Backcountry Essentials is the absolute best ski shop in Bellingham. Frank is incredible to work with, and you will not find a better boot fitter anywhere in the region. The entire team is extremely knowledgeable, down to earth, and helpful. If I could give 10 stars I would!

Love this local ski and gear rental store. We rented our gears here on the way to Mt Baker. The staffs are fast and friendly and got us in and out quickly.

The whole crew at Backcountry were awesome! We rented some skis & a board. We couldn't be happier with the customer service and quality. They made sure to match us up with the gear we needed for our skill level. Will definitely be back!

To receive best experience renting equipment go to website and complete appropriate forms. Staff are great at selecting appropriate equipment for your skill level and physical dimensions. While the store was quite busy during our visit, somehow we were attended to in the order we arrived. I was most impressed with the quality of the rental items and their performance. I very much look forward to doing more business with them.

I have some ski and snowboard boots that my son has outgrown. Can I bring them in to trade? Is there a special time for bringing in used items? Is it too late in the ski season to bring in equipment?

Hey there! We typically buy used gear seasonally, so right now we are moving towards spring/summer gear for hiking, camping and such. We will always take a look at the gear you bring in, but we would be very selective on ski gear right now. Your best bet is to bring that gear on by toward the end of September/early October and no appointment is needed. If you have any other questions, please give us a call at (360) 543-5678. Thank you!

Do you rent women's snow pants and jackets at all? Would need board boots and bindings too. Thanks!!

Sorry, we do not rent clothing but we do have lots of used clothing options that might work for you.

Do you do custom ski boot fitting? I attended the expo held at the Ferry Terminal last weekend and got lots of names but can't find them. Would like an appointment today if possible.
