    “Lift” as in “Lift Tickets”? That’s what you pay to ski. Such as: “Prices include Lifts and Lessons.”

    I’ve never heard of a place that rents anything other than Skis, Boots, and Poles, or Snowboards and Boots. Helmets are normally an additional rental fee and don’t come with the package. The skier/snowboarder (you) are responsible for your own clothing and accessories. Most resorts have ski shops on site so you can purchase almost everything you need for the trip, but very few places rent that stuff.

    The LIFT is the chair or gondola that you ride to get to the top of the ski slope. Buying a Lift Ticket is your access to the ride. You cannot ski/board without a lift ticket.

    Most larger ski areas do not rent clothing. Most rental places only rent the major equipment like ski boots, skis, helmets, and ski poles for skiers; snow board boots, helmets, and snow boards for boarders. Some of the smaller ski areas (locally owned ski slopes or “mom and pop” operations) also rent outer wear like ski pants, jackets, goggles and gloves, but this is rare. You will have to buy these yourself.

    Ski schools are the best way to learn how to ski. They are worth the investment.
