I can't be bothered with carting my kit out there*
It costs more each year to service and trasport my skis than hiring the best set of skis in history. Plus, I need three sets really, a piste set, some big mountain skis and some park skis. If I hire them, I can swap them on a daily basis. So what's the point? I just keep them for scotland now

*I take my own boots. Hire boots are fucking awful and smell of Frenchmen's piss.

Boots are the imporatant factor here
Also the hire stuff seemed cheap this year

yeah, boots are crucial
snowboard boots less of a problem because they are more comfortable, but a badly fitting set of ski boots will totally ruin your week

I'm sure you're right.
They are at least more comfortable, though.

but yeah
I'm one of the last of my friends to move back to hire skis. The current plan is - one ovesized snowboard bag so only one ski charge, chuck in three sets of 1080s so you've each got park skis, hire the rest over there. Bonus.
