Our pricing is all about accessibility

No per-day prices, our rental prices are for the entire length of your trip (based on the dates you suggest)
No sales tax, that's an immediate savings of nearly 10%
We offer the lowest prices for the quality of gear you'll get (let us know if you find a better deal!)
We're happy to negotiate pricing based on the circumstances of your trip & our availability, 5% of what you pay gets disadvantaged kids outdoors, via the nonprofit SkiDUCK. Give us a call to discuss! +1-415-813-1881

A photo diary of one solo traveler's self-immersion through different cultural identities to experience alternate perspectives. Mike's photos focus on the human element - looking past identities we project onto each other across cultures such as race, religion, and wealth. Each shot is a moment from the lives of real people that inspires curiosity and human compassion.
