Dom, apart from the obvious benefits, one of the good ones is the number of friends and contacts you make if you are there for a season.
By the time you have been there a few weeks, you may well have discovered many different sources of skis. So why not try and strike a deal to rent skis for 2/3 weeks. This will allow you to try lots of different skis. And then, if there are a pair that you like, see if you can come to a deal.
This way, you have a much better chance of getting a ski that you like, and that are suitable for your style of skiing. Also, I would bet there isn't that much difference in cost.
Make friends with the ski techos, and shop staff, they are there for the season.
And if you aren't working, or only doing bits of work, of course you are a ski bum. :-)
