After a recent visit to Laax Switzerland I was shocked at the price of Hiring Skis | Ski Rental….so much so it gave me heartburn!
I Snowboard, have my own Boots and Board BUT my wife and children needed Skis and Boots so I just went with the whole flow of Renting…..I’ve done it before, so I’ll do it again, no hassle!
I rented through an INTERSPORT Shop…..£178.00 Skis & Boot Hire for an Economy set!!!
Them I saw this FB Post from Telegraph Ski and Snowboard in Partnership with Intersport, it made my blood boil!
Here’s my response to their Facebook Post
