[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's been said above, but just to reinforce it: Rent your equipment near where you live, if you have room in your vehicle for travelling with  it.  That way, you can rent better stuff, and try it on leisurely in a comfortable store.  In Baltimore, Princeton Sports has some good stuff.  They offer renting by the day/week or by the season.  Like someone else said, if you wait until right before a big holiday weekend, they may not have your boot size, or may be out of skiis to rent.  This has happened to me.

The other reason to rent at home is so you don't get stuck in that horrendous "rent equipment" line at the ski slopes.  It's so frustrating to figure out the right size to wear and how to put on the ski boots, etc., when you are hot and sweaty and trying to find a spot to sit down and it's super crowded.

My family has a saying for the 'getting equipment' on part of skiing.  "The first part of skiing is not the fun part."  Just do what you can to make it a quick part.[/quote]

Thanks, PP.  Baltimore is about an hour 's drive for us.  Does anyone have recommendations for good equipment rental places closer to DC or NOVA?   [/quote]

There is ski shop in NW DC called the Ski Center. It's behind Crate and Barrel on Mass, near AU.[/quote]
