Questions about

Our ski techs travel with a wide range of boots for various types of foot shapes and sizes and they will happily talk to you for ages while you try on all the pairs we stock, and if you decide the first pair were perfect after all, then that's fine too.
Tell your host or text us and we will come back – as many times as you need us to at no extra cost.
Tell your host or txt us, and we will meet you at the base station chairlift in your resort, so you don't have to go back to your place or even down as far as the ski shops!
No problem – there is no charge for changing equipment [unless you upgrade of course]. Just let us know and we will meet you at your place.
No, simply ride on back to your catered chalet or apartment and we will come and pick them up.
That depends; we cover you for free against damage – so no worries there, and in most cases your travel policy will cover you for theft or loss, so you need only take out extra cover if you do not want to pay in resort and then claim it back at home.
We have a resort number for you to txt or call whenever you need us.
