Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
Has anyone got any experience of hiring from Polaire Star in Bourg St Maurice? I'm staying in Bourg for a few days next month and I was thinking of hiring skis from them. They are a fair bit more expensive than some of the other hire shops (but they are convenient for where I'm staying). Hoping someone could confirm they were a decent place and whether or not the extra cost was worth it.
Thanks

Polaire Star is an excellent place run by a British couple who are very friendly and helpful. Very convenient, right next to the funicular. Also, they will store your skis & boots overnight for a small fee.

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

And at least in the early days of sH they'd give us discounts - worth asking.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Used them at Christmas and they were excellent. You can store skis and boots overnight too. We got a discount because of where we were staying too, so check with your accommodation.

+1 in support, Gordon and Rosie - very nice people. Not cheap, but good kit and good service - and excellent situation if staying in BSM and using the funni.
