Yes. We have only changed the name of the family owned and operated business after more than 33 years, because BP upgraded their Service Centre. All previous customers who have hired equipment through our BP Ski Hire, will now automatically become Boss Outdoor Sports customers and enjoy all the benefits.
We are open 24 hours – 7 days a week throughout the entire snow season.

You can return your rental equipment up to 11pm on the due day of your return. We are open 24 hours through the snow season. If you are up the mountain and will have trouble returning before this time, please notify us in advance and you may be able to drop your gear off before 10.00am the next day. If equipment is not returned by this time, an extra days hire may be charged.

Ladder or also known as hoop chains are relatively easy to fit to any car. You may have to lie down on a wet snowy road to fit these chains to the back of your tire correctly, but if you carry a tarp or toboggan, you will have no problem at all.
Diamond chains are also an easy fit option, but you will not have to lay down to reach around to the back of tire. They also provide more chain on snow with more traction in difficult snow/ice road conditions.
NEW: We now have in stock a limited number of premium chains suitable for Tesla & Low Profile cars
