rest of my family who didn't have own skis used Freeride last 2 years we've been to Meribel and found them to be excellent - booked online before we went and first year they went to the shop tp pick stuff up, last year got stuff delivered to chalet and even tho my OH had never skied before and wasn't sure of exact requirements they brought a selection of stuff and he was easily sorted. They had a really good selection to please dad and brother as well who are both really good skiers and wanted good SL/GS skis..... they hired the same skis I bought and they were pretty new and well maintained...

Which shops to go to to buy? which to avoid? Looking to test now for a day or 2 then buy, for me and maybe the other half.

Freeride are a good place to test and probally have one of the largest ranges (I think) ?
They nomally do a 2 hours test for free (after leaving you credit card), if you want longer i.e a day you can pay a hire fee which they deduct from your purchase.
Most places will let you test for the price of the hire and then knock it off a purchase.

FAQ
Could you be so kind as to point me in the direction of a decent ski hire shop in meribel centre.
I have since bought the other skis I tried online from sport conrad for dead cheap to use for plastic racing here - bonus of getting to try multiple pairs at freeride meant I knew what they were like and that I would enjoy skiing on them so could order cheap from the web with no worries about not liking them once they arrived!
