SKI & WINTER
Valet, with skis
Pizza, pet medicine, flowers and even diabetic testing equipment are among the many goods and services you can have delivered directly to your front door. Now, you don't even have to get out of your bathrobe to rent and be fitted with ski equipment. Door 2 Door, a subsidiary of Christy Sports, bills itself as a full-service snow sports valet, and it's in more than 40 locations in Colorado and Utah. Here's how it works: You place an order by phone or online and a team of snow sports technicians arrives at your hotel room to fit you with boots, poles, skis, snowboards, even scarves and gloves. Rentals run $13 to $55 per day, depending on location and gear. Once you're done shredding the slopes or biffing off a rail, drop your gear at a Christy Sports outlet, near 15 major resorts.
