Ski and snowboard gear: what to buy and what to rent
Rent skis and boards; buy the things that touch your body. Boots, a helmet, goggles, gloves and good clothing make the biggest difference to comfort and safety, and rental versions are the least reliable. These guides explain what to look for and list what’s in stock at a UK ski shop, with prices checked daily.
