Still unsure about choosing your rental equipment? Opt for the category that seems most suited to your level and desires, and then trust the Sport 2000 in-store experts to provide you with the appropriate equipment when collecting your gear.
For example, by opting for the "black snowboard" category, the Sport 2000 advisor can guide you towards a model more oriented towards piste, freestyle or freeride.
Also note that some Sport 2000 stores offer a economy pack for beginners : the Ski Primo pack. It includes skis suitable for novices and a pair of boots, to discover skiing at a low price.
And if you don't want to choose between two disciplines or if you are really unsure of your level, check the Multiride option. It allows you to change your equipment up to 2 times during your stay, for an equivalent or lower equipment category (e.g.: exchange black skis for red skis, switch from red ski to red snow, etc.).
