    Giro Seam vs Scott Vantage

    I haven't seen Pret although they look nice. I'm in the UK so not sure if they are available here? I did mean Smith, thanks Mmm that might be annoying if the ear pads are really noticeable I didn't, I know buying blind is a bit risky, might try to find somewhere that has a good return...

    Giro Seam vs Scott Vantage

    Hello, I need a new ski helmet. I have tried both of these on in the past and they fit pretty well, can get both for a similar price. I'm not able to find a shop I can try on again just now to help me pick so has anyone tried or used both and have a preference, or another helmet? I have a...

    Yes! My reply is, well the ski might not know how tall I am but I can feel long or short it is.

    Least hyped ski you've loved

    Was the Voelkl Bridge popular? They were my first 'fat' skis and I loved them. I also loved my Elan Magfires, they are way too short for me but I still have and ski them 10 years after buying.

    So who has new gear for 16/17?

    Eh... me. I have no money at all this year due to buying a new house, plus it's my mums 70th, my dad's 70th and my boyfriends 40th next year which means big non skiing holidays for the first 2. Somehow or other I have a pair of Down CD 104 with Dynafit Beasts and have just got a pair of Lange...

    2015/2016 All Mountain 75-88 waist

    I bought the Latigo in a 170cm, I swithered on length but decided to go shorter with 170cm as I plan to use this for a L2 ski instructor exam so want to be able to do short turns on them and I want them to ski on piste 90% off the time. Just back from a week skiing them in pretty varied...

    Where to ski in Europe

    I've been to St Anton, Chamonix and a few resorts in the Dolomites. For me The Dolomites are the most beautiful, stunning scenery, good food, friendly people and good piste skiing. There is decent off piste but it is not as obvious as in some other areas and possibly not something you might...

    When to turn tips.

    Just reading this thread now so no idea if the Op still wants tips but... One of the things that helped me early on was being told I should always be turning, you move from turn to turn and the turn shape you make determines the speed (among other things). So basically never think about when...

    Marker F10 touring bindings

    I have these and have skied them on lift served and touring for the past 4 years. I really like them, my first touring bindings were Fritschi Freerides which are supposed to be better to tour with but I did not like skiing them. The markers ski like normal alpine bindings to me which meant i...

    Bare Minimum Tuning Kit

    I have a very old non steam iron which I found lying next to the communal rubbish bins on our street (honestly), wax, plastic scraper, a couple of different grades of file, base and edge angle guide and a couple of gummi stones. My boyfriend bought a ski attachment for a vice he already has but...

    White Dot ski's, anyone skied on them?

    My boyfriend has the Directors so i've had a decent amount of time on them and really, really like them. I have also demoed The One, didn't like, The Preacher which was a lot of fun and The Redeemer which I thought was a really good specialised ski but not that versatile. I know I reviewed...

    Ski trousers for wide thighs

    I have "strong" thighs as well and have actually never had any problem with ski trousers. I have had a couple of pairs of men's and some Norrona and Salomon women's one. I often end up belting them which can be handy if it's cold as you can tuck a few extra layers in. at the moment I have...

    Best skis you've never heard of.

    My boyfriend has a pair of Icelantic Shamens and a pair of Whitedot Directors, both are very fun to ski and I would happily own the WD's if it wasn't for the whole matching ski thing :) I've also demoed a pair of Down skis which i also enjoyed and will probably buy a pair at some point in the...

    Driving >250 miles for a family ski vacation, is it worth the effort?

    This is really normal for loads of families who live in the UK and drive to mainland EU every year to ski. I don't have kids so can't help much with the logistics but if you take a look on snowheads.com you will find lots of threads about driving for ski holidays, usually for much longer than...
