GF and I are trying to rent cross country skis in Orange County. I called around to REI, Sport Chalet and Phil's Ski Shop in Costa Mesa and no one even sells them, let alone rents them. WTF? I used to rent Nordic skis all the time in the 1980s. Tempus fugit.
We are actually looking for an alpine touring set-up. We'd buy if necessary, if we couldn't rent first. GF has never been on skis before, so that's taking a bit of a risk, but I guess if it's the only way to get our hands, er, I mean feet on them, that's what we'll have to do.
Does anyone know of a place in SoCal where we can find alpine touring or cross country skis? Preferably OC. We don't want to have to drive to Bishop for these.
