husband needs new boots and i demand to upgrade to better ski'due south, not bothered near the current season styles and so when would be best to buy new. Would like to get new and have at least a few goes at xcape before we go on out trip next january. was thinking later on current season shops will be trying to get rid of old stock to brand room for new flavour stock, is this normally the example?

charlichops, yeah, buying at end of flavour auction would be a good idea as you can pick up final flavor's models, only I suppose it depends on how long you desire to wait.

End of season sale prices are corking - frequently 50%+ off new stock. Less choice obviously, just that shouldn't be a major problem. Boots are the ane thing I wouldn't necessarily buy in the sales though. It's far more of import that they fit right, than whether they are cheap or not. Simply if you're not in a hurry I'd hang on until the end of March.

Boots at the start of the flavour when you have the widest choice of fit available. Scrimping on boots is fake economy IMO. Skis and article of clothing off ebay or in the sales.

 After all it is costless Go on u know u want to!

Later on all it is free Go on u know u want to!

thank you anybody, married man had to hire boots at glenshee yesterday as he could just not do his upwards (have no idea how he has managed to get his feet to abound in v years????) mine on the other paw however fit like a glove and i was fine in them all 24-hour interval. Think for the sake of 6quid married man volition continue to hire for our trips to glwenshee and purchase something new for side by side season. My ski's are pants every bit i discovered yesterday but i think i tin manage until end of flavour sales, merely worried i won't get what i want in the size i want as mine are currently 150 simply i definatly need shorter and whenever i see sales on womens ski'southward it seems to be only the 160's left.

 Yous'll get to see more than forums and be role of the best ski gild on the internet.

You'll get to see more forums and exist part of the best ski lodge on the internet.

See my posts on your other thread almost moving the bindings forward (or getting them tuned if you are having trouble with edge hold and they haven't been tuned recently).

I got a pretty good deal on ebay earlier the kickoff of the season on some of last years teen skis (148 cm Roxy Wista made by Dynastar) for my wife who is about your meridian (and very petite). Not sure if they helped her skiing, just the graphics look proficient. Pretty good option of 138 to 148 sizes from Ecosport (I recall). Notwithstanding, with improved snowfall conditions in the Alps this year, it is possible that there will non be as much stuff left after the season as final year although I would all the same remember that you could find something suitable if mountain adjustment, tuning or leasons practise not seem to help.

Ski the Internet with snowHeads

Ski the Net with snowHeads

I've had fantastic deals on my last ii pairs of skis at the end of the season. I got my current skis in March in Austria - about 1/3 of the Britain full toll. OK, they have concluding season's colour scheme, simply that doesn't really carp me.

It is a flake of a hazard, waiting until the end of the season, if you crave shorter skis, but my last two pairs were 147 and 155. You lot sometimes notice that it is the popular mid-sizes that sell out, and the sale prices tin be had on the shorter or longer skis.

I'd tend to buy things like poles in resort - I've found mostly the prices are the same in Euros as in pounds, so you can become them cheaper in Europe, even in Courchevel 1850 Wink

 snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

snowHeads are a friendly agglomeration.

Everything cease of season from a reputable local shop (Presume there will be an Ellis Brigham & Snow and rock in Edinburgh) these places are upwards to l%off all stock at end of season. They clear everything out, register on website and they email details of sales.

Forget Ebay and cyberspace stores.
ane Your boots demand to be fitted.
2 That Goretex XCR Jacket may well be a Chinese copy and anything simply breathable.
3 The ski's that you purchase off the net may well come with the bindings in a box. The fitters at EB volition p**southward themselves when you lot inevitably take to take them in to be mounted and accuse y'all accordingly.

Always buy local, my wife had some problems with her feet last year, went to Ellis Brigham's at Manchester to buy a new pair. The fitter insisted that he took a look at her former pair earlier we bought new. He re-moulded the liners and blew the toes out and it cost cipher, considering we had bought from in that location in the 1st place all be it two years ago. Try that with an Ebay Ability seller.

 And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other'south snowfall reports.

And dear to aid out and answer questions and of grade, read each other'due south snow reports.

Buying boots off ebay or anywhere on the internet is a recipe for disaster, but other kit such as wearable or skis tin be had for practiced and sometimes astonishing prices. I've got some great skis at very silly prices from Ski-Bilek, for example.

Airheaded prices at EB also on ski'southward, if you go at the correct fourth dimension. My son got some K2 public Enemy skis, make new, bindings fitted at set up to boot. think they were nigh £190 RRP was £410. Might be cheaper elsewhere (not much) but consider after sales back up.

thank you once again everyone

not a fan of ebay personally, information technology's okay for little $.25 and bobs just aught important.

we have EB in lasgow at braehead then at that place is the option to demo some ski'southward first although hubby is reluctant to office money with them as they have always been arsey when we take been in, simply saying that i got my boots from in that location 5 years ago and they still fit like gloves now, nearest snowfall and stone is gateshead simply not an consequence as we are downward that fashion quite abit. we also accept craigdon mountain sports in perth non certain if anyone has heard of them or has opinion of them.

I desperately desire to buy new skis for my hubby. He still uses the old direct ones, cos he's too stingy to buy carvers. Embarassed

I'd like him to have them for our holiday to Morzine 14th March. Are in that location probable to exist whatsoever sales in the shops in Scotland earlier we go or should I await till we get to Morzine?
