Poster: A snowHead
|
A friend of mine has managed to borrow a pair of skis, for our trip to VT next Saturday (14th). However, he doesn't own boots, and it seems to be a nightmare trying to pre-book boot hire.
Can anyone advise?
Booking skis on their own, simple, not so much the other way round.

They had boots for £47 in Decathlon this afternoon....

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

I'm very sure if you rock up to any sports rental shop and say 'can I rent some boots please?' the answer will be yes. Twenty quid a day or so.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

At £20 a day I would buy a pair and get them fitted properly.

I think it was about £6 a day on that link I gave. Still quite a bit, but hardly £20.

Ski bindings will need adjusting to fit them too. Make sure DIN is set correctly also.

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

Callai, leave the planks at home and rent skis too. They'll be newer, better, sharper and you won't have the aggro and expense of carting these other ones around.
15-25€ a day for the combo depending on what you want/need
