How should you prepare to collect ski rental in Mayrhofen?

Collecting your ski rental in Mayrhofen is much easier when you arrive with your booking proof, accurate measurements and the right socks for fitting.


Greenroom handles local collection and fitting for equipment booked through RentSki.info, so a little preparation helps the team match skis, boots, snowboards, poles and helmets more efficiently.


It also helps you leave the shop with equipment you can identify, store safely and return for adjustment if something does not feel right.


Bring your order proof and measurements

When you come to the ski rental shop, bring proof of your order. This can be shown on your phone or printed on paper.


For each person hiring equipment, it is useful to have:

  • height in metres

  • weight in KG

  • accurate foot size

  • skiing or snowboarding ability level

  • age, especially for children and teenagers

  • any comfort notes, such as wide feet or previous boot problems


These details are not just admin. They help the fitting team choose suitable equipment and set ski bindings correctly. Bindings are designed to release in certain falls or incidents, and accurate height, weight, boot information and ability level all help staff choose the right setting. No binding setting can prevent every injury, so never change rental bindings yourself.


For children, check height, weight and shoe size shortly before travelling. Children can grow quickly, and old measurements may lead to slower fitting or less accurate equipment choices.


Wear the right socks for ski boot fitting

For the best ski boot fit, wear thin, good-quality ski socks when you collect your boots. Thick socks can create pressure points, reduce control and make the boot feel tighter than it should.


A ski boot should feel secure around the foot, ankle and lower leg. Your heel should not lift around inside the boot, but significant pain, numbness or restricted circulation is not something to tolerate.


Do not try to modify rental boots. If boots feel wrong after collection, return to Greenroom for advice or adjustment. Stop skiing if you have severe pain, numbness or restricted circulation.


Snowboard boots should also be fitted with proper snowboard socks. They should feel snug, with the heel held securely, but not painfully tight.


Check your skis before leaving Greenroom

Before leaving the shop, take a minute to check every person’s equipment.

Make sure each skier has skis, boots and poles. If helmets or other extras are part of your booking, check those too before you leave.


A useful tip is to photograph each person’s skis and poles. Include any ski number, sticker, colour, brand mark or other identifying feature. This makes it easier to identify your equipment at a busy lift station, restaurant or ski rack.

Families can also make a simple note on the phone, such as “Tom: black and red Head

skis, number 42”. This can save time when several people are trying to find similar rental skis at the same time.


Store equipment safely on Ahorn and Penken

On the mountain, do not leave rental equipment loose or unattended for longer than necessary. Mayrhofen has official ski depot and locker options around the Ahornbahn and Penkenbahn areas, including depots or lockers at valley and mountain station locations. Availability and fees can change, so check locally before relying on a particular locker.


Official Mayrhofen information lists ski depot options at the Ahornbahn valley station and a smaller number of lockers at the Ahornbahn mountain station. For Penkenbahn, it lists ski depot options at the valley station and a ski depot at the mountain station. If you stop at a mountain hut, place skis and poles carefully in a rack rather than leaving them in a walkway.


A common skier’s tip is to split pairs: put one ski and one pole in one rack, and the other ski and pole in another nearby rack, or swap one ski with someone in your group. This can reduce the chance of someone taking the wrong pair or making a quick opportunistic theft easier.

For the most secure option, use a proper ski depot or lockable storage where available.
