Snow ShedSnow Shed rental

Snow shed is now closed. We will see you in 2024.

Rent your snow gear from Unipol's Snow Shed.

Spend less time waiting in lines and more time hitting the slopes by taking the stress out of the gear hiring process and paying a fraction of the cost. Our staff are trained to fit you with the gear that will best suit your size and skill level, leaving you to get straight up that mountain without any hassle.

Skis, ski boots, snowboards and snowboard boots require fitting and therefore need to be fitted. All other gear can be rented during Unipol opening hours.

Please note that public rentals are available at twice the listed student rate.

Presentation of your current valid Otago tertiary ID card is required at time of renting.
