D,

Why go to the trouble of carting the gear. Hiring gets my vote every time unless you are spending a lot of time annoying Skiers on the slopes!!.

No carting, no maintenance, keep up with technology.

Tha carting point does fall down if you use the Swiss Fly rail service.

I can see that you could possibly improve by using your own board as you get used to and its consistently the same equipment.
