This Freeride hire category groups the key items needed for off-piste skiing into one place. Expect freeride skis with suitable bindings, avalanche safety gear and practical accessories chosen for stability, float and reliability away from the groomers.

Freeride skis in hire typically balance surface area and control. Waist widths around 95–110 mm suit mixed conditions, while wider platforms add float in deeper snow. Rocker-camber profiles help with turn initiation and edge hold. Length generally sits around nose to head height for versatility; size up for more float, size down for quicker handling in tight terrain. Bindings are set to an appropriate release value; always check DIN settings and boot sole length compatibility before heading out.

Safety equipment is a priority in freeride hire. A modern avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe form the standard trio for companion rescue practice. Look for clear displays, simple controls and robust construction. Airbag backpacks can add an extra layer of risk management; consider pack volume that fits your load (roughly 30–40 L for day tours) and note the activation system type. Helmets and back protectors add impact protection without much weight penalty.

Useful accessories round out the kit. Adjustable poles adapt to steep climbs and varied snow. Skins are relevant when a short approach or tour is planned. Goggles with contrast-enhancing lenses help in flat light, while dry, warm gloves and layered clothing keep comfort steady through changing weather.

Hiring freeride equipment keeps things practical: try different ski shapes and lengths without long-term commitment, travel lighter, and use gear that is maintained and tuned before it goes back on snow. Each item page lists what is included, sizing guidance and important specifications to make selection straightforward.
