    The problem was not Skimium, but the the actual rental equipment was not what I had ordered. Once I went to pick up my skis, it turned out that the shop suppling the skis (Nordic esports) did not infact have all-mountain skis available at all. I was offered very wide waisted powder skis or the choice of giant slamon skis. The skis themselves were not the latest models as promised and many of the models I looked at were at least 2 to 4 years old. Also the condition of the skis was very bad. The bases had big scratches and the whole bottom was covered in a huge layer of wax, The edges were not as sharp as they should have been. Overall, as I said, the problem was not Skimium but the store that supplied the skis. I hope Skimium takes this into consideration when chosing their partners.

    I have been a Skimium customer for many years – each time booking online beforehand. Usually, it works fine. For example, earlier this season I rented skis in Cortina and they had been properly checked and prepared before I collected them. However, most recently in Ardents, Montriond – on day one, it was clear this had not happened. I discovered there was a small gouge on the base which needed to be fixed and the edges were in poor condition. They were high spec skis – but were horrible to use. At the end of the first day, when I brought this to the attention of the staff the edges were sharpened overnight. It did mean that skiing on the first day was compromised. Most, not all, of the staff were friendly and helpful.

    Amazing customer service. So helpful and the boots fitted perfectly. No issues for the 5 days of skiing and I hadn’t been for years. The equipment was top quality and perfect for my needs.

    Very easy to use and navigate. Staff are always helpful and pleasant and their proximity to the main Express lift makes them the ideal ski hire venue in Les Gets.

    I had to return my skis twice due to poor quality at the Ardent site. The first skis the breaks were really loose and wonky making it impossible to carry the skis, the second skis unclipped multiple times which was very dangerous. One of the staff members was extremely rude, I asked can they guarantee if the skis would be of sufficient quality the third time round and he shortly replied if they are not you will just have to come back. No apology. This falls far below the standard expected for customer service. Most of their inventory appears worn out, chipped and in dire need of updating.

    Booked our ski trip last minute, really easy to organise ski hire. Decathlon were great. Boots hurt after second day and switched without hassle. Very good value and had a great first time skiing

    Great service as usual, friendly and helpful staff, kit was good, although the boots didn't fit very well, so ended up buying a brand new pair of boots after just 2 hours of skiing. Took the hire boots back and kept going with the skis. No problem.

    Great service from Benjamin at Sanglard in Chamonix, and I loved the skis that were recommended to me. Drop-off and pick-up was also a very convenient service.

    I found Skimium really easy to book with, everything was clear on the website, and it was also so reasonably priced. They were also the only company I could find which had a clear cancellation policy, which really helped put my mind at ease, as even though everything is more or less back to normal, it’s definitely reassuring to have that option if you do need to cancel due to Covid.
