“The timing is perfect to open a Black Tie Ski Rentals in Telluride. The town has been waiting for a high end, guest orientated service like this for years.

About Black Tie Ski Rental Delivery:
Black Tie Delivery Ski Rentals was founded by Joe Sternberg and Ian Prichard in Steamboat Springs, Colorado in the winter of 2002-2003. After breaking down the walls of your traditional ski shop with their unique delivery approach the two young entrepreneurs continued to redefine the way people think about renting skis by providing the highest levels of personalized service and only carrying the newest and highest quality equipment.

Black Tie Skis, one of the originators of ski rental delivery, prides itself on a straightforward personalized rental process: reservations are made online or direct at a Black Tie location; premium-brand equipment is delivered and custom fit by a personal ski concierge at the most convenient time and place; slope side assistance service is available if needed; and equipment is picked up at an agreed upon location. With all locations owned and operated, Black Tie Skis provides personalized service, exceptional equipment, and a convenience level that traditional rental facilities can not match.

Black Tie Ski Rentals offer the most complete ski rental delivery network in North America. Locations include: Aspen/Snowmass, Big Sky/Moonlight Basin, Breckenridge/Keystone, Crested Butte, North Lake Tahoe, South Lake Tahoe, Park City/Deer Valley/The Canyons, Steamboat, Vail/Beaver Creek, Telluride, and Whistler, B.C.
