 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
I'm planning a trip to Japan in January and because of the location where we will be skiing I have been advised to bring skis with me from the UK. Can anyone recommend a good ski hire shop in the south east of England (including London as I can get there relatively easily) that will be able to hire me some powder ski's for 2 weeks in January?
Cheers
Bod

Thanks chrikoff. There is one in Sevenoaks and they are seeing what they can do for me as they don't carry what I am after in their normal hire stock. I'm looking for something with a minimum of 100mm under foot. I'll certainly give the Canterbury shop a ring.

Having been to Japan, I'd say there's no need to take skis with you. Just rent when you're out there. It'll save you the hassle of hauling skis (and the cost of doing so) with you. There were plenty of skis to pick from in the rental shops - mainly Armada JJ's.

ThanksMarkScott, just what i was looking for and scarily they have the exact model I was looking for and by the looks of it they will post them to me FOC.
Chrisssyg, Thanks for the advice. We were recommended not to try and hire in Japan as the areas we will be skiing have a limited choice. It's no hassle hiring here now I've found out where and the Virgin flight I'm taking has free carriage on sports equipment. I'm not a fan of taking skis with me as I normally ski in Europe and find hiring easier and cheaper than having my own pair(s).

Gämsbock, We are skiing in the south area called Honshu, but will be travelling around quite extensively. I've never been to Japan before so am just following the advice of the company that run the guiding. If we were going North then it would be a different matter.
