out in 15 min while renting the skis and boots, the return took 2 min.

We’ve been renting from Utah Ski & Golf for more than 20 years. Just rented 3 complete ski packages and we were extremely pleased with the equipment. They took new skiis out of the package for our son! Great customer service employees — tried really hard to get a perfect boot fit. Turning in the skiis at Park City after renting in Salt Lake is a huge plus. Love Utah Ski & Gold!

I rented skis from this place. They are extremely rude and charged $ 1200 to my credit card for damage I did not do. Don’t ever rent from this place.

Nothing too exciting here. Rented some skis and the people were nice. The place wasn’t busy so I did not have to wait for service. The skis were okay but then I don’t really know skis. I wished they had told me about their online reservation so I could have save a few bucks. Next time I guess.

When your opting for renting your equipment that morning visit can decide the outcome of the whole day. you don’t want to find out that your boots don’t fit when your out on the slope, you want your ski shop to get everything right and get you out fast. The crew at the this store does just that and more, I dealt with multiple people they were all ready to help and exceeded my expectation, the equipment fitting was perfect and used the equipment for several days

Having rented ski gear from a few other places in the past, I can honestly say that the service at Utah Ski and Golf was nothing short of top notch.
The guys in the shop were attentive, knowledgeable and overall very helpful. I originally had rented for two days but kept everything for an additional day. No issue or hassle from the folks at Utah Ski and Golf — very easy to deal with.
Also, my girlfriend opted out of the second day of skiing and returned her gear after 1 day. She asked if they would issue a refund for the second day — which she had prepaid for — as she wouldn’t be skiing. They gave her the refund, no questions asked. Super easy to deal with.
Again, if you want a knowledgeable and friendly place to rent from at very competitive prices, this is your spot.

It’s hard to believe I’ve been renting skis and snowboards here for my Utah snow escapades going back to the early 1990s.
Let’s face it, going to a ski rental shop on your vacation is probably about as much fun as visiting the post office on your lunch hour, shopping on Black Friday, or going to the dentist. That is to say, it pretty much sucks. After a long flight, when all you want to do is 1) drink and eat at a local brewpub and 2) crash in your hotel room (in that order), the last thing you want is to hit up a place crowded silly with children, and struggle to put on a pair of horribly uncomfortable ski boots more suited for the use of torturing prisoners in a Siberian gulag than any kind of recreational application. However, unless you want to purchase your own equipment and pay through the nose transporting it from your home to the slopes, it’s a necessary ritual.
After you fill out all the forms, upon one of which you will inevitably claim you are a better skier than you really are, the other releasing the shop of liability in the event you kill or otherwise maim yourself on the slopes, they will start fitting you for boots and skis. There are a few different levels of equipment you can rent. Resist the urge to be impatient and just take whatever they give you, because ski boots can turn a perfect day on the mountain into sheer misery. The staff here will work with you to find equipment that won’t kill your feet.
Of course, I don’t have this problem with ski boots anymore, since I snowboard. At US&G, there’s a dedicated snowboard area upstairs. The rental process will be much the same; however, it tends to be significantly quicker up there since you don’t have the typical uncomfortable-​ski-​boot drama going on. And, for a small premium, you can demo some of the newer boards.
Service is about as good as it can be. Outfitting tourists with equipment isn’t easy; staff here performs admirably under conditions that would test my patience. Prices are reasonable and competitive, and the shop can be easily accessed from the myriad downtown SLC hotels. Discounts on lift tickets are also available — while these discounts typically only amount to a couple bucks, they can add up over the course of a trip, and may also save you from standing in a cold line for tickets at the mountain. Inquire within as to which tickets are available.

I very rarely write reviews but this was a great experience. We came in to rent skis and they immediately helped us find exactly what we were looking for in about ten minutes. On top of that a friend and I were both given discounts without even asking for them. As we were checking out we got to talking about taking the bus up to alt a. Our hotel had told us to take the light rail to catch the bus since we did not have a car. The guy that worked there named Sandy informed us that this was incorrect and the buseswerent running yet. He then called around to rental car places to try and get us a car. Not only did he get us a $ 40 discount from the price they had quoted me, he drove us to budget in his car ! The service here was unbelievable I will come here every time I come back.
