AMR ski and board rental is locally owned and operated. This is our 20th year in business with the same ownership and management. With only one location in the City Market Plaza next to the Gondola our location can't be beat. Our shop atmosphere is casual and relaxed. Very non corporate. We take the time to ensure that you are happy and well equipped to go out and get the most of your vacation dollars.
Our equipment is better than regular rental equipment. We buy in-line retail skis and boards for rental so you're not getting some basic old rental gear. You're getting great gear and at resonable rates too! This year we are featuring Atomic Blackeye TI and Armada El Rey skis and Arbor Rockered boards in our most popular Better rental package. We want our customers to be on the same kind of equipment our friends and family are using. Instructors from ski and ride school love seeng our customers in their classes and they can tell as soon as they see our gear. We get great feedback from them and our customers. Check out our Demo list. This year we are offering Demos from some of the most exciting small independent manufacturers out there. The attention to detail and new innovative products they are making is leading the industry with rave reviews. We carry the big guys too. So if you've been reading about some specific skis and boards, chances are we have them. Our rental boots are tops too. We have a great selection to fit all kinds of feet. We carry Head, Salomon and Nordica boots. New 3-buckle freestyle and 4-buckle boots give a great fit and a great look. Our snowboard boots all feature Boa systems witout laces for easy use and performance. Great gear = great FUN! That's what we want you to have.
Our employees have been with us for years. Mostly we are telemark skiers who came from either an alpine ski or snowboard background. So we really know the ins and outs of skiing and boarding. We love to give tips to our customers which really help them excel on the hill. We are all dedicated to being on the mountain every day and it shows. Plus we are all longtime locals and a few local kids of our longtime local friends. We don't need to hire anyone who just moved to town. Which means you get knowledge and experience other shops might not provide. Expecially the bigger shops. At AMR our employees are helpful. We know the skiing community and the town.
AMR has the best location in town. In between the City Market grocery and the Gondola we have it all within footsteps. Years ago before the gondola was put in, this was the far end of town. We had to provide great service, equipment and prices to get people in the door. Now within walking distance from the Gondola we have a lot more people stopping by. But that hasn't changed our attitude. We have so many loyal customers from over the years who have gotten used to the way we do business that we've stayed the same. We've grown and expanded over the years, and with more customers, we're able to offer more high-quality gear. This year is even better than ever. We are really psyched for this season. If you're one of our loyal customers reading this new web site thanks for being there for us and we look forward to seeing you again. We don't always remember names but we always recognize the faces. AMR ski and board rental is ready to make your vacation as memorable as possible. From convenience to equipment to location, we take care of everything!
Our Mission We believe in Fun! We know how important a great vacation is. How important it is to be treated well and cared about. Our customers are more like friends than just dollar signs. Our goal is to provide you with the best equipment and service possible. Come see why people come back year after year.
Our Team We are a tight-knit team of experienced skiers and riders. We like each other and push ourselves to achieve greatness in all aspects of our winter lives. Being open every day from 8am - 9pm we can assure that every member of our staff can get out on the hill every day! We work split shifts, half days and evenings. Here's a bit of info on our key people who make AMR click:
Owner/Manager
Dave - Telemark skier extraordinaire, Dave is the founding member of AMR. I have worked in ski shops in Breckenridge for over 30 years. I skied 150 days last year with over 1,200,000 vertical feet at Breckenridge alone. Skiing all winter and mountain biking all summer, I have the knowledge and skills to create a great ski shop experience. I travel a good amount and realize how important it is to provide great service. A couple of years ago I started "Ski with Dave" day. (Thursday) Many of our customers have asked to ski with me and see what it is like to ski with an experienced local. So I'll take people out and see how they do. We ski our regular routes at regular speed. It's exciting and fun. I believe in honest and straightforward dealings with my customers. Simple things, like making sure a first-time snowboarder has a helmet even if it ruins her hair, are important. I'm going to do everything I can to make sure you're happy and safe on the hill. The thing is I am not only the buyer, manager, maitre'd, etc. but I also work in the shop and fit equipment. I have to look my customers in the eye when I give them equipment. I'm not going to give something out that they are not going to be happy with. I've worked in other shops in town where I had to give out inferior gear. I didn't like it then and I won't do it now. When I look you in the eye I want you to look back and say, 'Wow, thanks, that is some cool stuff.' I make sure we have the equipement and variety that says I care about my customers.
Jeff - Longest tenured current employee Jeff has been with AMR for 9 years now and has been a great addition to the staff from the start. A midwestern boy, Jeff came to Breckenridge as a snowboarder and surfer. He is an avid backcountry skier and loves to hike up early to start his day and ski till he has to go to work. One of our best tuners, Jeff has no problem getting out of the back shop to help out fitting the customers for gear.
Zach - Tech Zach hails from Wyoming where he grew up snowboarding the big mountains up there and is now also a telemark skier. He worked for the ski area as a supervisor of lifts and maintenence for Breckenridge ski area for 5 years. His working knowledge of the ski area is really helpful when discussing those aspects with customers. He has been with the shop 7 years now. He has great technical knowledge of skis and boards.
Other Techs - Sam (16yrs with AMR), Steve (8yrs), Devon (5yrs), Dan (4yrs), Jonah (3yrs), Matt (3yrs), Amir (2yrs), and a host of friends with longtime experience who stop by to help out when it is really busy!
