Dallas Morning News - Dallas,TX,USA
Until recently, I traveled with my own skis, poles and boots to U.S. and foreign resorts. But I stopped that practice to avoid the hassle of schlepping my own baggage.
A growing trend in ski rentals is the convenience of in-room equipment fitting by Black Tie Ski Rentals.
My introduction to in-room fitting was with Black Tie. Its technicians appeared at my condominium, as scheduled, upon my arrival in Park City, Utah. After I chose from the gear they brought, they custom-fit my skis, boots and helmet. At my trip’s conclusion, Black Tie picked up the equipment.
Black Tie serves 21 winter destinations in Colorado, Utah, Montana, California and British Columbia. Details: 1-888-333-4754; www.blacktieskis.com.
