At Forbush Corner, we understand the challenge of outfitting growing kids with properly fitting skis and boots. That’s why we offer our Rent-to-Own Kids Program, designed to make cross-country skiing more affordable. This five-year program ensures young skiers have equipment that grows with them, and by the end of the program—or once their growth spurt slows—they’ll leave with a high-quality set of XC skis, boots, and poles to call their own.
Each year, the skier will be provided with a properly fitted set of high-quality rental skis, boots, and poles. The cost of the rental decreases each year they remain in the program, which spans five consecutive years. At the end of the program, they’ll receive a brand-new set of skis, boots, and poles to keep.
If they participate for fewer than five years, 66% of the total rental fees paid will be credited toward the purchase of a new ski package.
Please note: Customers are responsible for any excessive wear or damage to the rental equipment.
Check with staff in the shop about the current cost of the program.
