  • snowboard hire - advice please!!!

    joelg

    Hi,

    Coming to Arinsal 22nd Feb, looking for the best quality snowboard equipment to hire in the resort, have found reviews from other people on the net saying different shops have better equipment 1 year and others the next because some upgrade one year and others the next.

    I know it is cheaper to book on-line in advance but I am concerned when I get to the shop the boards might be very basic with limited choice and not what I'm looking for and then it would affect my whole holiday. I only need the board, not boots. What is the best shop for quality snowboard equipment hire in Arinsal?

    My girlfirend needs board, boots and lesson package, we both also need lift passes.

    Any advice from anyone very appreciated!!!!!!

    Thanks,

    Joel :wacko:
  • Great, thanks very much Steve.

    I've just filled in the contact form as you suggested

    What an excellent forum this is, I wish I had discovered it before today ! Then I could have used it to shop around for prices for lessons, equipment hire and passes for our big group. Having said that, Maria at our hotel has been brilliant too

    I'm soooo excited about getting there tomorrow. I just hope to God that my knee holds out for more than one blue run !

    Cheers :)

    Steve

    There are 25 of us arriving tomorrow and a lot iof us will be looking to hire lockers (maybe 2 of the big ones). How do I contact you when we get there ? We are staying at Hotel Palarine and Maria - who runs the place - has been very helpful so far but we haven't discussed lockers with her yet so I'm hunting around for ideas now.

    Cheers
  • Thanks,

    We land in Barcelona at 19:00. I'm not to sure on transfer times but I'm sure by the time we get there you'll have better things to be doing on a sunday night.

    We've booked under my girlfriends name (Paula) just to confuse matters.

    Speak to you monday.

  • Your winter sports travel insurance should cover you for breakages or theft of equipment, just check your policy for details. Additional breakage insurance is available directly from St Moritz at the cost of €5 per set of equipment for the week.

    If you're arriving really late on the Sunday evening and want to meet me on Monday morning, just ring me when you want them (my phone number is on the vouchers) and I'll come around to your hotel.
  • Ski Insurance

    Matt

    I'm off to Arinsal this sunday stoping in the Hotel Comapedrosa (looks like you have plenty of snow for me!)

    Are the skis from St Moritz insured against breakagase/theft?

    I'm trying to work out if I should get my skis from yourselves at $114 for 6 days or from ski set at $131 for 6 with the 7th day free (st Moritz do 7 days at $133)

    Ski set include insurance in that price but I quite like the idea of having St Moritz next to my hotel.....

    I'll be getting my ski passes through here, how do we go about collecting them, I think we arive quite late on sunday so it would be first thing monday.

    Cheers,

    Matt.

    Steve, Could you inform me of the opening hours of the ski hire shops on a monday morning, or closing time on a Sunday evening.

    Thanks

  • Next week is half term so it's going to be busy, so if you want a couple of lockers I would suggest heading there as soon as you can. The other option is a locker for 10 sets that I can organise (see a couple of posts above).
