Frequently Asked Questions

Can a QR condition report at ski hire replace paper damage forms?

Yes. Photo-enabled digital forms are more accurate, harder to dispute, and easier to archive than paper forms.

Should hire equipment safety briefings require a timed read before rental starts?

For higher-risk equipment, a 30-second minimum view time before the rental confirmation QR activates adds a safety checkpoint.
