Just placed a deposit for Obergurgl in December and BA are now charging £80 return for a pair of skis. Thats £160 charge for me and the Wife. This now asks the question is it now cheaper to hire your skis at the resort? What do regulars think? :evil:

I like it, good common sense data. Perhaps you should copyright this and sell it to Where to Ski and Snowboard Guide. I would look out for the JohnSkidensity score! :D

Nitty,
My Wife's liners were not heated however, we paid for an additional insert/insole approx cost £50. This takes on the natural foot posture and rectifies arch/pressure problems. Therefore you may wish to take some advise from a professional boot fitter to see if this will benefit you before paying out any cash. It takes about 20-30 minutes but in my Wife's case was well worth it. We skied for a week in December with no problems whatsoever. So it was the first time in 5 years that she went pain free. This saved us money on taxi fares getting her back to the hotel! :lol: |

Hi Nitty,
My Wife suffered from the same problem. At times she was in agony with this problem. Like you she has broad calfs. She was fitted up with a pair of Tecnica boots last year. These boots were also fitted with a moulded personal insole. The type you get from Snow & Rock once a heat impression of your foot has been taken. She has not had a problem since and loves them boots. The other problem may be ski technique such as skiing in the backseat, this places pressure on the back of your calfs and causes bruising or cramps. Hope this may help you. ) |
