 Poster: A snowHead
|
As the post reads really.
I've been recommended these guys for ski hire, but can't find a website - only third-party sites who pass on your details/booking details.
As I get older I get fussier about my skis, so like to check what stock they actually hold rather than working on generic equipment levels ('sport', 'premium', 'expert', etc.).
Thanks in advance.

haven't been there for a few years but they are a good independently owned shop. certainly used to have a decent range of freeride skis; seem to recall that some people got hold of good piste skis from them too. definitely the sort of place where you go in and they let you choose what you like the look of rather than getting handed some generic rental things

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

Yes I've used them, they are very good. They did have a website, it doesn't seem to be there any more though. I think someone reported recently that their cheaper skis were pretty old so I'd go for the better ones. Give them a ring, Jutta speaks perfect English.

This is exactly what I'm after - so will try ringing/emailing them.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I know ski extreme really well. It's kind of like a club for off-piste skiers at 2 Alpes. They are the only "serious" shop in the village. They do great ski repair and can tell you everything there is to tell. They have a good choice of free-ride and free-style skis to rent, but that depends on the demand, when they're gone they're gone. They rent also ordinary skis and boots and avalanche safety gear etc.
Jutte is the owner and she is really nice and speaks perfect English.
My experience is that they will do everything they can to help you out!
Ciao,
Bob
ps. their website seems to have disappeared, I don't know why...

We've used them all 3 times we've been to L2A - mainly coz they're the shop Easiski recommends and we do as she says. Never had any trouble and this year my son got to be the first person to ski some brand new park skis.

Thanks for the info - sounds like this is the shop to go for!
Does anyone know how far it is from the Hotel Berangere (the Mark Warner place)?
I always seem to choose the shop at the opposite end of the village - so I'm fully expecting a long walk laden with me and my girlfriends gear!

Hi used them on recommendation over Christmas really friendly and all spoke excellent english. My partner has really big feet and they didn't have boots to fit so they got a brand new pair for him no hassle and reasonable on charges, I would reccomend them.
