It's not a bad deal, but depends on how good/bad the gear is - are you in 1550, 1650 or 1850?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I have been asking for a group that I am taking out on 6 Feb. All ski hire places seem to be prepared to discount if you ask nicely. Ski Set are doing 40% discount on line - their basic skis are cheap after discount but better ones escalate sharply. Ski Republic are doing skis and boots for 60 euros as part of a BOGOF deal. Also try Ski Higher (in 1850) or Gliss Sport in 1650 (really nice and helpful older guy in there who we have used before). Ski Higher will deliver to chalets if you're lucky.
Enjoy Courchevel - a great place to learn in my view

1550. Just wondered if I would find similar prices out there?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

The Ski Hire prices in 1550 are cheaper. I hired 5* skis and 4* snowboard last week via the internet at Alpin Resorts and there was a £20 difference between 1650 and 1550.

No, order and pay for them online at Alpinresorts.com and quote the promotion code "News133". This will get you 47% discount. You specify which grade and which shop you want to collect the skis from, and Courchevel 1550 is cheaper than 1650 and 1850 for the same skis.
Just looked at the site and 4* Rossignol Zenith Z3.0 or equivalent are charged at £47.33 for six days.

You could look at skimium.com. 20% online discount & another 5% if you have a Decathlon card. They use local shops & my experience is its worth comparing them all.

£85 is a good deal even if you are on 1550 . . . !!!CNA license verification
That is a really cheap one and let me know which agent is proving it .
Thanks in advance .

Come early enough for the interview. Before it starts you may need to complete some employment application forms. And be punctual, this is extremely important. Get late for the interview and you can forget about the place you have applied for. http://www.certifiednursingassistantcna.com/

alec_brickie, we have used Snowbrainer for the past two years and been very pleased (not in C 1550 though....) The shop Snowbrainer used for us, is the same as Ski Set but significantly cheaper. The gear (skis only in the case of most of our group) was ready on arrival, with name stickers, so all very efficient. We got the skis we ordered and had no complaints. Worth a look when you are comparing
