andy, I think S&R have not yet updated their website with the winter stock, so what you are seeing is the odds and sods from their sale pages.

How can they only sell one Killy men's jacket??!! I'm with spyderjon on this. It looks as though their buyers have made some very strange decisions this year, particularly as S&R in Manchester sold out of all men's Killy jackets by the second week in December last year.
As for the £1,000 Spyder jacket, that's obscene!! How to underline the supposed elitist nature of our sport in one easy lesson.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

In addition, the budget airlines recent(ish) decision to charge for ski carriage also makes hiring more attract for the 1-2 weeks a season skier.
|
BA doesn't charge for ski carriage and if you book early enough through their website you get comparable prices to the low cost operators.

Was in my local S & R the other day and asked the sales assistant if they would be stocking the Metron B5, but unfortunately he'd not heard of them. Oh well, maybe they weren't one of the most talked-about skis of last year after all.
They are also not stocking any Hestra gloves this year. What's with that? Anyone know if EB is stocking the Hestra Army glove (the leather one) this year?

I admit to being underwhelmed by my new S&R ski catalogue. It's never happened to me before

You'll need to Register first of course.

the B5 didn't sell because it tried to cover too many areas. whilst versatility is great it didn't top out in any particular category. Plus it was as heavy as lead and only got worse with the daft and heavy atomic binders.
The real question of the catalogue is:
8 race skis. umpteen skiercross skis. 2 fat skis. a handful of twin tips.
yet nearly every action shot of the lothing is either a park or powder shot.
go figure

without being too black and white, why buy skis from snow and rock? Skis are skis are skis, once you've found a model you like, get them from the cheapest place, which isn't snow and rock.

jonski2, Welcome to snowHeads. But the b5 sold out in the US - well in 162cm anyway.

I don't know who Alice is, but you can get anything you want at her restaurant.

You know it makes sense.
|
The EB website says their catalogue will be out sometime in October. You can view some of the stuff through the Online Shop menu already even though the ski category icons are greyed out for the store.
