Equipment
Quite simply the BEST boot fitters we have found. Damien & Jules have over 35 years of boot fitting experience between them and both have worked for a number of years on the world cup circuit. If you have problems with existing boots or need new boots this is the place to go. Appointments are usually required.
Equipment Suppliers
rental, servicing & buying
Having spent the last six years working in Chamonix we have put together our TOP recommendations on ski equipment including rental, servicing, boot fitting and buying catering specifically for off piste and backcountry needs. Essentially we recommend the following because of their exceptional service and because we use them ourselves!
GRAND MONTETS SPORTS
rental
We recommend Grands Montets Sports for all of your rental needs for our off piste courses. They have a great range of all mountain skis with alpine bindings, skis with touring bindings, skins, transceivers, shovels & probes etc. We use this shop as a base for many of our courses which means you can leave shoes there during the day. They have a very efficient and flexible system allowing you can change kit as required during the course. They also have a good servicing centre.
SKI PERF
servicing
We recommend Ski Perf for the best ski servicing in the valley. Skis are finished by hand meaning that they ski perfectly after servicing. The shop is very popular with local racers and instructors as well as the BASS Chamonix team.
buying
SNOW SAFE
We recommend who stock a wide range of avalanche safety equipment. They provide a very good range of backcountry products from the leading manufacturers in ski safety equipment including ABS, BCA, Black Diamond, Ortovox and Mammut. And Snowsafe are offering BASS Chamonix clients a special discount, 10% off all snowsafe products (except ABS airbags which have a 5% discount). Simply add in the discounts codes below when you get to the checkout:
