Sup amigos,

I was recently browsing on some ski equipment sites and i picked out a set of ski's and bindings and added it to my checklist to see how much it would be with delivery and all the other malarkey...Anyways when i was at the checkout on the site it asked if i would like the bindings mounted and where i would like them and gave me 4 options of:
-Core Centre (FS)
-True Ski Centre
-Traditional Centre (FR)
-3 Pin (Telemark Standard)

Although i was only just wondering, if i was to buy a pair online; how would i know what to select for the mounting point ?

Yeah id never, ever pre-book my ski's online, and as you said although its more money its totally worth actually seeing the ski's before you hand the money over.

Been looking at a few of the links and none them actually show what types of skis they have up for rent - instead just the name of the package, bronze. silver, gold etc...Presumably they have a range of twin tip/freestyle ski's ?

Oh another quick question is there any ski rental shops around, if so do you know the names of them I'd like to have a browse of what skis they got to offer, I'm liking the feel of the slight fatter and more of a rocker from a ski.

Thanks a lot Bandit and Admin that's cleared a few things up !

Cheers thats gives me a better idea, so i'm guessing to get up to the The Grands Montets is going to be about a 25 min bus journey ?

Thanks, gummy.

Yeah those are the ones.

Right thanks for the heads up guys ! As for the other lifts that take me to Chamonix's actual ski areas how long does it take because from reviews and reading up about it, nothing seems to be clear, about how long does it takes to get to them, i am aware there is a 1 minute walk to ski bus stop.

Thanks again guys, Gummy.

Just wondering if anyone ever been there, its in Chamonix, France ?
If any of you have, or have heard about it, any feedback will be much appreciated ?

Also can you ski off from the Aiguille du Midi cable - might be a stupid question but I'm a bit confused, as its only 300m from the apartments.

Thanks, Gummy.
