Skiing is one of the most exciting and adrenaline-pumping sports you can enjoy during the winter season. In fact, winter is not only a time of cold weather and hot chocolate drinking, but it is also a perfect time to practice this exciting activity and stay active and in shape all the time.
Every year, the mountain slopes are filled with tourists and skiers, professionals, who have fun leaving their trails on the soft white snow of our beautiful mountains. The first step to start this sport is to be equipped with all the necessary material to be able to practice the activity with total safety and comfort.
Whether this is your first contact with skiing, or you are already an expert skier, you will need to rent your skis, boots, helmet, and ski poles!
1. New And High-quality Equipment
The equipment you rent in the school or at the shop is always new equipment, treated with great care and, very often, material that has just hit the market. This allows you to ski with excellent equipment and, therefore, to do so in the best conditions. In fact, if you ski with this equipment half the work is already done, and you will be more than ready to give your best on the slopes!
In addition, the skis, helmet, poles and boots that you rent are always well cared for because it is the number one priority of the skiing staff that the equipment is treated careful and correctly, next to making sure that you will be satisfied!
2. A Great Economic Saving
Buying everything you need for skiing is very expensive! If you don't want to leave a whole in your wallet, but don't want to give up some incredible days in the snow, renting the ski equipment is the ideal solution. This, in particular, is the best choice for those who do not yet have much experience in this sport or for those who are trying it out for the first time. In fact, thanks to the rental you will be able to understand which equipment is best suited to you, so you can also purchase it later thanks to the advice of the professionals.
Moreover, very often you can save even more money with offers and unique packages if you rent for several days or if you rent it for the whole family.
3. Say Goodbye To Carrying Material Everywhere
For those who do not know, skiing equipment is very heavy. Can you imagine having to carry a heavy weight on your shoulders, from home to the piste, with the weight of the skis and all the rest of the equipment? Also, if you travel by car you will need to buy a ski rack or, if you travel by train, you might need to pay an additional ticket price, thus increasing the cost of your holiday.
For this reason, to rent your ski material is the best solution. Ski shops or schools are usually located right by the slopes, so you can avoid long walks and start your skiing session feeling already tired. You will be able to put on your new equipment and start your activity right away, saving energy so that you can do your best while skiing!
4. Insurance For The Equipment Is Included
Nobody wants this to happen, but it might be the case that the ski equipment could be damaged, broken or, in the worst-case scenario that someone could steal it between breaks during a ski trip. If this were your equipment, repairing it or buying it back would force you to spend large amounts of money.
By renting your ski equipment, insurance for theft or breakage is almost always included. Of course, the equipment should always be treated with great care, but in this way you don't have to worry too much about defects or theft and you can have fun on the slopes and enjoy your breaks without having to worry constantly.
5. Just Think About Having Fun
Skis, boots, poles, and helmet are all very delicate pieces of materials that skiers have to take great care of and spend time and money on. Every year the edges must be checked, the bindings adjusted, the insoles of the boots repaired, and much more.
This is another reason why renting the equipment is undoubtedly the solution par excellence! You don't have to take care personally of the quality of your skis, but the rental staff will make sure that the equipment you are given is in the best state and adapted to you! This way you will only have to think about having fun on the slopes and showing off your maximum performance.
When can you rent your ski equipment?
You can rent your ski equipment at the beginning of the winter season as soon as the slopes open. Usually, the season runs from the beginning of December to the end of March, but the dates are flexible depending on the abundance of snowfall.
However, if you don't want to wait until the last day to rent it, most schools and shops also allow you to rent it online and pick up the day before the activity, so that you arrive already prepared and don't miss a second of your time on the slopes!
What are you waiting for? Everything is ready, and the only thing missing is you!
