Go well prepared for your skiing holiday in France. Here are some handy tips from rentalps:
• Prepare your body and leg muscles for the slopes. Several fitness centres offer Pilates and cardio sessions that help you build up basic fitness. Some have a course that assess past injuries, put you through biomechanical tests and generate a custom-designed programme for fitness and core stability. If you can afford it, get a personal ski-trainer who will put you through the paces before you reach the slopes.

• Arrange a ski pass in advance. Ski passes always take a big bite out of the holiday budget, especially in large and famous ski resorts. By booking them in advance, you often get big discounts and avoid queuing at the counter of the ski lifts. Some tour operators allow you to book ski lift passes together with your accommodation.
• Want to go skiing but your friends and family are either busy, strapped for cash or don't want to ski? It's not much fun travelling, skiing or eating alone, so joining a group of like-minded skiers is certainly the answer. Many tour operators and resorts cater to such requirements, but you need to explore their prices online before you book. Be flexible with travel dates as some dates are cheaper than others due to availability and time of the year.

• Get the right kit. If you can’t afford to buy, rent. But if the kit is wrong, it can really ruin a good holiday. Some stores and clubs allow you to try out their equipment on indoor slopes. On special demo days, you can take any of their boards on to the indoor snow for free, and if you like the skis or board enough to buy it, they'll reduce your lift pass price off the final sale—check the website for dates. Read reviews and blogs to see who has the best prices for the kind of equipment you are looking for.
• Invest in your safety. Buy safety rated equipment, invest in an avalanche awareness programme training with search and rescue equipment like avalanche transceivers, and learn rudimentary survival techniques for emergencies.
