Any recommendations for any cheep ski gear retailers around Zurich???
I'm looking to start, over the days or so and was wondering if anyone had any advice.
Preferably looking for last seasons stuff, possibly 2nd hand if its enough of a bargain. I read an old post that ́s said about a Ski market, but i cant find the address.
I think since you are just starting, you should go to one of the big sporting goods retailers (a few names - Athleticum, Migros Sport XXX., Oechsner Sport ) and RENT for the first season .
You will get new equipment, new style skis in exactly the size you need and some help choosing the right stuff. Do not buy second hand!
For next season you can do the shopping at the end of this season knowing your budget, interest level, how you ski, your skiing level etc.
Woud strongly recommend that you have a look at some of the 2nd hand meccas (Ricardo, eBay, old rental equipment).
Keep in mind that you will likely not use what you buy for more than one season (or even less if you lose interest in skiing).
When I started I bought everything 2nd hand except sticks and clothing (total price around 130 chf, at skibörse and rental shops) and after one season bought proper equipment.
