Good Morning
Last year I booked Ski Hire online with Ski Set using a promotional code I got off Snowheads Home page where they were advertising,has anyone seen any siimilar ad this yr?
If not can anyone rec a similar site, we are going to les Deux Alpes on the 15th Jan and a few in the group want to book Ski Hire, we are going with Crystal, but I seem to remember it was cheaper online.
Thanks
Tilly

tilly, I did a comparison of prices, just yesterday, for our trip in 3 weeks time. Snowbrainer were significantly cheaper than Ski Set, even with various discount codes, and we booked with them. Same thing last year - kit was fine, shop was the same one that Ski Set used. Worth a few minutes 'shopping around'

Depends on where you staying obviously, but if you are near the centre of town Jandri/White Eggs the guys at Slide Planet (Skiset shop) are pretty good. They'll let you leave your skis and boots (even if you're not hiring boots from them) at night, and look after your normal shoes during the day.

If you want to get the best gear rather than the cheapest then I'd recommend Ski Extreme. I don't think they do online booking but they are willing to haggle http://www.skiextreme.fr/

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Actually just noticed that Ski Extreme do online booking now, in French only though. Their gear is always good and well maintained. Jutta who owns it and the guys working in there are very helpful too.

Anyone have a code for snow rental or snowbrainer - these are usually cheaper than skiset.

taffvalais, admin, that code gives me 25% off for our austrian hire which is not bad. this one gives 30% 'newskisetclubuk' emailed them last year looking for a better code than they normally give out and they gave me that one. just checked and it still works. I rang the ski shop to see if they would beat it and the shop owner said no way they could touch it even for a group of 11.

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

Interestingly, this place..... http://www.skiholidayextras.com/ can provide kit at lower prices for the same shops, than is offered with the Skiset discount codes. Certainly for the 2 examples I've tried (for L2A and Plagne 1800).
It's only a few € here and there though, so if snowheads gets a kickback for using their discount code it's worth using.

This voucher's run out but if you're skiing in France you can get 8% off hire with snowrental using voucher code FR8 if you book during February.
If I'd have waited a day I could have saved myself an extra €15

Just come back from La Plagne Center and booked some skis through Skiset based in the Hotel Terra Nova.
We looked on their website at suitable skis for me and wifey and chose what we wanted. We went to pick up our skis on Sunday morning only to find that the shop did not
stock ANY of the skis shown on the website.
It was not a case of the skis being out on hire, they did not keep them. We got given some right old clunkers until I complained and I still had to pay more money.
I eventually ended up with some Rossignol Zenith 9.5 skis which were OK but i still feel liked I have been deceived.
I sent a letter of complaint to Skiset and by coincidence a day later got an email with a satisfaction survey attached. I'm sure you can guess how I filled it in.
Very disappointed with that particular Skiset shop.
