 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi Guys,
Sorry bit of a dumbass question but heading to La Plagne and wondered if anyone had a feel for price for a weeks rental of top quality rental skis? The tour operator price looks crazy to me and includes boots which I don't need. Would prefer to book ahead but I'm sure I can just rock up at one of the shops on first night and get sorted!?
Thanks in advance.

Adamski, you could try a bit of Googling.
Skiset (Boudu) at 1800 for 4 days.
But you could be going elsewhere. Put in your details, and see how they compare with your TO.

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

@Jonpim, Hi yeah already now had a go on google and looks like I can get the top stuff for around 70 yoyos for 6 day rental direct versus the ridiculous £135 the TO wanted for "advanced skis"

@Jonpim, Sport 2000 in 1800 was the one I saw with what looked like reasonable prices

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

We are heading out to La Plagne next weekend and have pre-booked all our stuff with Oxygene. They have been fantastic so far and have good reviews. Found their prices competitive and offer a fit in chalet service.

Not sure where abouts in La Plagne you're staying, but skimium ask around €66 (slightly less if you've a decathlon account) for their top end package in some of their shops.
They do vary quite a bit in price depending on which of their shops you use though - for example the shop in Belle Plagne is about €94, where as the same package from Plagne Bellecote is about €66 (same package).
I seem to remember seeing a thread on here very recently with a few people recommending them.

@All, thanks for info - I know the one to avoid! and a few to consider. Other than the bad one I guess they're all much of a much. I'm staying in 1800 so ideal would be something very close and to be able to chop and change a couple of times especially if conditions change and perhaps get a chance of some powder skiing later in the week when I've found my legs

I can't speak for the other options suggested, but I was offered the option to change equipment up to once per day for an extra €2 per day when booking with skimium - I suspect others will offer similar, but I don't know for sure.
