Working with Salomon

We work closely with our partner Salomon and both departments now have some of the best wintersports equipment available. And don't forget!.. it's now also possible to reserve your skis prior to your arrival in Courchevel. You can view this season's range of hire ski equipment here.

In order to obtain optimum performance from your skis it is imperative they are well maintained and serviced regularily. A correctly tuned pair of skis afford better control and a higher degree of safety. The skis capacity to glide and turn is reduced when incorrectly tuned by that we mean ther skier has to expend more energy and consequently results in a higher and faster level of fatigue. To get the maximum pleasure and performance from your skiing it is essential to take advantage of the latest design developments in ski technology.

Children's Hire

In the past, children have had to go to the local ski shop to hire their equipment. However, thanks to our increased capacity, we can now offer a wide choice of kids' skis, boots and helmets. Children under the age of twelve can take advantage of the low price on the full package of skis, boots and safety helmet of £70 / €90 inclusive. (Boots £25, Skis £35, Helmet £10).

There are two main factors that influence ski performance;

Edges - Good sharp edges provide grip affecting the turning response and feel of the skis.

Base - Flat waxed bases glide across the snow more effectively and ease turning.
