The benefits are many. With your own gear, you can get on the slopes faster, without the need to wait in line at rental shops. For both skis and snowboards, rental options are usually limited, generic and very costly. Having your own boots also ensures better hygiene. Imagine having to rent a pair of running shoes or a cycling helmet! Equipment lasts for years, and you can recoup the cost of purchasing it, on average, within two rental periods
