Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Anyone know when the Ellis Brigham and Snow & Rock catalogues are out?

Sad I know, but perusing them helps keeps me going until I get to ski.
I'm not going to buy anything, of course, just browsing....
You can pre-order the catalogue from EB now, but I did this last year and it didn't arrive until well after it was in the London shops.

gsb, it's a bit floppy (the catalogue that is Embarassed ) so perusing it is more of a two-handed affair (innuendo city) but I like the big picture format - really sells the sport. It's better than the EB one IMO.

I like the pics in the S&R catalogue this year, they seem to have made some effort to get some decent action pics...

£800 for a Spyder jacket Shocked

Who, in their right mind, would pay that Puzzled Puzzled

Talk about paying for a label....

I've had 2 or 3 Spyder jackets over the years and have found them to be excellent. However, I have bought each one in the USA in the sale and never paid more than £150.

£800 is just a tad overpriced IMHO.

Bergmeister, actually it appears to be £850 and the pants are another £400. And there are plenty of takers out there at that level, people who wouldn't bother read up on the sport, people who wouldn't be aware that it's the most ripped off brand. Huge numbers in the City of London are still raking in the big bonuses and something like 100,000 in Canary Wharf earn in excess of £100k as a basic. Whether they pay £350 or £850 for a jacket is largely irrelevant.

Well I finally got the catalogues, and I agree with Bode Swiller and kitenski that the S&R pics look great. Incidentally, the Sport Konrad online catalogue is an epic 420 pages at http://www.sport-conrad.com/onlinekat10winter/index2.html but unfortunately I think they only mail out the summer equivalent.

Bergmeister, I'm not in the habit of defending large corporate organisations, but I can't hep but feel you're not exactly being fair or sensible with your comparison. The jacket in question is, I presume, the Spyder Men's Alpen Jacket. This seasons kit, in a new re-launched line, at the start of the season. Compared with your "Spyder jackets over the years", purchased in another country (with a favorable exchange rate), in the sales.

I think your ire might be better directed at Spyder themselves for slapping a massive rrp on the jacket, not SnR for supplying what is evidently a desirable product for those willing and able to splash what is, I agree, a massive amount for a jacket that I doubt does any more or anything better than a 4 or 5 hundred quid job.

I got a S & R catalogue this week. An awful lot of bling. Far too much "faux fur" and £2400 skis. The girl on the front cover looks like she's got a giant caterpillar wrapped round her head.

Personally I'd never pay full price for kit needed a new jacket this season was £450 waited for the sales and got it 70% off. For £850 i'd want it to make me a cup of tea in the morning and give me a happy ending.
