Storing ski boots
Started by User in Ski Hardware, 2 Replies
Hi,

What is the recommended method for storing ski boots during the closed season ?

Buckles open or closed ? and does the plastic become less flexible with age ?

Thanks

Marcus

Me too !
Arriving on 9th for one week. I have been before, it is an amazing ski area with plenty of variety and usually good clear weather during the days. It is made up of a number of different villages, all linked together.

Where exactly are you staying ?

2 years ago we booked 3* full board in Borovets for £ 180.00 each !
I have taken skis on many trips, with Crystal ski mainly, I usually take the skis in a ski case and the boots in a seperate boot bag, usually with a towel or something for protection. I have always paid for the ski carriage, and never had any problems at all, they take the skis and boots as "one item" and pack them in the hold. touch wood, never had anything damaged. This time I'm taking a bigger ski bag, with 2 pairs inside, and one boot bag, I don't expect any problems.

If you want something like an Ibis hotel, there is a decent new one in Maubeuge, its a crap town a bit off the beaten track, but straight up the A2 from Reims, and this road eventually leads to Valenciennes where you can pick up the road to Lille. I have also used an Etap hotel at Reims Tinqueux, that was chap and clean, there are a bunch of similar ones all around the Reims Tinqueux shopping centre, I think it is the junction of 2 Motoways.

Good Luck !

I know this area of France quite well, and can say that St Quentin is twinned with Rotherham, Neither place is desirable to spend the night. Have you looked on the Alastair Sawyday, special places to stay website ? we've used this before to find a stopover, most of the places are british owned and small B&B's where you are guaranteed a good meal, decent company and reasonable standard of accomodation.

Plus only an hour further on you can be in Lille, which has plenty to offer.
