Avoid the crowds as much as possible
Dear Lyonnais, let's start with an obvious truth. Unlike many other French people, you have a unique chance: to live near the mountains. So when it comes to treating yourself on the slopes, be smart! Instead of following the crowd and going during school holidays, don’t hesitate to prefer weekends outside of this period — or even weekdays, if you can. Once you're there, if by some misfortune you're not alone, no worries, there are a few tricks to maximize your enjoyment: pack your snacks to avoid the rush at the supermarkets and mountain restaurants, head to the slopes a bit farther from the center of the resort, or even choose Click and Collect options when renting equipment, like with Ekosport-Rent, to get on your skis as quickly as possible.
Don't burden yourself with your skis
Another paragraph, another struggle. This time, we're tackling a real issue: risking a shoulder dislocation while carrying your skis, your boots, and your poles at the beginning of each day or after every session. To avoid this, we recommend using storage systems, like secure lockers or valet services, so you can leave your gear at the base of the slopes and not worry about a thing. Once again, head over to Ekosport-Rent to enjoy this fantastic service and make the most of the après-ski bars without stressing about retrieving all your stuff when it’s time to head home. What a beautiful life!
Saving Money
We know you've been waiting for this, but the biggest challenge when skiing is definitely the budget. Between the accommodation, food, equipment, and lift passes, it can feel overwhelming. There are different options available to help you save money. If you're driving, consider carpooling. The same goes for meals; preparing dishes in advance can help avoid the sky-high prices at mountain shops. Lastly, make sure to choose the right rental service. That’s where Ekosport-Rent comes in! Just by using online rentals, you’re sure to save money compared to in-store choices. Plus, the platform offers various discounts throughout the year, which can go up to -50% depending on the season and equipment, and also provides special offers for thes groups. What more could you ask for ?
Let Your Curiosity Speak
When you grow up near the mountains, like many of you do, you often have the advantage of being quite comfortable in the realm of winter sports. The toughest part is often choosing between renting skis or a snowboard, trying out snowshoes, or going off-piste. What if we told you that, at Ekosport-Rent, for rentals over 6 days, you can enjoy 2 free equipment changes to let your curiosity run wild and to treat yourself without limits ? It's the perfect way to fully enjoy your vacation and indulge yourself without any frustration !
Protecting Yourself from the Cold at All Costs
It’s probably one of the most common struggles when heading to the mountains, and yet it’s one that has the least concrete solutions. So, to keep warm while skiing, it’s quite simple: you need to gear up properly. Your dad's ski jacket that’s over 15 years old? No thanks! Opt for technical base layers, high-quality fleece jackets, and waterproof clothing. Don’t hesitate to use the onion technique, which also allows you to easily peel off layers if you suddenly get too warm. And most importantly, if it really gets unbearable, treat yourself to a little spa visit at the end of the day, it always feels great!
