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 :-)

Nicklt, Ski boots ? Lockwoods at Leamington Spa is the answer. Go see CEM wink

Nicklt, if you want to buy in the UK then Lockwoods at Leamington Spa are very highly regarded.

Nicklt, At risk of seeming like i stalk your every post, Lockwoods is the place to go (or so i'm told) and you can get there very easily by train from brum.

I may even take a trip there myself very soon.

ski, CEM no longer works with Lockwoods, he has his own set up but he does, I believe, have an agreement about skiboots with them. Try to go to the clinic there on the 23rd or that week

Nicklt, Lockwoods are very friendly and if you book with them for half-term week you get a 10% snowHead 's discount (I believe) - no vested interests.

They gave me a very good deal on 4 avalanche transponders last year (my son is at Warwick Uni so very convenient to drop in while visiting him).

No CEM no longer works at Lockwoods - That said they will definitely be able to sort you out for boots and its only a short drive from Brum.

hi folks I would love to go to the Lockwoods bootfitting but it's just too far Crying or Very sad I need to bin my ols SX81's Embarassed

I popped into S & R at gateshead yesterday and the new boots are arriving. I was impressed by one of the blokes there who appeared to be training some of the other staff as he asked me to take my shoes off and felt my arch ( on foot ) and looked at the width, he then got the other staff to look at what he was checking. He then suggested some boots including the X-wave 8 which should be a starting point.

I understand that it was only a quick impression and i wasn't in a position to sit down and get measurements done but he appeared to know what he was doing.

Has anyone else been fitted at the metrocentre S & R

and what is your impression of the X-wave 8 .

Im a 14 week skier with only one week in the last 8 years ( kids grrr ) but am getting at least two weeks this year yipeeeeeeeeeeee. I struggle on big bumps and havent had the opportunity to do off piste or powder Sad But i'll do anything else with a bit of aggression even at 37 years old lol.

cheers Very Happy

Curtains, I too have X-Wave 8s about 2 years old. I think I ski a similar level to you although have been more frequently than you in recent years (my kids are now old enough to let me go with my mates)Great boot for me very comfy and have custom fit in-soles. Unfortunately have no experience of your local S+R
