 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just been looking at equipment hire prices for wife & kids
Using the Ski Club's SkiSet link with 25% members discount the price came to 379 Euro
Going to Intersport website with no club discount total comes to 285 Euro !
Found same sort of differance last year, moral of this story is:
It pay's to shop around

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

it depends on which shop you use. They did have all the advanced skis you would want when I hired through snowrental.net for Zel am see.

Hmm.
I think the best thing is to fond out the rental shop with the best reputation in the resort - then pay what it takes - if you want high-quality skis (and even more importantly, bindings) in good condition.

provenjohn, I had "no probs" with hire skis either - until I ruptured my achilles tendon last season. I have wondered whether the heel should have been released by the binding. You stick to cheapest, if you will. I'll stick to best reputation. It's a free world.

achilles, So you would suggest that I alsways go for the most expensive quote then ?
Guess I have never really thought of that option in deciding what to buy or rent

provenjohn, .....achilles, has a very valid point. The condition of hire bindings can sometimes leave a great deal to be desired. You will need to be confident that your hire company checks bindings after each hire and maintains them properly.
achilles, has had an incident last season and I have witnessed two 'Binding' incidents - one no more than bad bruising, but the other had a leg broken in three places. The cheapest can sometimes become the most expensive. Best deal by all means, but be careful.
