Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

At a guess, crap.

My boyfiend rented the top level from skiset in ADH and they tried to palm him off with some god-awful pice of crap that should have been decomissioned 6 seasons ago. They maintained that was all they had! After a while they did produce the board that he had actually requested but only in 1 size which was far too short for him. He took it anyway as it was still better than the alternative.

There's a reason most snowboarders have their own kit; snowboard hire is no where near up to the standard of ski hire. Every holiday we've been on my boyfriend has had something not right abotu the set up; crap board, crap bindings, wrong length, board too narrow etc etc etc.

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

Another hire discount chain is alpinresorts.
They and skiset cover some of the same locations and some are unique to one or the other.

What kat.ryb, said - hire boards are a heap of poo-poo as a rule. Having said that, Ski Republic in 2Alpes do some reasonable kit, don't know if that applies to their shops in other resorts.

If you can afford to, get your own boots. Makes a world of difference if you have boots that fit properly.

Beg, steal, borrow, money for birthday, christmas wharever it takes. As said above most people I know have had problems with hire boards, often the bindings being loose/breaking. There are some good bargains to be had if you search the web. Picked up a couple of excellent boards a couple of years ago for only £99, last seasons graphics apparently!

There are exceptions - if you can find a snowboard shop as opposed to big standard ski hire shop - maybe a burton centre or similar - must be something decent in morzine - not sure about les gets - worth a search to see if anyone can recommend the best option rather than going with crappy ski hire shop eh?
