I was just wondering if anyone knows of any place where I can rent an airbag for a week?  Do places do this sort of thing?  Off to France in 2 weeks to La Grave.  I have the avalung but was thinking of buying ABS. Very expensive tho.

Shops in Chamonix do, Sanglard for one plus I think Snells. I don’t know about La Grave. If you are getting a guide they might or will know someone who does.

Thanks - I have contacted a ski shop in the village where I am staying and they do hire ABS systems - its going to be great conditions I think
