		<description><![CDATA[Last night a mock evacuation exercise occured on the Bellevarde Express. The exercise pretended that a cabin full of skiers was stuck. Around 40 employes from the STVI were participating in this mock evacuation, it showed how important it is to rehearse as it is not a simple task to bring down a group, one by one along a cable. The rescuers have to reach the cabin, using the main cable, enter inside, then secure with a body harness each person before helping her to descend. It took one hour and a half.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We see billboards encouraging us to hire skis on the internet. Ski Set is obviously spending a lot of money on advertizing when other companies like Intersport, Sport 2000, Skimium are doing exactly the same. Is it cheaper? How does it work? Is it really more convenient?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://justvaldisere.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Screen-shot-2012-01-16-at-17.41.15.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-7044" title="Screen shot 2012-01-16 at 17.41.15" src="http://justvaldisere.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Screen-shot-2012-01-16-at-17.41.15.png" alt="" width="241" height="48" /></a></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://justvaldisere.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/logo_en.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-7047" title="logo_en" src="http://justvaldisere.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/logo_en.png" alt="" width="246" height="57" /></a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://justvaldisere.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Screen-shot-2012-01-16-at-17.39.51.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-7048" title="Screen shot 2012-01-16 at 17.39.51" src="http://justvaldisere.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Screen-shot-2012-01-16-at-17.39.51.png" alt="" width="249" height="111" /></a><strong>How does it work?</strong><br />
Shops either pay a membership or a commission to be part of the system, you are given a voucher which gives the right to hire the equipment. SkiSet is not alone, Intersport, Skimium, Sport2000 offer the same service</p>
<p><strong>Yes it can be cheaper..</strong></p>
<p>although one problem we heard is that often the site gives little or unclear information on what each level of equipment means so when skiers decide to upgrade to a more suitable category once at the shop, they spend more than anticipated. Generally you will get more ski for your money if you go directly to the shop. Some shops will give you the same price as the one advertised on the hiring site.</p>
<p><strong>There is no evidence that time is saved</strong>.<br />
The client may have booked and paid for the hire many weeks or months in advance but often the shops get no information at all in advance and know nothing about them until they walk through the door and if they are informed they are just told that Mr X has booked the golden, bronze or black package with no more details about heights or sizes so nothing is prepared waiting for you.</p>
<p>Luckily shops here are very efficient in preparing the right equipment. The whole process can be done in less than half an hour. If you take time to inquire about the  ski condition with the guys working in the shop you are more likely to end up with the right gear for that particular week.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong><br />
We came to the conclusion that skiers are better off looking at the shops&#8217;s websites to have an idea of the prices and maybe reserve directly with the chosen shop. At Intersport Mattis (a very large rental shop) the rental is cheaper through the shop’s rental website than on the Intersport website for the same package! and cheaper then if you just walk through the door!<br />
Now, if you stick to the package chosen you will save money if not time.</p>
