Ski rental: find the better equipment for you

Choosing your ski package: which equipment Iis right for you?

To ski with confidence, improve day after day, and fully enjoy your time on the slopes, it’s essential to choose skis that perfectly match your level and needs, both for you and for your children.

If you’re a beginner and choose playful, high-performance skis, you may feel overwhelmed and develop bad habits. On the other hand, if you’re an experienced skier and opt for beginner skis, you may not get the sensations you’re looking for.

That’s why Eskiador offers a clear and easy-to-follow guide to help you choose the right skis from its rental selection!

Children’s skis: from toddlers discovering skiing to confident teenagers

Eskiador naturally caters to families and therefore offers a special rental range for children. To make your choice, first rely on your child’s age and height:

from 2 to 6 years old or under 1,20 m => Baby skis
from 7 to 12 years old or between 1,20 and 1,60 m => Junior skis
from 14 to 17 years old inclusive or over 1,60 m => Teen skis

You should also take their ski level into account :

Junior blue skis => for children skiing for the first time or with little experience
Junior red skis => for children who have mastered the basics and want to progress with suitable equipment
Teen black skis => for young skiers with a good level who want to experience great sensations and enjoy versatile skis

If your teenager is a beginner or intermediate skier, we recommend choosing blue or red ski categories from the adult range instead. The in-store team will be happy to suggest a model suited to their height and level.
