Poster: A snowHead
|
PBJ junior(senior) is now working .... yippee ..... his office ski trip is a long weekend to Courmayeur ..... skiing 3 days 3-5 February.
He has been allocated responsibility for organising ski hire for up to 20 people.
Does anyone have good ideas for a well stocked and reasonably priced ski rental shop that will do a good deal ?

No idea on what sort of deal they'll do, but we always used the one at the bottom of the Val Veny cable car. Been a while, so no idea on what it's called.
The Val Veny cable car is a little out of town, but because of that can be quieter than the town centre one (unless the snow's poor in France). It has a decent sized car park and is serviced by the town bus.
It also tends to be quieter at the top as well, and you can ski from the top (asuming the snow into Val Veny is okay), instead of having to go up another lift.
There is a nursery slope, bar and *possibly* another shop at the top, too.

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

I hired from here when I was there in January

Looked like they were pretty well stocked as well and can leave kit there each night which is pretty much the norm for hire spots at Checrouit. There's another one called Alpineve in the lift building at the top of the cable car from town too.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@PBJ, We also used Noleggio Sci Lo Chalet this year, booked through ski set and paid €97 for performance set of skis. The storage area is fairly small but works OK ( we were there at half term so it was a busy time for them). It saves having to carry the kit up and down in the main gondola, as its an office trip they will be able to make use of leaving the skis and boots there and going for a quiet drink, or go to the American Bar on Via Roma with its free nibbles 😀
We're going again next year and will use them again, it works for us, simples
