Poster: A snowHead

Having recently moved to Europe (Spain) from Canada I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on some good online stores that sell skis. The one's I'm familiar with are all out of North America so naturally shipping to Europe does not make sense. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Bluetomato definitely worth a look. Based in Austria but do free delivery around Europe. I get most of my equipment there.

Based in Spain, only one sensible option - and it's run by Brits - though more biased towards off piste and touring - been around a very long time and numerous mates have bought from them.

Do these guys mount the ski bindings if you buy a package?

They do for what its worth, and spoke to a very helpful english speaking guy, so high hopes for the skis for the other half I have just ordered, at a great price compared to others

You know it makes sense.

Don’t buy from Snowinn, Trekinn etc (under the Tradeinn umbrella) if you want it soon. I’ve bought stuff that it says are available on their website, then been kept for ages while they check their warehouse or some other excuse, and in the end it was not available.
I regularly buy stuff from Sport Conrad, Sport Bittl, and Berg Freunde in Germany. Generally had good experience with eBay if you do the usual due diligence on seller reviews.

Last few years I've been buying from glisshop and ekosport (both French-based but wit co.uk, English language, GBP websites) - large range, I haven't found anything cheaper and service has been good.

Bought from bergfruende and ekosport and glisshop. All fine except glisshop who gave shoddy service when item didn't turn up. Will never buy from them again. I do find bergfreunde especially good

Bergfreunde offer top class service and very nice to deal with if you have a problem. Bought on 2 occasions from them in last few weeks and both arrived within 5 days .
