So I've been thinking about purchasing a season pass to Snowshoe next year and me and my riding crew are wondering...."buy bikes with tax money this year or rent when we go?" We'll be going about 10-20 times, and I'm sure we'll love it. It's about a 5hr trip from us so I'm sure we'll be going as much as we can afford the gas/hotel. Thoughts for the new guys?
Good question. Having your own stuff is rad. No bike park spends the time to set up your suspension which means it'll always feel different. Buy your own if you want to learn and push yourself.
The bikes are pretty nice up at Snowshoe. New last year I think.
at $90/day for a Status, and $150/day for a Demo, the rentals seem like a decent deal for a few weekends, but if you really did 20 weekends you could more than buy the bike for the rental fees you'd pay. (If I recall correctly, the Demos had pricetags on them ... $4100, 20*2*$150=$6000)

It really sucks paying those prices to rent. I did that a couple times, and decided to buy used. If you have to rent when you go, that might keep you from going sometimes.
I don't know Snowshoe, but some parks sell their fleet at the end of the summer and include a pass for the next year.
Sound good folks...thanks for the replies. My guess is we will rent ONCE and then be hell bent to buy a downhill rig asap!
