Poster: A snowHead
|
we arrive around noon in la tania and want to pick our skis up then and not wait until after 5 or 6 when everyone else will descend on the shop. so just wondering a lot of them say the 7th day is free. is this the case with all of the ski hire shops? so it would make more sense to say that Saturday is our first day so that we can pick them up on Saturday (available for pick up from the Friday). I am looking to hire snowboards through skiholidayextras but if hubby and son decide they dont like snowboarding and want to go back to skiing, then how do i know if the hire shop will change them? I know some offer a free exchange but how will I know?
Does that make sense?

The only way you'll know is to get in touch with the hire shop. Certainly not all of them offer 7 days for the price of 6.
As for switching snowboard for skis; lots of hire shops will do this, but it will be dependent on the price range of equipment you take out per the shop's own rules. Shops typically work on some variation of gold, silver and bronze categories of equipment and often will only swap over if you've hired from the top bands. Again, you'll need to contact the individual shop to confirm this, or see if they have it one their website.

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

Plug here for Sports Andi in Kirchberg
You can pick up on Saturday and return following Friday afternoon and only pay for 6 even though you may have skied on them on that Saturday. But the price for 7 days is the same as 6 in there anyway
And if you don't ski for a day in the week, he`ll only charge for 5 days etc. Not worth him taking them back in, servicing them etc, just to hand them out again.
And if you want to swap back and for the between ski/board, again no problem.

"is this the case with all of the ski hire shops?"
Hence why I mentioned Kirchberg. Didn't want you to get too excited.
But worthwhile asking the same questions of your local hire shop all the same. If you don't ask you don't get.

Many do offer this when booking online and in advance. However, when to take the free day will depend on your arrival time and departure time. If you arrive very early on Saturday then you will benefit from an afternoon ski. Or book from Sunday and try to collect early on the Saturday. Most allow collections after 4pm the day before your 'first day' or similar but if you go early you may get lucky.
