Black Tie Ski rental is by far the best place to rent ski and snowboard equipment in Mt. Crested Butte. They come to your hotel or residence with everything. Our boots were brand new with the paper stuffing still in them. Had a small problem with my husbands boots and in less than 15 minutes they were at our hotel with a new pair. For a few dollars more than other places on the mountain you will get excellent service! Very well worth it!
