Hey,

I know this question was asked a few posts back...but two of us are looking to rent the avalance equipment (shovel & transponder). We're coming up from Jersey..and aren't sure if anyplace will be open at the time of morning we'd be arriving.

I heard from someone that the mountain itself is renting the equipment...Is this true? If anyone knows anyplace that will be open early on a Sunday morning in Placid...please let us know!

Thanks a lot!

You can't rent it at the mountain.

You can get it at EMS for one. Here was the deal today, at 10:15 I was told I couldn't get in without avi gear, but that they may reavaluate later. About an hour later they where allowing skiers and riders in without. There was waist deep in spots, but had to be very careful of waterfall and other obs. as there is alot of ice blocks in there too. It was still puking snow when we left around four. Tomorrow should be another great day. :D
