Our Ski and Snowboard Rental Shop
Youth Enrichment Services (YES) Rental Shop is a selective ski and snowboard rental shop that provides subsidized rentals to youth, volunteers, and families who enroll directly in our Operation Snowsports program. We are committed to upholding industry standards, and providing our participants with quality, safe, and maintained gear to allow them to summit life’s challenges on the slopes. YES could not provide these experiences without the generous support of our past and present ski industry partners. A list of our 2021-2023 partners can be found below.
