For the Pyrenees I always recommend www.snowrental.net which tends to be cheaper there than other similar sites/services (who seem to concentrate their better offers on the Alps).
Have a great trip. Fingers crossed for a third successive year of top conditions in the Eastern Pyrenees! Still pretty mild so far though, so no crazy early/mid November starts this season I fear.

Hi spent a winter in Barcelona a couple of years ago and went to Pas most weekends. We used to go online and book in advance - just google ski hire in Andorra and see what you find. Am going with friends for a week in Feb myself and we have got ski and boot hire for 65 pounds for the week. We went to Austria last year and paid 90 just for skis. Try www.snowrental.net

thx for the link ppl, snowrental.net does seem pretty good, about £60 for intermediatte ski's and boots!
ok this is probably a stupid question, but is there a real difference between bigginer/intermediate/advanced ski's? ive been a few times now, always used bigginers until last trip when someone let me use there intermediate ski's,they felt quicker and better controlled??? was that just me????
thx all

I would check to see which of the rental places are near to your accommodation. Pas is quite big.
We used Skiset which has a map of the village showing their shops.

Almost all of the rental shops have branches at the bottom of the Solana lift, near Paddy's bar.
We have done just as well by haggling with the shops when we got there. You can end up with better kit if you haggle on arrival as they aren't going to get a decent price by offering 3 year old skis to entice you. The shop just up from Le Husky let you use free ski lockers if you rent from them.
We always used Paddy's for the lockers, which was about €20 a week. They are very helpful and now have a website for all things Pas...

If you are up the hill, you definitely want to use a locker by the slopes. Paddy's is good for Apres and happy hour is during apres.
Pas is great fun, you'll have a great time there.

alexsam97, if you're in Apartments Crest then Paddy's lockers are a bit closer as they are on the Crest side of the horseshoe at the bottom of the slopes.

Perhaps I'm not a refined enough skier, but the last trip I went on I hired intermediate - can't say I noticed a lot of difference between those and the beginner ones I'd used previously. The one thing I did find though, is that the intermediate skis were a lot lighter so less of a hassle to carry!

alexsam97, Don't forget to try Catsbys on the hill for a few jars, they usually have live music on there...or if you're in a group head for the fantastically named *ahem* Mulligans, just behind the Perla Negra.....actually that's a nice place to eat as is the Argentinian place across the road snowsteve, Do you know the place I'm talking about ???
Pas is great....you'll have a ball.

snowsteve, That rings a bell...I think it's near the Spar, but they do an Argentinian BBQ and it's served on a plank of wood....even my fat days I couldn't finish the amount they serve you.
Is the Pirate dude still knocking around outside the Perla Negra?.....he's one mad hoor altogether.
