So, borrowing or buying, which is best for you?<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s Your Ability Level?<\/h2>\n<p>First of all, you want to consider your skill level before making the decision whether to rent or buy.<\/p>\n<p>From beginners to experts, here\u2019s our advice:<\/p>\n<h3>Ski Equipment for Beginners<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re a beginner, you won\u2019t have the advantage of knowing what works for you when you\u2019re out on the mountain.<\/p>\n<p>Buying your first pair of skis can be a daunting prospect. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/travel\/ski\/gear\/Ski-gear-guide-this-seasons-best-skis-reviewed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">so many skis to choose from<\/a> (and some with dizzying price tags), buying skis and boots can seem like a big commitment.<\/p>\n<p>By opting for rental skis, it will give you a chance to try out different styles and brands to find the best fit for you. This way, if you find some ski gear you love, you know what to pump for on your next ski trip.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">You may also like: <a class=\"color-button red\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/ski-lesson-survival-guide\/\">Ski Lesson Survival Guide<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3>Advice for Intermediate Skiers<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re not a stranger to the slopes but don\u2019t quite consider yourself at the top of your game just yet, it might be worth buying your first set of skis.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you\u2019ve only been skiing a handful of times, it\u2019s still a good idea to hire boots and skis.<\/p>\n<p>This gives you the chance to try out even more types of ski equipment before picking your perfect pair. It also allows you to change your skis depending on the snow conditions to make the most of your time on the slopes.<\/p>\n<p>For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skiclub.co.uk\/info-and-advice\/kit-and-equipment\/types-of-ski\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">off piste skiing requires different equipment<\/a> to bombing down black runs at high speeds. Your ski length can affect how you initiate turns, so hiring different skis can allow for more varied skiing.<\/p>\n<p>The more regularly to plan to ski, the more worth it buying your own becomes.<\/p>\n<h3>Seasoned Expert Skiers<\/h3>\n<p>If you never miss a season and you bleed snow, it probably makes more sense to buy your own skis. By now, you\u2019ll know exactly what works for you and regular ski trips make the investment great value for money. (If you\u2019re this dedicated, you probably don\u2019t need our advice!)<\/p>\n<p>However, there are other benefits that come with hiring skis\u2026.<\/p>\n<h2>Consider Travel Convenience<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3302 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/airport-amsterdam-arrival-2069-min.jpg\" alt=\"People at a busy airport\" width=\"4288\" height=\"2848\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/airport-amsterdam-arrival-2069-min.jpg 4288w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/airport-amsterdam-arrival-2069-min-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/airport-amsterdam-arrival-2069-min-768x510.jpg 768w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/airport-amsterdam-arrival-2069-min-1024x680.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 4288px) 100vw, 4288px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 4288px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 4288\/2848;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3302\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/airport-amsterdam-arrival-2069-min.jpg\" alt=\"People at a busy airport\" width=\"4288\" height=\"2848\" srcset=\"http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/airport-amsterdam-arrival-2069-min.jpg 4288w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/airport-amsterdam-arrival-2069-min-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/airport-amsterdam-arrival-2069-min-768x510.jpg 768w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/airport-amsterdam-arrival-2069-min-1024x680.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4288px) 100vw, 4288px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve decided which level you\u2019re at, it\u2019s time to think travel.<\/p>\n<p>If, like most people, you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/how-save-money-flights-alps\/\">travelling to your ski resort by plane<\/a>, don\u2019t forget to check the baggage policy of your airline before you travel. Strict baggage restrictions and hefty extra costs can be a nasty surprise. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/getting-skis-to-resort\/\">Many airlines don\u2019t allow ski equipment<\/a> to be included in your standard baggage allowance, and charge an additional baggage fee.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just hidden costs you need to keep in mind. Skis, boots and poles aren\u2019t the most portable of items. Racing through the airport with your family to catch a flight can be stressful at the best of times, without having bulky equipment to worry about.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of navigating the airport with four pairs of skis in tow, or trying to cram all your equipment into the boot of your car, an easier option is to rent.<\/p>\n<p>If you already own skis, it\u2019s well worth making use of a ski storage service to keep your equipment safe and sound between trips. Simply drop off your skis at the Alps2Alps ski storage service after your holiday and we\u2019ll have them ready and waiting for you to pick up en-route to your resort next time around.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s Cheaper, Renting or Buying Skis?<\/h2>\n<p>Anyone who\u2019s been skiing before will know that all the little extras can really add up. It is possible to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/how-much-skiing-holiday-cost\/\">go skiing on a budget<\/a>, you just need to put a little thought into avoiding unnecessary costs.<\/p>\n<p>So, how much does it cost to rent ski equipment?<\/p>\n<p>Here at Alps2Alps, we\u2019ve put the time in working out which option is most cost effective. While the average cost of flying with skis comes to around 332 euros, a family of four could <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/hiring-skis-flying-whats-cheaper\/\">save up to 146 euros when hiring skis<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, we also offer free kids ski rental with a full paying adult!

However, if this seems like one more thing on your never-ending to-do list before or after your holiday, you can always leave it to the professionals.<\/p>\n<p>The Alps2Alps ski storage service includes full maintenance of your skis and snowboards by expert technicians.
