Quality skiing is all about

Quality EQUIPMENT

It's 'JUST RENTAL' I hear you say.

If you're coming on a SKI holiday, then you're probably coming to SKI. It is therefore VERY IMPORTANT to understand that the QUALITY of the equipment that you ski on, especially your BOOTS, has more influence on your skiing experience, your rate of improvement, your enjoyment and your safety than anything else.

The quality of your equipment matters!!!!!! Do not put up with low quality, cheap, commercial ski rental that is poorly fitted and potantially unsafe.

Snowberry

Snowberry Booking

Equipment Quality / Level

Snowberry is one of the few equipment rental centres where you can actually rent proper high-end 'retail specific' skis and boots, including many of the top models available from the main, well known, manufacturers ranges.

And equally important is that when we say a ski is an expert ski - then it is an expert ski and not a cheap, lowend imitation. What we do not do is fob you off with the cheap commercial 'rental specific' equipment that is commonly available from most of the commercial websites.

Boots & Bootfitting

As all good skiers know, the importance of correctly fitted ski boots cannot be overestimated. It is absolutely key to successful skiing - comfort, performance and improvement.

For this reason, we have developed our own unique ‘3-step’ boot-fitting process based on exactly the same principles you would experience in one of the world’s leading retail fitting centres.

The result is a totally unique and exclusive fitting system that gives skiers the ability to rent boots of a fit, quality and level that has previously been unavailable.

Our Bootfitting Process - Explained?

Snowberry

Boot shape & orthotic selection

Boot-fitting is made that bit more complex because of the dynamic nature of the human foot -constantly changing shape as we walk, run and even just stand still. This makes it impossible to assess the shape of a foot because it has no fixed or constant shape.

As the key to bootfitting is the selection of the correct shell shape to match an individual’s foot shape this creates a big problem for the bootfitter?

The simple answer is, it is impossible to select a suitable boot model and fit it correctly without firstly limiting the foots dynamic behaviour by stabilising the foot using a skier specific orthotic - it simply cannot be done!

Our unique bootfitting process uses a selection of boot model shapes (over 30) each model carefully paired with 1 of 7 different orthotic types - Snowberry are the ONLY shop that we know of that actively uses a system of orthotics in ALL our rental boots (even for children).

Snowberry

Skis & Ski Technology

The Snowberry ski department is unique. We know of no other website or shop, where you can actually rent such a huge choice of proper high-quality skis covering all the different classification types.

We have 5 different ability levels of adult skis and 2 of junior skis available from beginner to special expert / pro. When booking you select your ability level and we also allow you to select the age of your skis by selecting from Premium, Premium Plus or Eco ranges so we won't fob you off with 8 year old stock that really should have gone in the bin years ago!.

Snowberry

Ski Model Choice & Classification

We have well over 250 different models of ski and 20 models of boards to select from. Our selection covers all the main categories of skis available from narrow aggressive piste race oriented skis to wide offpiste performance skis. We also have a fantastic range of easier models for the more leisurely skier.

Our main ranges are made up of models that you can buy - we do not fob you off with low end rental specific models. This is important as sale specific skis are far better performing and the choice of models is far greater!

Top Tip

Always rent the newest equipment that you can get hold of. It makes a huge difference to your skiing.

Equipment that is more than 3 seasons old is past its sell by date, will have lost its liveliness, the edges will be blunt and the bindings are potentially dangerous!

A new era in ski rental

WHY SNOWBERRY

Who said ski hire should consist of:

  • waiting at a freezing cold bus stop to get to the hire shop
  • standing in a long queue waiting half an hour or more before anyone even approaches you and then not understanding a word they say
  • feeling disappointed and a bit cheated when you're handed a scratched up pair of skis that aren’t really what you wanted and have obviously seen better days
  • being asked your size and handed a pair of boots as if you were at the local bowling alley
  • being told it's a busy week so your 5 year old can't have a helmet
  • hardly being able to ski at all because the boots you are given are actually 2 sizes bigger than your feet
  • asking to change your skis and being told that will cost 15 euros extra, or even worse just that they have no skis left so you can't change at all
  • being served by a spotty 18 year old who seems to know a lot less about skis and skiing than you do
  • Not at Snowberry!

    We've looked at all of this, and everything else, that's wrong with the way ski hire has "traditionally" been done and then looked at how it SHOULD be done. And that's what you will find at Snowberry.

    Elsewhere you pay the same price whether you're one of the lucky ones who gets one of the very few pairs of new skis or one of the unlucky ones who gets kit that's a long way past its sell by date. We don't think that's fair!

    We believe if you want new skis you should be able to book them and be guaranteed to get them, and if you are prepared to compromise on older skis you should get a cheaper price - so that's the way we do it.

    Likewise, with boots and bootfitting, we're horrified how little importance (none!) other shops place on getting it right. It's quite simple, if your boots are wrong you might as well forget it! With other shops, if you're lucky they just might measure the length of your feet but many don't even bother with that.

    At Snowberry we carry out a full eight point, four dimensional foot analysis, and that's before we use our expertise to select not just the right size but the right shape as well from our range of over 60 different boot models.

    On top of that there's our fantastic staff (almost 400 season's of experience between us), our two huge and superbly-located shops and all of our unique, innovative and exclusive "Snowberry Extras" designed to make your ski hire experience - and your whole holiday - as perfect as possible.

    Ski shops are NOT all the same.

    Snowberry is widely regarded as one of the best ski hire shops in the world and for good reason. At Snowberry we have always specialized JUST in rental and we're passionate about making the whole rental experience as great as it can be. Over the years we have taken the whole concept of ski hire back to the drawing board and re-designed it bit by bit.

    Boots & Bootfitting

    Equipment Age

    Choice of Equipment

    Of course our equipment is what it's really all about, and we certainly believe that it's our job and our responsibility to make sure you get the very best and most suitable equipment for your time on the slopes.

    Once again we've bought way more rental kit than any other shop in town - in fact probably more than most of them put together.

    We don't buy cheap rental versions. We don't put intermediate skis in our advanced categories to keep our costs down. We don't window dress with a few shiny, new skis which hardly anyone is ever going to get. And we don't buy second rate brands that no-one every heard of or chain store own brand models either.

    Nor do we mislead you by telling you our skis are "top quality", "recent", "high end" or whatever. And we certainly don't con you by showing you pictures of the latest models and hiding "or similar" in the small print only for you to find that the "similar" model you are give on arrival is nothing like the ski you hoped for in style, quality or age. Ok, it has a bendy bit at the front and a bit you stick your feet in the middle, but that's where the similarity ends!

    Rent from Snowberry and we give you the choice of this season's new skis, last season's ones or our two season old budget kit - STILL newer and in better condition than the stuff you will end up with from a lot of shops in town. YOU choose how old your skis are, and the price of course matches!
