OT in some locations: New skis

Sadly, round here is about as far form Alpine a it's possible to get (I live close to the Cambrifgshire Fens, in much the same way the Brighton is close to the sea). If the exchange rate were better then I'd try out a few different types and buy abroad, but it's probably not worth it at the moment. I know it's not exactly next door but Ellis-Brigham and the Snozone (Xscape) at Milton Keynes have a weekend sometime soon that gives you a chance to try several different skis for 3 hour period for £28 (IIRC) - not ideal but maybe better than nothing. However, if you have the time free, it's probably cheaper to save the petrol and snozone fee and pay the extra when buying in the resorts. HTH Actually I bought a pair of Head IM82's that handle everything in Canadian powder that I (and my son who, unlike me, actually knows what he's doing!) could throw at them and were still good on piste. -- Paul S |
