Well it kind of depends on exactly what you're after? Do you know what you want and are looking for the cheapest way to get them? Or are you looking to speak to someone with a bit of decent knowledge?
I live in Southampton and, I have to say, we're not exactly loaded with lots of decent places round here. There's a place in Southampton called SnowTogs which is where I got fitted up for boots a few years back, and they seemed quite knowledgeable. But they're quite a small shop so the selection isn't huge. I bought my last skis as Filarinskis near Havant, although I knew exactly what I wanted and just picked them up as I work reasonably close by and it saved a lot on delivery costs. But they're pretty good there and seem to know their stuff, and its a big old place. Failing that you also have Snow and Rock in Port Solent (near Portsmouth). Fairly easy run to Gatwick from either of those (Snow and Rock is just off the M27, then Filarinskis is about 15miles further off the A27 to Brighton.

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

If you're travelling Penzance to gatwick wouldn't you go via the A303/M3/M25?
There's a snow and rock at Exeter or a great little shop in Newton abbot called devon ski centre
Or on M25 there's a big snow rock at chertsey I think.

k1orange, your're cutting it a bit fine aren't you?
Driving to the airport and popping in for some skis on the way?
I presume you are coming up the M3 and you know exactly what you want - then I would phone first.
Best shop for you is the Chertsey Snow and Rock.
Best of luck - where are you off to?

Jonpim, Think k1orange is trying to sort out the mess from where Decathlon gave him some bad advice and he ended up buying some beginners skis for his not beginner wife!

Filarinskis and Edge and Wax both been fab with me for quite a few purchases. You could also use Glisshop online and get them delivered to you in resort, they are based in France. Good luck.
