When should I buy kit
Every time I ski I send it in rentals when should I buy my own skis and boots
now
It really depends how much you ski a season in my opinion, and ofc if your renting twin tips for a season or like an average beater ski daily rental.
From the uk ski a bit of dry slope but get to the alps fro like two weeks a year

It's really up to you. It may not be the best investment if your not going out that many times a year. Of course, if your trying to get more into skiing than before, I would look into a pair of skis towards the cheaper side and a cheap pair of boots.
Was thinking of getting boots as I’m skiing dry slope like twice a month and rentals are nasty

Definitely buy boots. Make sure you go to a proper boot fitter and get a boot that actually fits.

Yeah this. Skis you can rent no problem but it's nice to have boots that fit you. If your gonna buy boots don't cheap out, go to a good bootfitter and buy what he puts on your feet.

Yeah dude, get boots first. That's the biggest upgrade from rentals imo that you can do. As far as skis, it's really up to you. It is nice to have your own skis that you are comfortable with and know how they respond, versus having different skis every day you're out there. Plus, 10-15 days of renting demos and you'd have paid for your skis and bindings.
