 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey all, newbie here.
Jus sayin hello.
Background: lots of ski experience in me teens with TOO long a break until last year. Plan to do much, much more in near future.
Jeez why did I stop, only motorbiking has made me laugh so much, been to Avoriaz couple times and v pleased with it.

Hey
Still look at the avoriaz webcam almost everyday. Tough day, peak at the cam and all's well with the world.
Joined snowheads as may struggle to find enough folks to go with who wanna go as many times as me.

If you need to justify the cost to yourself you're looking at say £300-£400 for a pair of boots+fitting. A week's boot hire's about £25 so you only need to go skiing 6-8 weeks to cover the cost, and will enjoy your skiing more. Now 8 years sounds like a long time (1 week/year) but if you go skiing twice a year it's only 4 years! There you go, justification to not only buy new boots but also go skiing twice a year! I managed to justify buying a pair of skis with this sort of 'logic' Very Happy
|
Now if you live only 1.5hrs drive from a ski centre in Scotland, you can also justify the purchase of boots/skis not only on the cost saving & comfort against hire skis & boots, but also against the time skiing gained by not having to queue for rental equipment on a day trip.
Not that my wife and I needed any justification, but it helps cushion the blow when the credit card bill arrives a month later.

FAQ
went last in april, v lucky with the weather. Improved more than I thought so am at tricky stage of deciding if need to buy boots or not yet as with the hired ones I could tell after couple days I wasn't getting the support I needed (the boots you understand, not emotionally)
