Does anybody have any experience of booking ski hire through this link?
They are far and away the cheapest I've found...
Thanks

Seem to be just a reseller of intersport..

Skiset usually pretty good, book through quidco, and get cash back as well as the discount.

I'd previously been quite adamant on Snowheads about not pre-booking skis, due to the lack of flexibility if the shop's queuing out the door / not got the stock / is at other end of resort. However this season I'd been strongly recommended by a mate to use these guys with a voucher code.
1st trip - La PLagne - Paid less than ski republic charged others in our chalet on 2 for 1, got better/newer kit and didn't have to schlep to the another village - happy days. So used again for
2nd trip - Meribel, Paid about 60 euro for skis for a week, and got some very new Volkl unlimited which were ace. Guy ahead of me in the queue paid 149 euro for the same skis on a walk-up price.
being able to 'more or less' figure the shop locations vs. chalet locations on google maps, and with the huge saving vs. pre-book and break-even vs. paying to fly your kit I think I'm quite converted...

James the Last, I used them last December in Fieberbrunn. Fabulous efficient Intersport shop. Got exactly what I booked. And they were the cheapest by some way.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I've now used them twice and have booked cheaper (and better) kit than anybody else...
Only hiccup was third time when I tried to book them on Thursday night for Saturday rental. Paid by paypal and didn't hear from them on Friday, or Saturday (rang them, emailed them) - so booked through another online agent which was more expensive. Received a message on Monday apologising and with a paypal refund.

came across this web site by accident when googling Kapp www.mietski.com. less than 20euro for six day rental in jan!! they also add obligatory insurance of 15 eur on to that. their boot rental is 39eur which is prob more expensive than normal but for skis only a total of 30- 35 eur seems like too good to be true.
anybody used them? is the equip from the 1990's? is it a scam web site? they have rental in lots of locations according to the web site but have only 1 shop in each locality. ie for ischgl, kappl and galtur the only shop is in Galtur.

You know it makes sense.

hi snowheads, help please
can anyone update on this company, they state they are part of Rent2000, they are cheaper than booking direct with the Rent2000 site for ski hire in Alpbach for my trip next week, but slightly nervous is a scam site
thanks

ribblevalleyblue, I've dealt directly with alpinresorts. In my experience they keep their word and pay their bills.
They seem perfectly sound to me.

I can vouch for them as well - used them 3 years ago to rent in Saint Gervais. I messed up my booking with them this year (chose the wrong dates) and they immediately refunded my mistake when I re-booked the correct dates with them. They are pretty darned cheap for where I am going. Booked with the Intersport shop in Les Gets - 8 days skiing over 1/2 term week...

I've used them for the last two years in Tignes. I've never had a problem, infact they went out of their way to get me a helmet that fitted correctly.

They came up with a very competitive price in les Houches at an intersport shop.
