skis and snow gear hire

The equipment we offer has stable boot/binding systems that offer enjoyable skiing. You may be able to hire cheaper skis elsewhere, but we have seen many users struggling with inappropriate hire gear in the snow, leading to disappointment. Discuss your needs with us.

We offer several categories of ski equipment:

NBC: Skis are metal-edged wider touring skis with NBC (NNN BackCountry) boots and bindings. This system is user friendly and offers excellent stability.  It is highly recommended for inexperienced skiers. Steel Edge: Steel edged touring skis with heavy duty leather  boots and cable bindings.

Premium Touring: Steel edged wide backcountry extended touring skis with cable bindings and plastic boots. Also suitable for backcountry telemarking.

Premium Telemark: Resort Tele skis, lots of sidecut, G3 cable bindings and Garmont plastic boots. Optional adjustable poles for serious telemarkers.
