Hey guys, so im off next week and need to sort out some rentals and lessons for the missus, any recommendations?

I see there is a link on here for rentals, would that be the cheapest place generally speaking?

Also any recommended instructors/schools?

Thanks for all the advice!
I have just booked Chamrousse for March, wohoooo cant wait to get back on the slopes!!!

Hi All, thanks for all the advice.

I have had a browse and there seem to be a few deals with a free lift pass which would obviously help keep the cost down!

Theres one at Chamrousse at the moment which im considering, I assume it is a local pass, anyone know if this covers a decent range?

Thanks for the advice guys.

I will have a look at Crystal, not too keen on Ski Weekends, coaching doesn't sound too pleasant!

Any recommendation's on decent resorts in the cheaper counties?

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where to go on a cheap ski trip?

I will be going with the newbie missus so probably alot of time on the baby slope!

Ideally looking to go at some point next month, flexible on dates!

Looking to spend around 500pp, possibly a little more...

Ideally some sort of package with flights, transfers, accommodation, ski pass included, is this asking for too much lol ?

I guess mid range scott poles it is then!
Thanks for the help guys!

Hi All,

- They all look the same... what are the main things to look out for?
- Which material, Allum, Graphite, Carbon?
- Also any brands which are better than others?

Any advice or recommendations will be very much appreciated.
