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 :-)

Complete Beginner - ski boots?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi Everyone,

So.. I am a complete Beginner, have a mere 14 hours skiing and another 4 booked in at a snowdome... I am planning on going skiing very soon and will be taking lessons out there.

However my question is are ski boots a good idea?
I have heard so many conflicting opinions... friends who ski say yes get your own boots, much more comfortable once you have your own... others say no - you need to go through the pain of hire boots for a few holidays before buying your own boots in order to know what boots you need!

Now I know that a beginners boots are different to an intermediate skiiers boots... but I will be going skiing once a year (hopefully) the occasional snow dome trip... so I can imagine I am going to be a 'beginner' and not classed as intermediate for some time! Possibly 3-4 years...... So buying beginner boots knowing that I may have to buy more boots in a few years doesnt bother me if it means I will be more comfortable the few times I go before then.

So my question is will getting my own boots make me more comfortable on the slopes?
Or is it just a waste of money?

Thanks!!

Em1986, welcome to Snowheads. Bit of friendly advice. Don't post the same thing on two different boards. I have replied on the other one.
