Hi
Taking the 6yo skiing in les gets. His first time. Would you hire equipment locally or in les gets? But a helmet before you go? Or out there?
Any tips appreciated!
Thanks

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

I'd hire the gear out there, any issues with the kit are going to be far easier to solve + you don't have to carry the gear as far.

Buy Helmet (avoids Nits and will fit better). Hire kit in resort. It will be a bit more expensive but you can change it if it doesn't fit or work.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@SirCharles, we hired helmets first few times but when we went to Les Deux Alpes the hired ones were so badly dented we bought for the girls after that. We bought Wed’ze ones from Decathlon, thigh Aldi also has decent looking ones at a good price if they fit nicely.

Plenty ski hire shops in Les Gets. Maybe try and book online beforehand or depending where you are staying they may have a deal with local shops.
Ski helmets - try tk maxx usually great prices for branded names -poc, smith etc
Les gets is great been there last 5 years and going back with my son in February. 360 ski school is fab. They taught my kids and are very reasonable. I got kids private lessons which did not cost much more than group lessons with BASS

If you're west London, this place in Fulham sells kids helmets for a reasonable price.

We got our two Bern helmets there.

If you do head for the shop, rather than on line, do check the opening times as I have found can be a little random/variable.
