Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm staying in Meribel in mid January. I have a a pair of ski so the only equipment I need to hire is ski boots. All the packages I can find online include ski and boots. What is a reasonable amount to pay for a weeks hire of boots only. I'm trying to work out if I should buy a pair before I go or just settle for renting. Any opinions would be really helpful.

Ulysses, Most sites quote a price for skis and a price for skis and boots. The difference should give you a guide to boot hire priced.

The boot only price is much more than the difference between the ski only and ski+boots price. My brother found this out when we were in Hemsedal last week as he got a pair of boots from a different provider next to the slopes as his previous set (supplied with skis etc) were killing him and the other hirer shop was a couple of miles and lots of lost skiing time away.
Price was about £25 for 5 days. The difference between skis+boots and skis only was £10.
Not a huge sum anyway.

so there's not much benefit in renting skis only is there? (i mean beyond the non financial advantages of owning a pair of boots). I am surprised that the differecne is 10eur per week only....
