I was seduced by 2-for-1 Ski Republic offer, booked online in Val d'Isere, the shop was chaos, we didn't get the gear we reserved, it was all old when they said it would be new (rank with 'the cheque is in the post'), and the promised sexy footbeds were line a Scholl liner. It could just be that this branch was badly run... any other experiences?
My thinking is, will it make me ski better? Or, another way of looking at it, it's the price of a sandwich...
Used Ski Republic in Val d'Isere a few weeks ago, and found them to be very good. However, Snowberry across the road get exceptionally good reviews.
That's the cheapest upgrade I've ever heard of. Gonna be tricky for you to know whether you'll definitely get better skis, or whether they'll make you ski better.
I'd suggest that for only 5 euros, you trust the shop to give you better kit, and see for yourself how you ski.

A few of my mates in work have booked on this site and seemed to have done ok off it. We are going to Kaprun on Saturday but it seems they only cover French resorts (i think) so we have booked ours with a website called Snow Brainer.
All the best, I know booking booking can be tedious, however believe it is best doing it online for a good deal.

It will be second trip this year. I still consider myself a beginner. Going to Niederau.
I'm being offered standard skis/ boots or superior ones as part of my package.
Which ones should I get?
Thanks
