Poster: A snowHead

Hi,
Does anyone know whether there's anywhere in Val d'Isere where I can rent an airbag for 5 days?
Any idea what I can expect to pay?
Thanks,
Pete

@coolbeanz, You might get a response if you try posting on the Val d'Isere Snow Report thread.
Or send Steve Angus a private message. He's the guru of all things Val d'.

Hi coolbeanz - renting an airbag in itself may be tricky.... you can def rent tran, shovel etc at the Mountain Pro Shop opposite the main bus station but renting an airbag is a tricky thing as it is not deemed 'vital' therefore shops dont want to spend loads on stocking them for a lowish return on their investment. Other options - think the SCGB you can now hire them by the week and take them on hols and back again!!!!! I know some ski schools (Progression) include them when you take lessons with them! I am also lead to believe on good advice that a new shop called 'Pure Ski' which is in the pedestrianised area to the RIGHT AS YOU LOOK of the main tourist office and into where Dr Dalabells surgery is - they are now renting the bags out but only heard it on good advice! Good luck.

Thanks for all your suggestions.
I ended up renting a Mammut/Snowpulse one from Skimium on Avenue Olympique. It cost €20/day.
Gladly, I didn't need to deploy it!

Hi, it seems that for ABS airbags rental in Val-d'Isère, powderwego.org has switched to https://www.powderwego.com .
The airbags are in good condition, revised each season, and checked each time they are rented.
They offer this service, for 25 to 30€ per day I think.
Best,
