For families 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. And while there’s no bad time to get your gear in order, early August and September are the golden window—because that’s when you can save 15% on your ski and snowboard lease.
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 the best-fitting gear from seasoned pros, and ensuring a safer, more enjoyable season on the slopes.
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 leasing, that stress disappears. Your child is always in properly fitted gear, every year, without the cost of buying new equipment that only gets used for a few weekends.
From new ski shapes to upgraded boot technology, gear gets better every year. When you lease, you and your kids get to experience the latest equipment from top brands like Blizzard, Nordica, Volkl, Black Crows, and more. But without the full retail commitment. It’s like test-driving the best the industry has to offer, every single season.
Planning a family trip to Vermont? A ski weekend with friends? You don’t need to commit to a season-long lease.
Renting for the full season makes sense if you really want to ensure you're getting the best selection, if going on multiple trips, or spending weekends on the slopes.
But Hickory & Tweed also offers short-term rentals for weekends or one-off trips, giving you top-level gear with none of the rental shop hassle at the resort.
Leasing 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.
But beyond the savings, there’s a bigger reason to lease early:
✅ More appointment slots to choose from (weekends fill fast!)
✅ Wider selection of equipment in your size
✅ More time to break in boots before your first trip
✅ Avoid the October/November rush
✅ Peace of mind heading into the season
Your kids will thank you, and so will your future self when you're not stuck in a line trying to get gear two days before a big dump of fresh powder.
Let’s talk about something that doesn't get covered a lot: fitting appointments. At Hickory & Tweed, these aren’t five-minute sizing guesses. They’re a key part of what makes the leasing experience here different—and far better.
Each fitting appointment is done in-store, by expert staff, with decades of combined experience fitting boots and sizing skis. 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 fun, less tiring, and way safer.
It's harder to find this combination of high-end equipment, hands-on care, and flexible options at the resort or big-box chain. That’s why so many families return year after year.
We know—it’s still sunny out. Biking season is goingfull-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 might leave you with fewer options and longer waits.
Absolutely. The myth that leasing is 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 high-performance gear over resort junk
Hate dragging equipment through airports
Then leasing makes sense—even if you only ski a few weekends per year.
Getting started is easy and low-stress. Just follow these three steps:
Head over to the appointment request page and lock in your spot early.

Come in and we’ll walk you through everything—sizing, stance, comfort, and more.
Your gear will be tuned and ready when the season kicks off. No stress. No lines.

And remember: Lease in August or September and get 15% off.
