Snow has hit! Finally! It's still coming down I hear. Hope we get a massive amount!

Yep

Checked Avoriaz's webcam just a couple of days ago and it looked similar to Summer, checked this morning and there was snow everywhere :eek:

Around half a metre due to deux alpes this week.

Anyone recommend me a good place to buy some impact shorts from? For both me and the girlfriend, as it would appear my brother has taken mine...

The bay probably will be best?

I steer clear of no name bay ones, i bought a pair of impact shorts from the bay and they were shocking. Id recommend spending a few quid in your local skate shop.

Just another day skiing in Scotland tbh

Gaz1988 · 10 Dec 2011 at 13:59

looks like some of the runs are opening

lynchy6789 · 10 Dec 2011 at 15:24

Anyone know any good sites that have some cheap very last minute ski deals?

Already going Tignes but looking at going again for another week in Jan time on the cheap. Seen some good offers for Bansko but currently looks like they have no snow

icelolly.com? never used it before but my uncle books all his ski trips last minute through it without issue..

Jokester · 11 Dec 2011 at 21:16

Since there's skiing again in Scotland, I thought I better get myself some new poles so I'm ready to roll.

That's my purchase for this season.

lynchy6789 · 12 Dec 2011 at 17:23

Anyone recommend so good gloves for boarding? As mine are starting to become a little knackered.

We are going to Arabba (Italian Dolomites) in January, Banff in March. Can't wait

Cheers for that. Anyone know of any resorts that are reasonably cheap? Looked at Bansko but Snow not great at the moment. So good deals in some of the french resorts but the lift passes just cost too much

Noble-Kebab · 16 Dec 2011 at 10:39

One metre of snow in Tinges overnight :O

tlrBeta · 16 Dec 2011 at 12:33

Yep insane amount across a lot of Europe...more on the way over the weekend also.

Where am I...in the UK with no snow. I was better off at a Student, I got away twice a year! This week ahead of us and in March usually :-(
