I have always ridden Rossignol boards and worn Rossignol stuff as I can get it pretty cheap (I know the guy who imports it into Bulgaria) but I am going to Courchevel in feb and I need to get some equipment from the UK.

I need to get a board, bindings, boots, pants, jacket, googles and probs helmet.

I am a pretty good boarder. Comfortable going down most pistes and I can do a few basic freestyle tricks. I am looking to expand my freestyle repetoire but I also enjoy freeridiing so I need a general board I guess.

Does anybody know of a big snow sports shop in London?
 
So this body armour...apart from making you look like a video game character keeps you really toasty eh? Hmmm...I dont want to be sweating my ass off and wearing only the armour would look so...well...I want to say cool but I have feeling that many would disagree.

NickK do you do any freestyle stuff? Half pipe etc? I want to get into this if I can this season. What are the most common injuries danger zones? I would imagine wrists and back but I have no idea really.
