Anyone used Snowbrainer.com?

So I've always hired my skis through the tour operator and it's been fine. I've always gone for the lowest grade as I've only been skiing for about 6 years and got 7 weeks under my belt.

Last year I pre-booked through SkiSet as they were offering 20% discount. The store wasn't a T/O store. I thought I'd upgrade to silver skis and boots instead of bronze.

Well this year I thought I'd pre book through SnowBrainer as they're offering a 25% discount.

My rather long winded question is, how do I know that when I get to shop they don't just take one look at me and give me the crappest skis even if I book decent ones?

Thanks

Steve

Steve, we (J2Ski) work directly with SkiSet, have access to the complete network of hire shops and can offer you the same discounts - if not better.

As SkiSet's top UK partner, we can also assure you of the best service possible (no, you won't get given crap ones). HTH.

Any decent hire shop will let you change your skis and boots if you're not happy with them.

Last year - 2010 - (first time of writing that!) my hired boots didn't fit very well because I'd had to rush through fitting them and I took them back and the staff were perfectly nice about re-fitting me some more.

And a few years ago my daughter's hired boots and skis were in a dreadful condition and we took them back and the shop was totally mortified and got her some new superb quality ones.

The last couple of years we've always paid extra to rent top quality boots and skis and the stuff is practically new and very good quality, and costs about £100 for skis and boots (after the early booking discount).

Thanks folks, I'll bear that in mind.

Cheers
