 Poster: A snowHead
|
A group of us are heading to Soll for a few days of ski fun . We are all happy intermediates (some happier than others). We are looking to rent skis.
We usually pre book skis before hand, with varying degrees of success and are thinking that this time we might try a walk in as we arrive mid-day on a Saturday.
Has anyone a recommendation for a ski hire shop in Soll? Also what exactly should we be looking for to know if the ski we are getting are decent? (outside of general rule of length, and seeing that the edges are sound) i.e should we be checking the spinginess etc? (we only have 3 days on the slopes so hoping to get a few pointers to help narrow down the selection. I know everyone is different, and no one rule fits all)
I would appreciate any input.

Only one answer - Edinger Sport - under the Gondola - tell them what kind of skier you are and they will keep you right. They have ski garage there too - worth it.

Slev, defo Edinger, we pre booked their ski's and boots and it was cheaper than just walking in. They really know their stuff and pleasant friendly guys, very efficient. Plus best location for storage, your boots are warm in the morning.................have fun

Will look into Edinger Sport.(thanks E and Z)
I think the ski locker is a must (Nancy Sinatra wasn't singing about ski boots after all.)
Any tips regards what we should be looking out for skis?

Slev, Another vote for Edinger.Top notch service,and really knowledgeable guys.They will sort you out no problem.Frankly,I wouldn't bother looking anywhere else(not that you have too many choices anyway).And,for a group,they will crack you a deal anyway

Slev, You will not be disappointed......have fun 
Quick tip.As you only have 3 days,you will want to max your skiing.Spend half a day on the Soll area,then head off towards Brixen as it goes on for miles.Quickest route is up the second gondola,but you face a short,sharp,and often icy black  If you're not comfortable with that,take chair No4(to the left of the 1st gondola)and,as you near the top,you will spot a road going under the chair and away to your left.This will lead you to chair No6,and away into the Brixen area.Be wary of the piste map(and the signage),as its not the best,and can be a bit confusing
