 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello
Don't want to make this sound like an advert, so apologies if it does, but due to feedback from a couple of super-mega-snowheads we have launched an avalanche transceiver rental service. With the snow rolling in at the moment, and us heading towards the latter part of the season, transceivers are an essential bit of kit esepcially if you are planning to do any off piste or venture further away to find fresh tracks.
And I would like to thank the snowheads members who suggested there was a need for a transceiver rental service, they seem to be pretty much booked out most of the time. Its not a big money maker for us, but I am an ardent user of transceivers and believer in having the right kit for the job, so hope this helps others who feel the same, but may not want to shell out for a unit yet, or are looking to ski with a group who are not so well prepared!
Do mention you are a member of snowheads if you decide to use us and we will sprinkle the packing box with some goodies

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Worth noting that you also rent the "holy trinity" of transceiver, shovel and probe.

Great idea! My friend was looking at it, but it does seem a little more expensive than other options.. Alpine Ski Club, for example, will rent a transceiver to non-members for £24 for 12 days. To cover an equivalent trip, yours will be £60! I know £60 is a bargain for something that could save your life, but still a large different in price. We're actually away for 8 days, but travelling by coach, so out of the country for 10. Would that be squeezable into a week's rental?

Thanks for the responses. I am aware of SCGBs offer as I am a member but many are not. Our pricing is as low as we can get it to make it viable to hold a large stock of these just to rent and we do offer a different service:
New high capacity alkaline batteries every rental. You keep them when you return re tracker. This is so you 100% know it is fully powered.
We use the latest BCA Tracker 2 digital transceiver. These are highly regarded
We include an instructional DVD
We ship using a recorded service to ensure each rental reaches you
We include a prepaid postage returns label- so you can just drop it into your local post office and pay nothing
Each unit is fully tested in dispatch and return. Some are still brand new, all are less than 10 weeks old
We offer free on site tuition at our premises
The key thing is to get people wearing these, wherever you borrow or buy one from :0)
