Additional Information
Having the right gear can make a huge difference in your experience on the slopes. Whether you're a first-timer or an experienced rider, the right equipment helps you feel more confident, stay comfortable, and ride safely. Here's what you need to know before hitting the slopes.
Rent or Buy Your Own Gear
If you're a first-timer or beginner, rental service is definitely the best option. It gives you the chance to try the sport, improve your skills, and make sure you enjoy it before investing in your own equipment.
If you're an experienced rider, having your own gear is a smart choice, especially ski or snowboard boots. Well-fitted boots offer better control, greater comfort, and help you enjoy longer days on the slopes without getting too tired. Plus, boots are easy to carry and transport.

How to Choose the Right Size Ski or Snowboard Boots
To find the right size ski or snowboard boots, measure the length of your foot in centimeters, that number usually matches your boot size. A few extra millimeters in the toe area can improve comfort.
If you have wide feet, ask for a wider boot model.
It's important to know that if you have flat feet, using a foot stabilizer or custom insole can provide better support and comfort.
Advanced and expert riders should choose boots with a higher flex index for more control and performance on the slopes.
What Length Should Your Skis Be?
Choosing the right ski length is important for balance, control, and enjoyment on the slopes. A general recommendation is that your skis should stand vertically somewhere between your shoulders and eyes. For beginners, it's better to go with a length closer to your shoulders, as shorter skis are easier to control and turn. Advanced and expert skiers usually prefer skis closer to eye level, as they provide more stability and better performance at higher speeds.
What to Know About Ski Bindings
Ski bindings are a key part of your setup, connecting your boots to your skis and releasing them safely in case of a fall. It's important that bindings are properly adjusted and centered to match your ski boots.
