For anybody who might be interested, I went with Equilibres and was very happy! Considerably cheaper than Skiset and much better kit. Thibault and Seb in the shop were really friendly and helpful...

Tempted to go with Equilibres as I've heard good things - any opinions out there?

Thanks - will avoid the Aiguille Rouge shop then! Anybody else with any experience?

Just wondering if anybody had any recommendations for the best ski rental/hire shop in Arc 2000? I'm going at the weekend and am staying at Hotel Altitude. I know there's a Skiset shop in the same building but, from the pics, it looks like it's pretty small - I'm wary of them potentially not having a decent selection of skis available (have had this before).
Anybody happen to know which shop has the best or biggest rental stock? Plenty of time when I arrive on the Saturday avo to wander around and sort out but want to book in advance so as to get a discount... Cheers. |

For those of you Salomon users out there, found the link to download their shop manual, which has the DIN settings chart in it:
http://www.salomoncertification.com/download.jsp I wanted to get some advice from the more experienced skiers here. I've just bought some new skis (Salomon Aeromax TI + 711 bindings) and had them set them up for me in the shop. The guy did it fairly quickly though and the setting differs slightly (it's a bit higher) from the one I got from the Salomon chart and from various online tools. I am only concerned because, whilst being fairly young and fit, I don't have the strongest knees. Do any of you set your bindings to different values for front and back? I am thinking that, to prevent knee injuries from twisting, it could be a good idea to lower the front release slightly? By, say, 1/2 point to start with. Obviously, I am fully aware of the dangers of adjusting my own bindings but would be interested to hear opinions. |
