Low cost ski equipment hire company Ski Republic hope to have played the trump card by cutting their prices for equipment hire to just 10 Euros a day, based on a ‘rent one day, get one day free’ deal, with the seventh day also free for those statig in resort more tha the usual six days.

The price is inclusive of top brand skis and poles or board rental as well as boots and a helmet.

Brands available in the low price rental deal include include Fischer, Head, Blizzard, Salomon, Roxy, Dynastar, Rossignol, Coreupt, Flow and Hello Kitty skis.

The offer is based on one free day’s ski and snowboard equipment hire for every one day booked, plus a seventh day free of charge. Insurance is available at an optional two Euros extra per day and covers theft, damage and cancellation. Insurance is free for children.

Ski hire can be booked online at ski-republic.com, or at one of the 34 Ski Republic outlets in 26 resorts in the French Alps.

The company has shops in Avoriaz, Chamonix, Chatel, Courchevel (1650 and 1850), La Plagne (Centre, Bellecôte, Les Coches, Montchavin), La Rosiere, Les Arcs (1800, 2000), Les 2 Alpes, Les Menuires, Meribel, Mottaret, Sainte Foy, Saint Jean D’Arves, Serre Chevalier, Tignes (Lavachet, Val Claret and Le Lac), Val d’Isere, Vallandry, Valmorel and Val Thorens.
