The best ski rental software does more than take bookings: it gets a family fitted, set and out the door on a peak Saturday morning. That means sizes collected before arrival, DIN settings worked out from each skier's profile, boot sizes remembered from the last visit, waivers signed at home, and a counter that rings up rentals, retail and tune tickets together. Most tools handle the reservation well; the differences show up at the fitting bench, the register and the return rack.
This guide compares nine tools sold as ski and snowboard rental software: Ribbe, Wintersteiger Easyrent, BRM (Bike Rental Manager), Valet, Rentrax, TWICE, RentalTide, Checkfront and Booqable. Competitor details come from each vendor's own ski page and pricing page, reviewed in October 2026, and prices appear only where the vendor publishes them. Ribbe publishes this guide; see how we approach ski rental software for shops and resorts.
On a holiday morning the line is out the door before the lifts open, and every skier needs skis or a snowboard, boots, poles and a helmet sized to them. Look for:
Pre-arrival sizing. Height, weight, ability and boot size entered at booking, for every person in the group.
Stored fit profiles. A returning skier's details and last boot size carry over.
DIN support. A release-setting range worked out from the profile, and a record of what was set.
Packages that become real gear. A package sold online, then tied by scanning to the specific skis and boots handed over.
Multi-day and season rentals, with returns scanned in and late fees applied.
Waivers before arrival, signed on the guest's phone, with guardian consent for minors.
Retail, tuning and lockers on the same system as rentals.
Line management. A fast lane or kiosk so pre-booked guests and walk-ups do not block each other.

Ribbe runs ski and snowboard rental for single shops and for resorts with several rental locations, combining online reservations, a rental point of sale, equipment fitting, digital waivers, retail, repairs and payments. Guests book through a booking widget or branded booking site with live availability, enter sizes for each skier from home, and sign the waiver sent with their confirmation. Ski, boot, pole and helmet packages and snowboard packages sell at package prices, and one reservation can hold a whole family.
At the bench, Ribbe keeps a fit profile for each skier with height, weight, ability level and boot size. Its fitting station calculates a DIN release range from the rider profile and stores the setting for the next visit, synced between a base shop and a satellite counter. Saved boot sizes let staff stage boots for returning renters before they reach the bench. Ribbe does not adjust the binding or choose a ski length; your technician still does that.
The rental point of sale puts the rental and retail items such as goggles and gloves in one transaction. Scanning ties each ski and boot to the rental, multi-day returns are scanned back in with late fees applied automatically, and express rental screens keep walk-ups moving while pre-booked guests go straight to fitting. Overnight tuning runs as service tickets with ready-for-pickup alerts, lockers are assigned in the same system, and lessons, memberships and gift cards sell on the same register.
Best fit: shops and resort rental operations that want the bench, counter, retail floor, tune shop and lockers on one customer record.
Easyrent is the rental software from Wintersteiger, which also makes ski service machines and depot systems. Its page describes modules: Easyrent for rental, Easywork for service workflows linked to Wintersteiger service machines, Easydepot for depots and lockers with automatic allocation, and Easygate, which shows customers on monitors who is next in line. It lists a Windows interface, use on PC, tablet or smartphone (iOS, Android or Windows), an online reservation portal, a digital signature pad, ID registration through an OCR reader, and a 3D foot scan with intelligent boot selection.
Its interface list is the longest here: ski pass systems (Skidata, Team Axess), hotel PMS systems such as Opera and Protel, merchandise management, depot hardware, reservation portals such as Skiset, and external binding setting devices. Pricing is not published.
Best fit: established shops and resorts that run Wintersteiger service or depot hardware, or need interfaces to ski pass and hotel systems.
BRM's ski and snowboard page describes one reservation record from online booking to fitted kit. Each person in a group booking keeps height, weight, boot size, ability and stance, and waivers are collected before arrival. A package sold online becomes specific skis, boots, poles and helmets assigned in store, with barcodes for assignment, swaps, returns and service. Gear that needs edge or base work is held out of tomorrow's availability. BRM says it works alongside the payment and retail tools a shop already uses. No price is listed.
Best fit: shops that rent skis in winter and bikes in summer and want one platform across the year, alongside their existing POS.
Valet's ski page is built around the busiest morning: online customers arrive with the waiver signed, sizing submitted and payment done, and walk-ups use a kiosk mode on any internet-connected device. Fields are configurable for DIN, boot sole length and skier proficiency. Valet tracks individual skis, boards and boots with QR stickers and maintenance history, and can trigger maintenance by rental count. It lists half-day through season-long lease pricing and a seasonal catalog that shows winter gear in winter. Pricing is a 5% fee per completed booking with no subscription, built into the price customers see.
Best fit: independent shops that want QR asset tracking and a kiosk without a monthly fee.
Rentrax's ski and snowboard page lists built-in DIN configuration tools, custom product fields for sizes, skill levels and gear types, online, in-store and phone order forms, group bookings for families and ski schools, and lesson bookings. It schedules tune-ups, waxes and repairs, and supports multiple locations and SMS or email reminders with waiver links. Its FAQ offers a free trial, then usage-based pricing from $29/month.
Best fit: winter operators that rent skis and also run lessons or snowmobile tours from the same system.
TWICE's ski page lists a hosted rental website on your own domain, walk-in retail orders, a QR self-service kiosk mode, and portals for hotels and travel agents with commission tracking. Every ski and snowboard is serialized with its own history and income and expense tracking, bundles keep item-level tracking, and auto-assignment picks gear for each order by your rules. Returns are scanned and routed to inspection and waxing. Pricing is €199 per location per month with 50% off the first location, so from €99/month, plus a 1.5% commission on payments processed through TWICE on its Standard tier, with a 14-day free trial.
Best fit: multi-location operators that sell through hotels and agents and want per-asset economics.
RentalTide's ski and snowboard page lists online reservations and pre-arrival forms, gear, size and boot inventory, walk-up POS checkout, digital waivers, seasonal and multi-day pricing, AI dynamic pricing for holiday weeks, package and add-on upsells, condition tracking, multi-location management, deposits, and season-pass and group management. Pricing is a flat 4.9% per transaction with no monthly or setup fees, which the page says is passed to customers; payment terminals can be bought, financed or leased.
Best fit: shops that prefer a per-transaction model with walk-up POS included.
Checkfront's ski page focuses on online booking and inventory: embedded widgets for ski and snowboard packages, size runs such as 150 to 180 cm skis and 24 to 31 Mondo boots, shared assets so a ski, boot and helmet bundle cannot be double-booked, and maintenance holds. Rental agreements and damage waivers go out after booking, with a minors section, and staff can take walk-in bookings and scan QR tickets at pickup. It lists wallets such as Apple Pay, multi-currency payments, and integrations with OTAs, accounting and POS tools. Pricing is $99 per month plus a 3% online booking fee, with no fees on offline bookings.
Best fit: shops focused on moving bookings online with size-aware inventory, connected to the tools they already run.
Booqable's ski page covers skis, snowboards, boots, helmets and packages as units or bundles; a rental website or booking components for WordPress, Shopify or Squarespace; half-day, full-day and cheaper per-day multi-day rates with seasonal pricing; deposits as a fixed amount, a percentage or a card hold; e-signed contracts and waivers; tap to pay on a phone; and downtime for waxing and repairs. Plans start at $29/month billed yearly, with a 14-day free trial.
Best fit: small shops that want an online store and booking page quickly at a published price.
RentMy's ski page lists a POS for rentals and sales, packages, and barcode and serial tracking. Ski Rental Systems sells online reservation software for independent shops, and EZRentOut's sports and ski page describes general equipment rental tools. They are not ranked above because their pages describe fewer fitting features such as skier sizes or DIN.
Busy shop with a Saturday line: prioritize pre-arrival sizing, fit profiles, DIN support and a fast lane. Ribbe, BRM, Valet and RentalTide list pre-arrival sizing or forms; Ribbe and Rentrax list DIN tools, and Valet lists DIN fields.
Shop with a tune bench and retail floor: your ski rental POS should ring up rentals, retail and tune tickets together. Ribbe lists all three plus lockers; Wintersteiger pairs Easyrent with its Easywork service module.
Resort with several locations: compare Easyrent's depot and ski pass interfaces, Ribbe's multi-location inventory, and TWICE's per-location setup and partner portals.
Season rentals for locals and kids: Ribbe lists season rentals, Valet season-long leases and RentalTide season-pass management. Ask how a season return is tracked.
Skis in winter, bikes in summer: BRM and Valet describe one platform across seasons, and Ribbe also serves bicycle rental shops.
Small shop getting online: compare Booqable, Checkfront and Rentrax plans with the per-booking models from Valet and RentalTide.

Most morning lines are a fitting problem, not a payment problem. Collect sizes with the booking, send the waiver with the confirmation, stage boots for returning renters, and give pre-booked guests their own lane. In Ribbe those steps run in one system, with digital waivers linked to the booking and the customer.

The best ski rental software handles fitting and the counter as well as booking: pre-arrival sizing, fit profiles, DIN support, packages, season rentals, waivers and fast scanning. Ribbe combines these with retail, tune tickets and lockers. Easyrent suits shops tied to Wintersteiger hardware, BRM and Valet cover per-skier details and asset tracking, and Checkfront and Booqable focus on online booking.
Usually it is the same system. Snowboards, board boots and stance are handled alongside skis. Ribbe sells snowboard and boot packages at package prices and its fitting station applies snowboard-specific settings, and BRM records stance for each rider.
Some can. Ribbe's fitting station calculates a release range from weight, age, ability and boot sole length and stores what was set, while the technician still adjusts the binding. Rentrax lists built-in DIN configuration tools, Valet offers configurable DIN fields, and Easyrent lists interfaces to external binding setting devices.
Yes. Every tool here lists online booking. With Ribbe, guests reserve skis, snowboards, boots and helmets with live availability, enter sizes for the whole family and sign the waiver on their phone, so the shop only fits and hands over gear in the morning.
Published prices in October 2026 ranged from per-booking fees (Valet 5%, RentalTide 4.9%) to subscriptions from $29/month (Booqable billed yearly, Rentrax), from €99/month for TWICE and $99/month plus 3% of online bookings for Checkfront. Wintersteiger and BRM do not publish prices. Ribbe offers Starter, Pro and Multi-Location plans with no required upfront software costs and transaction-based pricing with a monthly minimum that keeps the account active over the summer; see the pricing page.
