Personally I have never hired a snowboard - but whenever I've been away in a group, at least one person has hired. I don't know about your experiences, but from my point of view the norm tends to be pretty poor boards with not much attention given to a more personal setup... But maybe when you're a complete beginner it doesn't matter that much?
Anyway, I was suprised to see a snowboard shop in Tignes that had a good selection of boards to hire. As well as hiring boards, the shop, Bazoom, also had some nice gear inside. Well worth a look.
I made a quick list of some of the boards they had outside (sorry, I didn't note the prices - which were specific to the board):
- Burton T6
- Burton Custom
- Burton Jeremy
- Burton Dominant
- Burton Feelgood
- Rome Agent
- Rome Anthem
- Rome Flag
- Nitro Darkhorse
I was well impressed. Also to note, my friend Ross hired a board from Bazoom and they set him up with a sick little Sapient stick and Burton P1 HD bindings... loads better than the offerings from Super Sport 2000 (or whatever it's called) just around the corner...

I really liked the board it was much better than the one I hired in Austria.
As soon as I went into Bazoom the girl was really helpful and produced the Sapient which had been serviced nicely and seemed to make a huge difference... even to me! an ex beginner.
