I nearly fell out of my wheelchair down right here on the Glenwood Springs Well being Care the place I’ve been rehabbing after a ladder fall a 12 months in the past. I had simply learn John Norman’s bit within the Dec. 28 Aspen Every day Information to Ian Grimes extolling the necessity for the Aspen Snowboarding Co.’s rental ski insurance coverage. I used to be nonetheless studying once I grabbed the nurse name button, or I’d have gotten a hernia from laughing.
I known as out to the Snowmass Ski Space rental revenue middle and came upon that premium skis hire for $650 per week. Simply the skis, no boots, no poles. The great affiliate stated the skis would run me round a grand if I bought them. I did not ask if that included bindings. So, SkiCo’s insurance coverage of seven bucks a day for a $1,000 pair of skis positive appears to match their seven-story large revenue facilities they’re distributed out of. Contemplating the insurance coverage for my $50,000 Jeep is $650 per 12 months, one thing at Vailmass is off the charts.
