Open Mon-Sat by private booking only October to April.
Secondhand (‘ie imaculate') and new ski gear including the latest fashions, for children two years plus as well as adults. The organisation has been operating since 1990 and offers a small mark-up so costs less than any shops for the same product except occasionally for example one say something like socks because only stocks min 65% wool. The owner reports that she loves the kids coming and leaving the house fully rigged up and she provides toys to play with. She argues that a personal fitting is a better option than mail order because especially with children garments have to be tried on and she makes them sit down cross legged and ensures that the size bought allows for two years' growth. She only offers skiwear not snowsuits because not technically waterproof. All accessories are new and include hats, apres boots, thermals, sunglasses etc ‘absolutely everything you could need except for the skis and boots'.
For babies suggests a good warm, fleece-lined snowsuit. For eye protection she feels goggles best for little ones, even if they are just sitting in a pushchair, though they can get hote. Cebe is her preferred brand.
