Can You Rent Snow Jackets for Skiing/snowboarding?
Your Questions
I am planning to visit my friend in Reno and want to try skiing/snowboarding. I am not sure I want to purchase a snow jacket if I will not use it often, so can they be rented? Thanks in advance.

Generally not at US resorts. People from the UK ask this all the time, so maybe it’s something that is common outside the US.
In all honesty you can get by with a $50 jacket and $50 pair of snow pants if you are just learning…maybe even cheaper if you hit up Walmart or Kmart. Most 1st timers don’t even bother with getting snow clothing. Track pants, fleece jackets, hoodies under windbreakers, bomber jackets, jeans, fatigue pants, Carhartt bibs, hunting clothes…you name it, I’ve seen it on the beginner slopes.
Another thing you could do is ask your friends if they have anything they can loan you. Anyone who skis often more than likely has a closet full of stuff just sitting around. (or maybe I’m just strange because I have four pairs of ski pants and half-a-dozen jackets suitable for winter sports?)

gotta buy or borrow -maybe your friend has a friend…. otherwise, a good winter jacket is priced well in Reno right now, so you won’t have to spend much.
