Reminders in my phone’s calendar don’t help—I just automatically swipe them away along with my work notifications. My wife laughs and says I can’t even stay disciplined on gaming websites. Yesterday, I didn’t even think about the site again until 3 a.m., right as I was getting ready for bed. How do you deal with this problem of constantly forgetting things?

It’s also important to have a good selection of sizes. My teenage son is coming with me, and he’ll need a set too. I’ve been looking at maps and reviews, but there aren’t many specific details. Maybe I’m just looking in the wrong places. Does anyone know of any good places to rent gear in Courchevel? Does it make sense to book ski rentals in advance before we arrive?
