Having operated a Queenstown ski rental delivery business, Snopro, since 2011, local couple Kylie and Justin Worth have added a bricks and mortar offering.

They’ve opened Snopro Studio in the Hilton Hotel complex.

Aside from hiring out skis, snowboards and boots, and selling accessories like gloves, helmets, merino layers and goggles, they’ve introduced a couple of innovative touches.

They’re running an appointment-based system, for more personal service.

"There’s no point waiting on a bench, in fact we didn’t even make a waiting bench," Justin says.

They’ve also imported from Sweden 3D foot-scanning technology, ensuring a perfect boot fitting through taking 1000 images of your feet in less than 10 seconds.

Justin says they’re obviously well set up to cater for Hilton guests, but are also handily placed for those in Kelvin Heights, Hanley’s Farm, Jack’s Point and beyond heading to The Remarkables skifield, especially.
