Mt. Baker Places Gear & rentals Glacier, WA
Glacier Ski Shop
Rentals for everything — skis, boards, splitboards, snowshoes, and backcountry kit
When guests need gear, this is where we send them. Glacier Ski Shop runs out of two buildings on the highway through Glacier: the log cabin at 9966 Mt Baker Hwy handles rentals and repairs, and the showroom at 9946 handles retail and boot fitting (that side has its own line, (360) 441-6357).
The rental list covers nearly everything you’d point at this mountain: downhill skis, snowboards, telemark and cross-country setups, snowshoes, splitboards, and alpine-touring rigs, plus the backcountry safety kit — shovels, probes, skins, crampons, ice axes. Renting snowshoes here is the easiest way into the routes in our snowshoeing guide.
Sort your gear out here rather than hoping to solve it farther up the road — Glacier is the last town before the ski area.
What rentals cost
Daily rates from their rental page, checked August 31, 2026. Equipment rents by the day, and multi-day rentals work the same way — a late return is charged as another day.

|---|---|---|---|
| Alpine ski package | $59 | $39 | $29 |
| Premium alpine package | $69 | — | — |
| Snowboard package | $59 | $39 | $30 |
| Splitboard package | $89 | — | — |
| Alpine touring w/ skins | $89 | — | — |

Backcountry pieces rent à la carte: a backcountry kit at $50, climbing skins $50, shovel and probe $30, crampons $20, ice axe $20, poles $10, backpack $10.
If you’ll be up several weekends, price the season packages instead — $195 to $295 for skis or a board by age tier, $100 to $195 for boots. Six days of rentals is roughly the break-even.
The summer e-bike season has wrapped: their own site now posts that the showroom and rental shop reopen October 10, 2026 with weekend-only fall hours, and doesn’t say what (if anything) is happening in the gap between Labor Day and that date. Online orders still ship daily in the meantime. If you’re driving up before October 10, call ahead — the summer schedule we verified in August (Fri–Sun e-bikes and showroom) is gone from the site.
Know before you go
- Two buildings: rentals and repairs at 9966 (the log cabin), showroom and boot work at 9946
- Their site posts a hard reopen date: October 10, 2026, with fall hours of Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m. — no listed hours for the last three weeks of September (checked September 26, 2026)
- Call the rental shop at (360) 599-1943 before driving up right now — don’t assume the doors are open just because the site is
- They rent gear, not beds — no lodging here, whatever an old directory says
