HOW WE DISINFECT BOOTS AND HELMETS AFTER EVERY USE
Your hygiene is paramount, and we use certified professional disinfection processes. Rent your equipment with confidence knowing it has been carefully treated before your arrival.
Exemplary hygiene for your comfort
At Orcières-Merlette 1850 , we consider that the pleasure of skiing starts as soon as you put on your equipment. For everything that directly touches your skin (helmets, ski boots, or snowboard boots), cleanliness is our top priority. The entire SKI CENTER team treats rental equipment with the same care as if it were for our own children. It is this artisanal approach that has defined our identity since the store opened. In fact, we discuss this further in our look back at 10 Years for the Ski Center 3.0 Store.
Warm and dry, quite simply
Before even sanitizing the equipment, moisture must be extracted. This is the golden rule of our protocol. Sweat and melted snow are the primary factors of discomfort and bad odors in a boot. Nobody likes sliding their foot into a cold liner in the morning.
That’s why in the Ski Center workshop, our professional dryers remove moisture in record time. This preserves the flexibility of the plastics and the softness of the interior materials. If you want to maintain this level of comfort throughout your week, don’t hesitate to ask about “The Ski Center locker”.
The choice of NST Fresh liquid
To guarantee total freshness, Julien Hauwiller selected NST Fresh liquid. This product is designed in France by Laboratoires GMA and we use it in its professional 5-liter format. This is our method for constant purity.
This liquid meets health safety standards (EN 14476 and EN 13697) and acts in sixty seconds without irritating the skin. As soon as you return from the slopes, we apply 3 to 5 targeted sprays to the core of the liners and helmets before letting them dry naturally. It's effective.
All sizes benefit from the same care
This level of excellence applies to our entire rental fleet, from child size 22 to adult size 51. All our partner brands, from Dalbello to Lange as well as K2 and Head, receive the same preferential treatment. Safety also depends on the cleanliness of our Uvex or Lhotse helmets, sanitized after each use. Remember that in Orcières, wearing a helmet is highly recommended on the slopes and mandatory for children's ski lessons. It might as well be fresh.
