Wasn't really interested and it was rammed so didn't look closely. Various lengths, think the mya were around £170-180 and the integrale £220-230 might need to add vat to that as I didn't look in detail to see if it was the pre or post vat price.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Was in Trafford earlier today and didn't notice anything, but then again I wasn't looking for ski's. Watford is the head office though and they do sometimes trial items there before going nationwide.

I saw those in Costco too - but then just Googled and found the same models for about the same price or less plenty of places.

Don't know about UK, in the US, Costco isn't the cheapest. (they're not trying to be either) Plenty of mail order places have similar or even slightly better price. And if you happened to live near one of the stores that also sells online, you can get the online price WITH SERVICE!
What Costco is good, is you don't have to hunt for prices online and then trying to figure out if the store having the best price is real or flight-by-night! Also good for stuff you can look at, touch, play a little before buying, and TAKE IT HOME! More over, . For many, that's an advantage even if the price isn't exactly rock bottom, the reliability and convenience is worth it. More over, return will also be a breeze.
I won't buy skis from Costco (need to go to shop for mounting/adjusting binding anyway), nor camera/audio equipment (online prices are usually better and have much more choices). But if I'm buying a lamp to go in the office, and couldn't care less the brand and the finer details, I'll just pop into Costco and grab a random one. Basically, stuff one doesn't really care too much about. (or your carefully chosen one so happen to be the one Costco is selling)
