Poster: A snowHead

Has it closed down?
Anyone know what they are doing with their unsold stock?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Looked for it when I drove down the Fulham Road a while back when I was in the UK, but a lot of that stretch had scaffolding and building work happening.

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

Hmm. Their website is 404'ing - doesn't look good does it.

Unfortunately I believe they have closed.
Would happily be corrected as Markus the owner (former) is a nice bloke.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Not long after Jon told me they'd do a good job of putting in QK inserts. Off to Notts it is.

What a shame, I've bought quite a bit of stuff from them at reasonable prices, they always had a good selection of helmets and goggles to try, and touring stuff.

Rent could not have been cheap there and most people buy online, what a bummer to lose another independent.

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Yup unforunatley for me (Scott) they have closed down. It's been a tough few years for the UK ski retailers and being a boutique style shop in an affluent part of London didn't escape these difficult times. Marcus is back living in his Kiwi homeland, Fraser has moved up the road to Pro Feet and Johnny is now a buyer for Snow and Rock.

Hey if you want a unusual ski equipment/apparel buying experience in Fulham check out Rainjin sports up by Fulham Broadway.
It's not quite the smartie kit buying experience of 47degrees... I thought it was a charity shop that just happened to have some white dots in the window.
Misa carries quite a lot of good stock and should be supported, she also demos white dots out in Niseko.
As the thread goes support the independent.
Check it out

Truly sad to see 47 go....

@MarkScott, Hi, I just joined this forum as I was desperately looking for any sign of life of 47 Degrees on the Internet. I let them a ski jacket to repair and I went away from London for a while. Now that I learn that it has closed down I have no idea how I can pick up my jacket. Some of you here seem to know the owner, Mark. Would it be possible to put me in touch with him or any person of his team please ? I am very worried…
Many thanks.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Pity to hear its gone. Bought some Tenson gear from them many years ago and it has just lasted and lasted. Maybe the stuff they sold was too good as I didnt get the opportunity to be a repeat customer.
Anyone know where in NZ he ended up?

The shop went in to liquidation many months ago and receivers sold the old stock on to try and cover debts. Sorry to say but your jacket is gone and neither the owner or staff will know it's whereabouts and nothing will be gained by tring to make contact with them.

@MarkScott, you'd think that after a year the poster would have got the message?
