Located in Vail Village, American Ski Exchange has been the go to family run and operated ski shop in Vail, CO for 30 years. They are all about a great value and exceptional experience. Not only do they offer the latest in ski and snowboarding gear but their depth of knowledge and experience ensures you will get the most out of your time on and off the mountain.
Every aspect of Base Camp is designed around maximizing your Vail skiing experience. Located in the Vista Bahn building next to Gondola 1, each morning you will be greeted by our ski valet professionals who will help put your boots on and place your skis and snowboards directly onto the snow for you. At the end of a long day of ripping up Vail’s Back Bowls, just ski right back to our door, we will take your boots off your feet and place them on dryers overnight, bring your skis in for overnight storage, and make sure all year gear is ready to go for you the next morning.
When is the last time you felt truly pampered from a Vail ski shop? Base Camp is the premier ski-in/ski-out location just steps from Gondola One. Complimentary ski storage and boot dryers and world class service from our friendly, knowledgeable staff will make this the absolute best ski rental experience you have ever had.
Every morning we will buckle your boots and carry your skis to the snow, so all you have to worry about is how many runs you’re going to make. RESERVE NOW
