Frequently Asked Questions

How many extra ski sets should I have beyond my daily customer count?
Most rental shops keep a 20-30% buffer above their average daily customer count. This accounts for multi-day rentals that overlap, peak days that exceed the average, and equipment that is out for maintenance or repair. A 30% buffer means if you serve 100 customers per day, you need about 130 ski sets in inventory.
Which boot sizes should I stock the most of?
For men, Mondo 27.0-28.0 (US 9-10) are the highest-demand sizes, typically making up 40% of male rentals. For women, Mondo 24.0-26.0 (US 7-9) are the sweet spot. For kids, sizes cluster around Mondo 19.5-21.0. Stock more of the middle sizes and fewer at the extremes. This calculator uses industry-standard distribution curves to give you specific numbers.
Should I buy new or used rental ski equipment?
New equipment costs more upfront but lasts longer, performs better, and carries manufacturer warranty. Used rental fleet equipment can be purchased from other shops at the end of their lifecycle at 30-50% of retail. Many successful shops run a mix - newer gear for their premium packages and older gear for budget rentals. Replace equipment every 3-5 seasons depending on use.
