Of course they are, but it's time to get over it now.
I've normally had a bit of sympathy for your position, whilst disagreeing with some of it. But to keep sniping about how unequal it all is getting a tad dull.
You're a bigger man, turn the other cheek, old boy. And if you can't, just gloat, as, apart from the hired help, you don't strike me as the kind of chap who needs to score a bargain.
p.s. If you're trolling, keep up the good work.

Its not the inequality or non-commercialism, itself that incites me.
Its the sanctimonious pretence of either that really gets on my wick.

I got some white Adidas Yodai gegs for half price from SnR. They arrived and are covered in gold glitter, not particularly my look. So they are now in the possession of my other half. I consider that a partial success.

Anyone come across kiddie ski poles in any sales?

Ski Tyke, you haven't seen the rest of my kit. Even a little bit of glitter would push me into the "overkill" department. That being said, I'll almost certainly give them a go....

kitenski, What size do you need? I'm sure my eldest has outgrown his poles, and I'll need to review the other two's.

Dr John, damn - you've just reminded I was meant to do something about my Yodai goggles (gegs??) for the next season. My lenses have got a crack in them & they're fogging up. I think I'm a bit rough when I'm swopping the lenses round....

cathy, I didn't realise the lenses swapped, nice. I initially though the Yodai might be a little large for the ladies. From your post I presume they fit OK?

Dr John, yes, the lenses pop out very easily - I have flat light ones and bright light ones but I think they cost about £35 replacement. S&R sell just the lenses.
They might look a bit large but I think that's because they extend round to cover peripheral vision, they do actually fit smaller heads as most goggles are too big for me.

Hells Bells, measured my oldest, with a pair of my ski poles upside down and her arm at right angles she measures 93cm to the top of her hand, so does that mean I need 95cm for her?
Youngest measures 78cm to the top of her hand.

boabski, 
Yup, she has been down to a few shops with me, where I think she needs a kids 110cm pole, managed to get a smaller set for £10 for my youngest, but my oldest is pretty tall so I am keeping an eye out for some adult adjustable ones......

ebay, still the best place to pick up a bargain, but you have to be patient as some things go for more than they retail at. Have just bought 179 k2 seths £150 with bindings. Seller used them for a week and said they were too much a ski for them. They are in very good condition. also special blend utility p3 15k w/proof 15k breathable jacket used for one week for £22. rrp £240. looks , smells etc unworn. also foursquare trousers $10. used for a week again look unworn, no marks etc. shipping from the us was $15.and burton ak camo trsrs from germany off ebay inc postage £21.
I really cant understand the new kit every season thing or more over "not the in colour or last year graphics thing". But Im glad there are those that are into that......
whats the saying, "all the gear, no idea "................ just ski.

Are you just entering generic "ski clothing" or specifically looking for foursquare trousers etc.?

I have just recd. A Salomon Adrenaline 3:1 Jacket from Two Seasons website. It is last years stock and I paid £168. They have size small and xlarge available. It is a nice brown colour with blue zip & detail. I am very happy with the jacket and the service was spot on. I chose economy delivery and it still arrived next day. Bargain in my opinion.

I saw a great bargain the other day, apparently theres some joker whose offering free chalet accomodation in the heart of the Swiss alps in return for a few house hold chores. 2011 is already taken but I haven't seen anything for 2012. (YET)

Um dare I ask about the commercial nature of some of these posts.
After a cursory look, it appears to me, no-one who has posted anything above stands to gain commercially from doing so.
Sharing advice in this way is obviously an ideal use of the forum.
Clearly, this topic is not a place for people/companies to publicise their own 'bargains' and if you notice anyone doing so, please notify one of the Piste Patrol immediately.

I completely agree-
Oh!

Goodness, I must be asleep at the wheel heres another great bargain advertising a half price fare to Switzerland.
Not sure if the poster has anything to gain comercially.
Wheres Admin when you need them.
Nix.
