Skiset are offering you up to 45%* discount - simply enter code skiclubnm when booking online at Skiset.co.uk
The asterisk means
"*depending on your holiday dates and the category.
This offer is only valid on the skiset.co.uk website up to 01/05/2014."
whatever that might mean...... ????
Lifted from unsolicited spam email from SCGB. If it helps you - go fo it. No endorsement or recommendation implied.

The auto link might lead you believe there is a mutual benefit in using skiset - click it to find the truth. But a 45% discount might flatten the moguls somewhat.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

No that's an anti-tie-up with sH 
Never had a problem personally. Excellent service, and even better service from the one I dealt with directly. But Admin's experience seems somewhat different.
alpinresorts give 50% discount. but ime 50% off a higher price was more expensive then 45% off a lower price. and the shop is the same one.

Admin was only commenting on price - I think.....

I use Skiset for kids - had no problems with them - always get direct mails from them with various discounts and use them.

No, nothing to do with price. Sometimes skiset is cheaper: more commonly alpinresorts is. Sport2000 is also a big chain so worth checking out.
Simply put, I have every reason to believe that if you have a problem with a booking made through the Skiset central service, the shop will refer you back to them and they will screw you as a matter of policy*.
Better to deal with the shop directly or book through another service.
*note this is not because they screwed me, Skiset actually offered me a substantial sum last season to work with them, however I turned them down as, for a number of reasons, I don't trust them.
Obviously lots of the shops are great, providing as good service as any other skishop - not all are though, you have no way of knowing in advance which are the bad ones and when you get one.... you'll know what I mean.

Almost every ski I've had from the 1 beggining with S has been a brand new ski, never used, or clearly that season's ski so definitely no more than a few weeks use.
The one beginning with A has given me last season's skis, but tbf, that was probably in their description of "gold".
Intersport I've only used once.
Only one that ever truly boogered up was Inghams, and they tried to pass the buck on to my travel agent, and accuse me of lying.
Will continue to use whichever shop or online service takes my fancy.

admin, wow that was quick - thanks for the clarifications. Goldfish would no doubt want supporting evidence for your opinion - I'll accept it peacefully.

Tried booking some skis on the Skiset website earlier today and it's just stuck giving me the message "Hire until undefined NaN undefined NaN included".
It's either a very badly written site or it has got me mixed up with an Indian takeaway order.
I should have learnt my lesson from last year when I booked some skis to be picked up from one of their shops in La Plagne, then to find on arrival that the shop only rented boards. 
Geek-alert: Yes, I know it means Not-a-Number.

Probably find it's your browser that's defective.
Had similar with Accor/Ibis hotels webby. Worked on new Chrome+Linux. Gave lots of NaN for dates on Windows and older browser. Works again now that I have newer Chrome with Windoze.

I was using latest Chrome on XP. A hard refresh fixed it.
