Bargaining to rent you ski gear... made me smile! I can't imagine trying that in Whistler!

"Usually after a bit of expert bargaining you can get a very good price for a full set of gear.

Always try to determine price and make payment after you have skied for the day, that way your bargaining position is much stronger. Also take good care to make sure that you hire good equipment so that your enjoyment for the day is not spoilt. Don’t let a small problem in your ski boots or your ski bindings ruin your day."

Oh the nostalgia, I love the mountains in Iran. The Takht a Sulayman, Damavand, etc

I wish I could bargain season pass prices around here! I do my fair share of bargaining in America, but not on the hill. Then again maybe I'll end up changing that if I catch SnowHot on the hill in a bargaining mood! How much did that lady get those goggles for? :p

Were the all lifties European kid ski bums? :-)

Dunno about lifties. I actually never skied in Iran, just hiked and the like. I'll do something about that though! I'll take my own skis so I won't have to bargain for rentals, but you better believe I'm gonna try to bargain on the lift ticket :D
