 Poster: A snowHead
|
I got an email from a supplier about a weeks ski trip in March to Pila, Italy with Graham Bell and the Ski Club of GB. The price shows how awesome @Admin is at organising our bashes. What appeals is the claim there are hundreds of skis to try all week.
Has anyone tried one of these events?
Yes I know they won’t be as awesome as a snowheads events, but hundreds of skis to try!

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

Isn't there ski testing at the EoSB? |
Difficult these days thanks to the B word. Carnets to take out a UK demo fleet are a PITA.

@Dave of the Marmottes, oh thats a shame. Never made it to one due to being tied to school holidays. Closest was week before and the SFaB. Not too many years left now (youngest is 13)

 Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Interesting: sounds like the annual SIGB test.
All the old 'trusted' regulars of the industry/press turn up to ski around together and write nice things in their magazines about the skis they try.
I was there myself a few years back, encouraged by some of the brands who come to OktoberTest. They thought hat our system, tracking the test skis might help/improve the way the SIGB test ran but they weren't interested at all.
I also suggested bringing some snowHeads along the following year but (at that time) they were dead-set against 'The General Public' being given access.

@Agent Orange, I see that you’re not naming names but is it a Cambridge based provider who started out providing rental kit for school trips? I’m happy to mention them if admin is happy to.
I used to go there a lot. Nice company to deal with (you used to deal with the owner) although I think they’ve expanded/diversified recently.

@hammerite, yes you would be correct about their location and they are very helpful and happy to chat when I have been thinking about buying things. I don’t know if they started out that way with school rentals.
