We've used Black Tie on many trips, and their service is great. On our most recent trip to Mammoth, after driving up from San Diego the last thing you want to do is schlepp around to find rentals - we pre-arranged for them to meet us at our condo at Juniper Springs Lodge, and they arrived exactly on time. We were sitting around watching basketball and drinking cold beer, with the dinner in the oven, and our skis were delivered, fitted to our boots, and we were all set with virtually no effort on our part. Their prices are comparable to what you'd pay at a rental shop, but we always give a nice tip for the service. The skis are first rate, and if you aren't happy or if you suddenly get a powder day and want to switch to a fatter ski, they are quick to accommodate you (depending on location or situation, they can meet you at the base also). When we were done with the skis, we left them outside for pickup in the evening, but we could have also left them with the bell desk. So easy.
