"Ribbe is an essential part of our rental operation."
"As a rental-first POS system, it makes it easy to book, process, and track rentals from start to finish. The system is intuitive, so seasonal staff can learn it quickly and use it correctly from day one. Ribbe also helps us maximize revenue with flexible pricing plans, add-ons, and late-return tracking, giving us more control over every rental."

Ski rental software, in depth
A ski rental shop gets most of its business in a few hours. On a holiday Saturday the line is out the door by eight, every customer needs skis, boots, poles, and a helmet sized to them, and half of them are families with kids who have grown a boot size since last season. Ribbe is ski rental software built for that morning rush, for single ski shops and for resorts running several rental locations, so fitting, assignment, and payment move at the speed of the line.
The fastest way to shorten the morning line is to move work to the night before. Guests reserve skis and snowboards online through the Ribbe booking widget or a branded booking site, with live availability across your fleet, and they can enter sizes for each skier while they are still at home.
Packages. Sell ski, boot, pole, and helmet packages, plus snowboard and boot packages, at package prices.
Group and family bookings. Several skiers, sizes, and add-ons in one reservation.
Multi-day and season rentals. Rent for a weekend, a week, or the whole season.
Waivers before arrival. A digital waiver is sent with the confirmation, so each skier signs on their phone, with guardian consent for minors.
Fitting is where a ski rental counter wins or loses time. Ribbe keeps fit profiles with height, weight, ability level, and boot size for each skier, so staff are not re-asking questions the customer already answered online. The profile is stored with the customer, and the technician at the bench sees the information they need to fit skis, boots, snowboards, and helmets and assign equipment to the right person.
For more on how fitting works at the rental station, read our post on boot fitting at the rental station.
Once gear is fitted, the rental point of sale completes the rental in one transaction, including retail items such as goggles, gloves, and hand warmers. Barcode and QR scanning ties each ski and boot to the rental, and multi-day returns are checked in by scanning, with late fees applied automatically. Express rental screens help keep walk-up lines moving at peak hours. Guests who booked ahead can go straight to fitting, while walk-ups are handled on the same screens, so one group does not hold up the other.
Ski shops do more than rent. Ribbe handles overnight tuning and service tickets alongside rentals, with work orders, parts, and labor tracked through its repair shop tools and customers notified when their skis are ready for pickup. Locker and storage assignments are tracked in the same system, so a guest can rent skis, store them overnight, and pick them up tuned in the morning without three separate pieces of paper.
Many ski shops also sell lessons and activities. Ribbe's ticketing handles classes and guided tours by time, type, and capacity, with scan-in at the meeting point, and memberships and gift cards can be sold on the same register. For resorts with several rental locations, multi-location inventory lets you transfer equipment between shops and report across all of them, while real-time reports show utilization and revenue by day.
A general booking calendar can reserve a time slot, but it does not know a boot size, an ability level, or which skis are out on a five-day rental. Skiing booking software that also runs the fitting bench, the tune shop, and the retail counter keeps all of that in one record. That is the difference between ski rental software and a reservation form: the reservation is only the first step, and the real work happens at the bench, the register, and the return rack. Ribbe runs on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, so a tablet at the fitting bench and a PC at the register both work, and seasonal staff can learn it quickly. Compare plans and pricing before your next season starts.
Ski rental software FAQ
The best ski rental software handles fitting as well as booking. Look for online reservations with fit details entered in advance, fit profiles with height, weight, ability, and boot size, package pricing, multi-day and season rentals, digital waivers, fast check-out and returns, and tune and service tickets. Ribbe combines these with retail, lessons, and payments in one system for ski shops and resorts.
Yes. Guests reserve skis, snowboards, boots, and helmets online through a Ribbe booking widget on your website or a branded booking site, with live availability. They can enter sizes, book for the whole family in one reservation, and sign the waiver on their phone, so the shop only has to fit and hand over gear in the morning.
Yes. Ribbe keeps fit profiles with height, weight, ability level, and boot size for each skier. The profile is entered once, either online or at the counter, and it stays with the customer for future rentals. Staff at the fitting bench see the details they need to fit and assign equipment without asking the same questions again.
Yes. Ribbe supports multi-day and season rentals alongside daily rentals, with package pricing for skis, boots, poles, and helmets. Each piece of equipment is tied to the rental by scanning, so you know what is out and when it is due back, and late fees are applied automatically at check-in when gear comes back late.
Yes. Ribbe handles overnight tuning and service tickets with work orders, parts, and labor, and it can notify customers automatically when their skis are ready for pickup. Service history is kept for each item, so rental fleet maintenance and customer repairs are tracked in the same system as rentals and retail sales.
Ribbe offers Starter, Pro, and Multi-Location plans, and the main difference is the number of locations, terminals, kiosks, and waivers you need. There are no required upfront software costs, and pricing is transaction-based with a monthly minimum that keeps the account active over the summer. See the pricing page for current plans.
