 Poster: A snowHead
|
My daughter will have three weeks of skiing this season (yay!). She has done a week last year and then a couple of weeks before Covid when she was very little. She now has gotten the Ourson level with ESF.
She's 6 and can link turns snow ploughing. My question to you is where can I find some decent second hand ski boots and skis in/around London? I staunchly refuse to buy anything new that she will only be using for 3 weeks. Thank you!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

@irbis, what size? Measure for Mondo point for boots is best.

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

Kids gear is pretty cheap to rent. And in three weeks, at her age and already having a basis, she should make very fast progress. At first she'll be best with pretty short skis but you might want to go longer afterwards. Is it really worth all the time and temper and petrol you'll have to put in, and dragging her round shops, just to save a few quid? She won't need sticks for a while - though she'll probably want them.

Decathlon is in london so will be a option for new and no doubt used kids gear online etc.

Keep an eye on Ebay. When our lot were small - we were able to get a large bag of nearly new goodies, as they grow out of stuff quickly at that age.
Trespass make good stuff - so look for a factory outlet near you.

Apologies - I see you are looking for Skis/Boots, which we always hired in resort.
