Frequently Asked Questions



How do I rent gear from the ORC?
You will need to show up during open hours with your current Mines BlasterCard and a credit or debit card.

How do reservations work?
Reservations open the Wednesday before the weekend for all gear except on-piste skis which start Tuesday before the weekend. If you want to make a reservation, you can come into the ORC or give us a call at 303-273-3184 if you are interested in an item that does not need sizing. We can then set up a reservation for you so your gear is guaranteed for the weekend
.
Do you rent climbing gear?
We rent some climbing gear. This includes shoes for indoor and outdoor climbing, helmets and crash pads. We do not rent ropes, harnesses, draws, or trad gear. If you want to use any of those items we recommend going on one of our trips.
How do I get an Ikon pass?
You can either come into the ORC and scan the QR code for the Ikon pass form or you can go to  https://minesathletics.com/sports/2018/7/27/outdoor-recreation-faq.aspx to fill out the form. Please make sure to fill out the form according to the instructions and you will receive your code within 2 weeks.

What items do you rent?
We rent a large range of items including most gear you need for skiing, snowboarding, camping, backpacking, tubing and many other sports. A full list of our rental items and pricing can be found here https://minesathletics.com/documents/2023/9/20/ORC_RC_Equipment_Price_List_Fall_2023.pdf

How do your prices compare to other local options?
All our prices are approximately 50% less than other local rental locations. Our skis and tubes are much more reasonably priced compared to locations open to the public .

What is the discount for on campus groups?
On campus clubs and groups will receive a 15% discount on rental gear. Purchase will also be tax exempt when bought with a campus one-card. We are also able to provide an itemized receipt if necessary for any reporting that you need to do.
