I've worked a bit with Ski Set but not for a long time.
Generally this year's skis are Platingum (or however you spell it). You
may find that they are not suitable for your ability level. Why don't
you reserve Silver then upgrade when you get to resort if they are not good?

The main problem with hire gear are boots. Skis - well I can ski pretty
much anything I want on any ski, short, fat, long, skinny - I even skied
a blue at Val d'Isere on some cross-country skis last winter :-), it
doesn't make too much difference.

If you are going on a regular basis why not buy some boots?


Thanks for the advice, If I go next year then I will certainly try and
buy some boots. The Salomons that I hired this year I found
uncomfortable but did not impact on my skiing too much. They just
looked like they had been thrown down the mountain.

I'll go for the gold skis (probably) and change if I dont like them.

For those of you who could not find the skst website, it's he

www.skishop.fr

It has all their equipment there
