Your other choices are as follows:
1. Pre-book online and pick up your skis and boots, or board, in a shop in town. This is a cheap option, but often a lot of hassle and poor equipment.
2. Go to any number of other ski hire shops in Meribel, although during busy periods they will not have much choice of kit left.
