Rentals are available for both the Alpine and Nordic experiences so if you do not bring your own gear, the helpful folks at the rental shop have got you covered!

Bachelor’s uniquely long season, reliable snowpack, and expansive terrain will provide the mountain experience that you and your family are searching for. All that is left to do is book your trip!
