 Poster: A snowHead
|
i'm away to la plagne for a week - leave on coach on new years eve to arrive on new years day at resort.
any one know what snowboards UCPA provide in their package - trying to decide weather to take my own. (probably will unless i hear their gear is good)
also, i'll be travelling on my own this time so if anyone else here is going too let me know as it'd be good hook up with others for new years eve.
thanks,
jc

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

bythesea, I can't answer about boards but they are partners with Rossignol, all their skis are B2 and B3 Bandits apparently. Send an email to Action Outdoors they're really helpful and I'm sure they'll be able to tell you.

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

Don't know about their standard of boards, but can confirm that their standard of skis are relatively high with decent pair of rossignol carving and off piste orientated skis prodominately using the Zenith and Bandit range.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

bythesea, my experience is with skis, and i tend to beleive snowboards are the same/ From my experience they have some decent models, but some pairs are quite "tired". The overall level of the gear is OK, but i'd bring my own. If the conditions are bad, i'd use their kit, and if good, my own.

thanks for all of your replies - i've decided to take my own gear to be on the safe side.
also i have size 12 boots & so there's also the possibility that they wouldn't have wide boards available (i had that once in norway).
coach journey will be long but i didn't want to risk the airports being closed after the past few weeks fiascos.
i've been very lucky with my flights over the last couple of weeks (they all took off or landed within a day of the airports being closed) & so i didn't want to risk my luck running out.
it's new years eve when i travel so it'll either be a good atmosphere & good laugh or a total nightmare full of pi$$-heads.
fingers crossed.
