Hi Everyone and welcome to the virtual edition of White Pass Sports Hut in Packwood. This will be our 31st season in the winter sports business and we are excited to bring you another season of personal service and quality rental equipment.
If you prefer one-on-one customer service by trained, knowledgeable employees, freshly waxed and well maintained ski and snowboard rental gear, a reservation system that allows you to reserve your equipment the day before you drive up and low prices, COME ON IN, you've found it!
BEST BIG NEWS FOR 2008-2009No Price Increases at the Sports Hut!!!
Other rental shops have decided to react to the struggling economy by RAISING THEIR RATES! A ski package at other rental shops is $25 or higher!
We will not raise a single rate this year, it's already hard enough to buy gas, rent gear and buy lift tickets. White Pass has also raised all lift tickets, mid-week rates increased $4.00 so we understand that helping you keep your winter recreation expenses is important.
We will be renting all of our top-quality products at last years low rates. $17.64 for full adult ski package. Unlike the Pass we have also decided not to increase snowboard rental prices, virtually ALL of our rental rates will be the same as 2007-08. We know how hard it is to afford recreation in today's economy and we want you to be able to afford as many ski trips for you and your family as you can. We still promise a fresh hot wax on every ski and board we rent.
We have new snowboards and boots from Flow and all of our rentals now offer the easy-on, easy-off Flow bindings that have caused so much excitement. If you haven't seen the Flow system yet, stop by for an operational demonstration. We also have new alpine ski and boot rentals from the wonderful Head Ski family.
If your preferences lean more toward the leisurely than the gravity battlers, we have plenty of Snowshoe and Cross-Country ski rentals on hand for you.
Equipment tune-ups and maintenance have always been an important part of our operation and we'll be happy to make the investment you have in your gear mean more by bringing the performance level of your gear up to the level the manufacturer intended.
We still offer Columbia Sportswear, Scott Goggles, Kombi Gloves and the other accessories you expect to find at the Sports Hut and if you just need to rent pants, jackets, goggles or gloves for the day, we do that, too.
Ski and binding technician, George Satterfield, is back with me for his fourth season. Be sure to drop off your skis or snowboard for one of George's famous hand tune-ups. Like why pay $50 for a lift ticket and ski on equipment that doesn't work right? You know what they say, "Let George do it!"
We still hand-wax skis and snowboards with top-quality Swix and Toko waxes while you wait and still charge 1990's prices: Skis $6.50, Snowboards $9.28.
Stop in to our Packwood shop the next time you plan to visit White Pass and experience equipment rental the way it ought to be. Oh, yeah, we still don't require $300 deposits on Snowboard rentals like so many of our competitors do.
Stop on in, we want to be YOUR ski rental shop!
