We all love to dream so help a brother and sister out by showing us your new hot stuff ....
I m happy to start it off by saying I am going to try and jam my feet into a pair of these new Tecnica Cochise 130s like I'm Cinderella's ugly sister:
http://tecnicablizzardexperience.com/cochise2014/
and I'm also salivating over some of this Ortovox stuff too, especially the new zip hoody with Kangaroo pockets. Think I'll get onto livetoski early on this one! It's in French and a slow loader so apologies - post a better one if you have it! The ABS bags also look super good.

Also keeping an eye out for the new Down and DPS offers when they arrive. And the Volkl BMT's when the pricing comes out....
So what are you fellow posters chewing over ?
P.S. I know there is a very healthy Snowheads contingent who correctly believe that it is entirely possible to ski comfortably, safely and happily in a TKMaxx/Army Surplus/Aldi suit etc and I know that they are factually correct - I just like my kit, ok?

Im with you here, love nice shinny new kit. Ive not been on the mountain for a few years (baby, work etc), so this year I've booked 3 ski holidays to make up for it  (one being my first bash so cant wait)
With all the excitement of looming holidays, I had an excuse to buy new kit . I've pretty well completed my purchases, but here was my list
- Head Supershape Titans for outdoors
- Rossi WC SL for indoors (Always raced on Head SL - the rossi are different but fun)
- Leki Carbon 14S poles
- Ruroc helmet with custom paint job (I know I will come in for stick off some on here, but who cares, I like them)
- Spyder Rival Jacket
- Ortovox freerider 16 and 24 (thanks to mihmash for finding an awesome price!) Decided at that price id have the 16l for most days skiing (I dont carry much) and the 24l for going a little further
- New gloves, base layers, midlayers, tops, hoodys (too boring to go into detail)
I think that's about me for now, although im sure I'll think of something else I 'need' 
Wish the damn winter would hurry up and come around already!

Salomon FIS SL for playing on

Cant fault you here. CEM is a god. I got my Rossi Radical WC SI 130 with zip fits off him, and they are just perfect!

Just bought some Volkl Racetiger GS skis need to buy some bindings ( looking at Atomic X range ) and a ski helmet ( Sweet Protection ). If lucky maybe a second pair of skis but other half is already giving me dirty looks

Yes I got those 'looks' when I mentioned 3 holidays! She is very good and understanding though, and booked 2 sun holidays to make up for it!! (im not a sun lover!!)

Just had some boot heaters fitted 
http://www.tiso.com/shop/hotronic/footwarmer-power-plus-e3/
After seriously numb feet last November in Tignes I think I've become a bit sensitive and these have been the biz for the last couple of weeks indoors. Only need them on for standing around when coaching.

Some proper fat skis for powder, I'm on Salomon Q105's at the mo, looking at Rossi Super 7's or similar.........
Some bargains to be had right now

Will be getting a lighter touring ski, somewhere around 115mm underfoot and 183-186 underfoot. Waiting to see the new Down models, and also eyeing up some Whitedots...
Will need new Dynafits to go with them, my current (second-hand) TLT Speeds have a weird habit of pre-releasing whilst skinning (weirdly no problem whilst skiing), which has lead to a couple of sketchy moments... Not sure whether to go with the Radical 2 or not... I don't have any concerns about the current tech releasing whilst skiing, but lower ramp angle would be nice and if the elasticity makes skiing on hard choppy snow any less of a nightmare I might be convinced... Don't really want the weight of the Beasts though.
Would love a pair of Cochises too to make resort skiing fun again, but don't really have the €€€.

A set of Radical 2 perhaps for elasticity reasons.
In dreamland, a Scott Pure or Black Crows Nocta as a second mega pow gnar fun charger

Want/ need some Moment Bibby Pros. However, hard to justify given I have skis that do most of what they do. And the fact that I'd have to import from across the pond.

Rishie, no need to import them now, you can buy them (online) from Black Sheep Sports in Munich.
I have the previous generation Bibbys and they're  awesome. On their last legs now though...

I need a new snowboard set-up but can't decide what.
On the ski side I've probably enough for now but the next pair could be some Majesty Local Hero's as an off piste \ touring ski. Perhaps QK'd for Dynafit or Alpine bindings.
After that I need to swap my unfashionably long ice Axe bought in haste for a trip to ski the Lakes last Winter, and I'm still trying to get some 'cross over' Alpine\Touring boots sorted which after much research and mucking around reckon K2 Pinnacle's will fit the bill.

Spyderjon got me at a weak moment and is converting me and I lurve it!!!!:
New WD Carbonlite Directors along with Beasts quiverkillered across the old Preachers and the Redeemers too, skins and crampons; all to complete the cycle started with last season's upgrade, a pair of Technica Cochise. I will be watching it being all joined together at the Piste Office one day in August - can't wait!
It's turning into a whole new slidey game!!!

Actually the boots were poo-poo as well so I ended up getting some properly fitted ones and hey presto! warm feet!

Ortovox packs arrived this morning! Huge thanks again. Really great pack and service from 47degrees was second to none.

Couple of weeks ago picked up my new seriously cold gloves - Hestra Kaj & Sverre three finger jobbies. Edge and Wax did the job again, loving these gloves and I've not even used them. No velcro, those wrist tether thingies, all leather and super warm.
I hit the button after pressing some seriously old poles back into action for the coming season, new powder baskets and handles off some Decathlon cheapies and I am ready to roll. Total cost for new poles £10
Trying to work out whether I actually really need a new helmet. Have been looking at Poc Fornix Backcountry. It is just so light, fits nicely, but RRP £170+ currently has me waiting for a sale that doesn't seem to be happening.

Or buy it somewhere else in the world - that looks like a dollar price to me.

I'm tempted to look at some Dalbello cabrio boots from Fanatyk at Whistler ( if the boot shape suits) as they helped with a new intuition liner for my boots...
But i already have my major bargain from the March Whistler trip - a set of Kastle RX12 at 168cm, with Marker bindings and sales tax for 500 canadian dollars. ( I demo'd some MX88's but too big a jump in width from my previous atomic metron xi's).
Niece's hello kitty stickers added as a theft deterrent....

They did have them this season, so probably will next too. Won't be cheap though...

mishmash, Peak Heli kit is really nice - have pants and jacket from earlier seasons and they are the best I have owned (incl Norrona). Wouldn't pay full price, but 50% off makes them a bargain
