 Poster: A snowHead
|
Need some snowheads collective brains to help out please!
Planning a trip up to Scotland a week Wednesday and struggling to find anywhere that hires kit for Heather (my wife).
I've booked a course via British Backcountry for the Friday and they have skis/skins but we can't use them on the Thursday as they are 200 miles away.
Does anyone know anywhere Yorkshireish that hires touring skis/skins, or even just the skins and some binding adapters???
She has boots and some decent Off Piste skis but they have normal bindings on them and no skins.
Jon @ https://www.thepisteoffice.com/ has sold out, I've seen some bindings on ebay, but for a one off trip I'm not sure I want to commit to buying unless she enjoys it!
Any clever ideas welcome!
Cheers,
Greg

There is the British Back Country Skiing page on Facebook that someone may be able to lend you something.

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

If you can possibly get ski crampons as well (Harsheizen), the hard morning snow in Scotland might need them.
The name for the adaptors I have is, of course, Trackers. Decades since I used them. A bit heavy and clumsy but would do for the day. She'll have something better for the other days.

Try the FB group as above. Otherwise, just post here with size etc. and someone who lives locally might lend you a pair in exchange for supplies from the local brewery or similar

@kitenski, hopefully you'll get sorted but make sure the bindings are a small length frame binding that'll take an alpine soled boot.
