Also, there is a free evening shuttle between FAR and the Town, but you will likely be far happier staying in Town.
As for renting a car, the parking at the hill is pretty good, compared to most other places, and parking in Town is largely a non-issue.
Regarding the ski shops, there are 3-4 very good ones – you will have no problem finding what you need, and the selection is well suited to the area conditions.
