HiCan any of you experts advise us what to look for when we get our hire equipment to ensure we dont get palmed off with any old rubbish. Are the peeps in the hire shop pretty good. We are going to Borovets staying at the Rila
Thanks
Rich
re: Ski Equipment
get down the depot early . to get the first choice, you will want carving skis ,up to about your nose in height, prob about 170's , look at the edges , they should be sharp and cleen , if not , you will have problems skiing across icey patches.
the guy in the depot will ask your weight and how good you are at skiing this to set the bindings, very important you give him honest answers.
make sure your boots are comfy if not tell him you want to try another pair, as i say go early otherwise ...

re: Ski Equipment
do not use your edges on icey slopes, just flatten the skis and ride it out, even the sharpest skis will slide and loose grip, i have done it while holding a carve and lost it big time with brand new street racer 10. check for big gouges in the bases , if u rub your finger nail against the edges, if there are sharp enough u should see some of your nail left on the edges in the form of dust. enjoyre: Ski Equipment
ThanksI'll try and get down early, one more thing do boots need to be fairly tight fitting ?

Hi RichieI am sure that the state of the ski's will make no difference to the snow angels that I am sure I will spend most of the week making
See you on the slopes
