French Pyrennees - ski station recommendations?

Another question about the Pyrenees resorts.

I think I'm going to be snowboarding in Cauterets one day and Bareges/La
Mongie another, i.e. 2 days total. Current hypothesis is that we will
rent in Cauterets.

Has anyone used the ski/snowboard rental services around there? Can you
rent at the slope or do you need to do it beforehand in a town? And do
you have to book? I've been spoilt by US resorts where the equipment
rental is always right next to the lift pass booth.

There are several rental places in Bareges, and La Mongie. I dn't see
why Les Cauterets should be any different.

In fact, I've never come across a European ski resort anywhere that
*didn't* have a rental shop.

We're not completely primitive, you know.
