For families looking for seasonal ski rentals in Westchester, Greenwich, and surrounding areas, there’s a long-standing tradition that signals the true start of ski season: a trip to Hickory & Tweed Ski and Cycle.

And while there’s no bad time to get your gear in order, August and September are the golden window—because that’s when you can save 15% on your ski and snowboard seasonal rentals and get your choice of our best equipment.

But let’s be clear: leasing from Hickory & Tweed isn’t just about a discount. It’s about making smart choices for your family, getting properly fitted ski equipment from seasoned pros, and ensuring a safer, more enjoyable season on the slopes.

 

Why Seasonal Ski Rentals & Leasing Make Sense

1. Kids Grow. Gear Doesn’t.

If you’ve bought ski gear for a growing child, you know the pain. That shiny new setup you paid top dollar for last season? It doesn’t fit anymore.

With a seasonal ski rental or lease, that stress disappears. Your child can be properly fitted every year without the cost of buying new equipment that may only get used for a few weekends before it's outgrown.

2. Try New Equipment Every Year

From new ski shapes to upgraded boot technology, gear gets better every year. When you lease, you and your kids get to experience equipment from top ski brands like Blizzard, Nordica, Volkl, Black Crows, and more, without the full retail commitment.

It’s like test-driving some of the best the industry has to offer every season.

3. It’s Not Just for Season-Long Use

Planning a family trip to Vermont? A ski weekend with friends? You don’t necessarily need to commit to a season-long lease.

Renting for the full season makes sense if you want to ensure you're getting the best selection, you're going on multiple trips, or you're spending weekends on the slopes.

But Hickory & Tweed also offersdaily, weekend, and short-term ski rentals, giving Westchester and Greenwich skiers access to quality gear without dealing with the rental-shop hassle once they arrive at the mountain.

Early Birds Get the Best Ski Gear — And the Best Appointment Times

Lease season begins August 1st, and with it comes a 15% early-bird discount for both returning and new customers who lease in August and September.

As always, there isNO deposit required.

But beyond the savings, there’s a bigger reason to arrange your seasonal ski rentals early.

Why Leasing Earlier Is Better

✅ More fitting appointment slots to choose from — weekends fill fast

✅ Wider selection of ski and snowboard equipment in your size

✅ More time to get comfortable in your boots before your first trip

✅ Avoid the October and November rush

✅ Peace of mind heading into ski season

Your kids will thank you, and so will your future self when you're not stuck in a rental line trying to get gear two days before a big dump of fresh powder.

 

Expert Ski & Equipment Fittings: Why They Matter

Let’s talk about something that doesn't get covered a lot:ski fitting appointments.

At Hickory & Tweed, these aren’t five-minute sizing guesses. They’re a key part of what makes the seasonal rental and leasing experience here different.

Each fitting appointment is done in-store by experienced staff who understand ski boots, equipment sizing and how the right setup changes depending on the skier.

They’ll take the time to make sure:

  • The boots aren’t too tight or too loose
  • Your child’s stance and ability level match the ski length
  • Everything is safe, properly adjusted and comfortable

Because great gear is only great if it fits the right way. And when it does, skiing becomes more enjoyable and less tiring.

It's harder to find this combination of high-quality equipment, hands-on care, and flexible rental options at a resort or big-box chain.

That’s why so manyWestchester and Greenwich families return to Hickory & Tweed year after year.

Still in Biking Mode? That’s Cool Too

We know—it’s still sunny out. Biking season is going full-bore here in Westchester and Greenwich. We’re still tuning bikes and getting riders outfitted with top gear.

But if you’re even thinking about skiing this year, now is the time to get on the calendar.

Waiting until October or November can mean fewer equipment options and longer waits.

 

Is Seasonal Ski Leasing Worth It If I Only Ski a Few Times?

Absolutely.

The idea that seasonal ski rentals are only for season-pass holders just isn’t true.

If you:

  • Have growing kids
  • Want to avoid waiting in line at the mountain rental shop
  • Want better-fitting boots
  • Value quality equipment
  • Ski several weekends or take a few trips during the winter

then a seasonal ski rental can still make a lot of sense.

And if your plans really are limited to one trip or weekend, Hickory & Tweed also offers short-term and weekend ski rentals.
