Hi all, can someone recommend a decent hire shop in or around St Anton? Something with not just the usual carving choices. Thanks J

Fauner sports staff are great. Very knowledgable and also you can store your skis and boots there overnight rather than the walk back to your hotel.

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

jablonka, Alber Drop-In next to Galzigbahn is great, and stores skis/ poles (and boots if required in heated lockers) every night, think its 2-3€ per night. Our skis got delayed by Lufthansa last year by a day and hired top range Volkl skis, all the latest gear in all the shops. Contrary to the comments that there is a cartel on rates, you can haggle and get a deal if theres a few of you. Also try the shop thats under Anton Bar (opposite the roundabout), forget the name but they have loads of freeride fat skis. Fauner +1 also.

Can also vouch for Fauner. Last year used Intersport at the bottom of the slope a few strides from the chairlift. Ordered specific skis online for me and the Mrs and they were there in the rack waiting when we got to the shop. 2 mins setting up the bindings and we were off! They had a very good range of top end skis to choose from.
Teutonic efficiency at its best.... 
A quick price survey will tell you that every shop is exactly the same, sky high price but there ain't a deal you can do about it. Unless, like Markymark29 says, you can negotiate a bulk deal.

Prices are high, some of my mates have there own boots but not skis so I've advise that they may be better offer trying to get some secondhand skis and pay the carriage if they can find any bargains. Iv just bought some brand new still in the wrapper Rosignol S6's for £140 off eBay so might flog my old pair onto one of them!
