Fair enough Scnapps, but what about Arnaud's assurance?
Have to say, I never insure ski gear, if someone nicks my skis, good luck to them, I'd like to see them ski on them!
Since in 43 years of skiing, I have never had theft insurance, and not had gear stolen, I guess I am a wee bit ahead of the game.
And if it happens? Well, I'll just spend another £50 on skis. )

Aldi gear for the most part is of good quality. It has to pass German procurement standards. I am quite critical of gear, mainly because it has to do a lot of ski weeks. I never look at the label. Function and quality are prime.
I recently tried on a pair of so called branded sallopettes in a big ski store, priced at £250. They were pretty poor.

Peace, goodwill, and DEEP SNOW to all J2skiers.
Lang may your lumb reek!

Schnapps, how could you not leave them unnattended? Everyone has to eat, drink, pee.

Anyway, Arnaud has given you the definitive answer from Skiset, J2ski's ski rental of choice. And a very good outfit they are too.

It is looking good for the coming week.....

Emma, the future's orange!

Ade, you will finnd that the Reps are offering a combined mini-bus and lift pass, at least a couple of days a week.
If you decide to go yourself, you could phone Werner Rist, will pm you his phone no.
Mention my name, he will give you a price. If you google the skiWelt tourist office, you can then find out the price of day cards.

Good info, Basketcase, I had misplaced the website. Thanks for that.
Five days is normal at 139 Eu, leaving one free day. Having said that, 6 Eu difference is a good buy, especially with the best ski school in Tirol!

It's a bit too soon for packing, it's not even Christmas Eve yet ~ time to start looking for a pressy for the OH.
I will print off my packing list tomorrow, (I keep one for summer, one for winter) Then will just prepare my painting gear. All the rest can wait until Christmas Day.
