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 :-)

Looks like that outfit has enough pockets to fit in an i-pod AND your stash.....you'll look just dandy sat in the middle of the slopes, just remember to pick a prime position just over a blind crest...

Any hat with a fleece ban inside will do fine, or maybe a helmet - the R.E.D Trace in the murky white colour would go well.

Clearly you also need an assault rifle on your back.

Hi Everyone,

I am a student from Northumbria University studying Industrial Design. For my final project I am researching the possibility of a Sat Nav device for ski resorts. An example of one of the features includes the ability to keep track of friends or children through a tracker device that can be worn that would be visible on the Sat Nav unit. I was hoping to get thoughts and opinions from all you ski enthusiasts to able me in my ability to target the design at the right market. If you would like to comment, please could you leave your age and whether a bit of info about yourself e.g if you have kids, so i can build up a profile of the target market. Many thanks.

toogie71,

welcome to shs even if you're just using us for free research. I suggest you consider Search and Rescue applications first then the more mundane applications. Do some reading on transceivers and thier potential range - not huge. I think your issue will be transmission capability.

Vapor, I can see a bright orange helmet being required with that lot!! What is it with snowboarding stuff that you have to be able to fit about 5 bodies in it at one time Puzzled I can guess that some degree of movement must be required, but that weblink shows an outfit distinctly on the extreme baggy side

Vapor, 'Suit' is a baaaad choice. Laughing Cutting edge trendy is a fairly bad choice as well, unless you plan to buy new every year - think of those elderly types wandering about in their '80s Nevica one-pieces and rear-entry boots.

On the other hand, you could just wear whatever you like and give the prongs to people who poke fun at you. Who do they think they are anyway?

Vapor, matching jackets and trousers like that look a bit like an overgrown rompersuit. Although I understand that the trendy young things are reclaiming those these days. Far better to have a motif from the jacket repeated subtlely in the trousers or vice versa.

Vapor, I think the average age of snowHead might have some bearing on the above comments.

Vapor, dude... the average snowhead age I am guessing is well older than you (and me)...

...since turning 30 I occasionally like to take advantage of the fact it gives me the god given right to complain about the youth of today, the awful racket they call music, their rudeness and lack of respect, the fact they don`t write original muisic but remix and steal old songs from when I were a lad etc etc.. but then I realise hang on a minute...I ain`t old...I have a mental age of somebody quite a bit younger...

Quite like the Westbeach.. not the b/w.. the other one.. can`t really descibe the colours too well. Prefer it to the cammo one too.

Take a look at Bonfire.. I got an awesome down jacket a couple of years ago.. thinking about replacing it with a Bonfire Strobe in Bright Blue.. I have convinced a young lady to come and check it out with me in Boardwise on Thurs night.. just to make sure I don`t look like a total berk..

I would advise you to take a good friend along with you.. someone who is going to give you an honest opinion.. whether you like it or not..

Also the most important thing is functionality.. make sure it is at least 10,000m waterproof/breathable.. this means when you sit on your butt, as all snowboarders do, you won`t get a wet bum. maybe i am old after all...damn Crying or Very sad

Right well i popped down the road in to ellis brigham before and tried on yet some more outfits,
I decided as i already have the analog boundary camo as my outragous outfit i would get a slightly toned down one too,

I have looked at the
Bonfire Arc Pants In Mocha = £110 Waterproof/Breath = 10k/12k
http://www.sailandski.co.uk/acatalog/Bonfire_Arc_Pants_07_08__mocha__-__109.99.html

And The
Bonfire Venture Jacket In Silk = £120 Waterproof/Breath = 7k/8k
http://www.ellis-brigham.com/cgi-bin/psProdDet.cgi/312604%7C%7C@cSnowsports%20Clothing%20-%20Men's@bBonfire%7C0%7Cuser%7C1,0,0,1%7C9%7C

P.S = I am a medium but would get the pants in large as i tried them on and they fit nice and a bit on the baggy side,

Please give opinions on this choice,
Cheers once again
