Ski hire options

Me again! :mrgreen:

Decided not to buy any skis in the end, so I need to hire some now.

Obviously it's cheaper to hire online before I go, but prices seem to vary from shop to shop.

I've found the following:

Skiset (as advertised on here)
Snowbrainer (seems the cheapest and same hire shops used as Skiset)
Sport 2000 (seems a reasonable price, but only 1 shop)
Intersport (expensive)

Can anyone recommend any of the above? Has anyone used Snowbrainer before?

Many thanks,

Very much depends on where you are going to.
I have used skiset in the past and got unlucky with the shop they used, whereas I have never had a problem with Sport 2000.
Price them all up for your resort and make a decision.

Where are you going?

Courchevel 1850

I turned 30 and decided to take a luxury ski trip staying in a 4* chalet, rather than my usual more budget version!

I see it more as money saved on skis means money to spend on gadgets or a new hat or something!

I think I'm swaying towards the ski2000, as I'm sure they're the ones I used about 7 years ago when staying at Courchevel 1650. (I was a poor student then, so couldn't afford 1850...)

Good thinking. Chalets are the way forward for me too, no eating costs and we tend not to spend as much on apres now either.

As for ski hire, I'd just go with whoever gives you the best discount and who has the nearest shop to your chalet.

Enjoy.

I used snowbrainer last week. The hire shop said that they preferred skiset but that's probably because skiset were dearer and the hire shop got a bigger cut. Cynical? Me?

Anyway, saved over £30 using snowbrainer, booked the 'bronze' skis and boots, turned up in the hire shop and they got me to complete a form. Came out with 'silver' skis & boots.
