Mail for help.Help!!

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 :-)

bought some Arc'teryx Theta bibs when I was in New York recently - saved about 25% on UK prices.
Replaced some base layer stuff but as much for my cycle commute as for skiing.
That's about it oh but I will get the Fritschi Freerides that I bought in the sale from Telemark Pyrenees mounted on the Atomic REXs that i picked up off Ebay and then I'll have a quiver (with my Stormriders)!
Actually I really should retire my 1994 ski goggles...

ooh so THAT's how they record. That's cool! will have to have a look at that one.

Edit: just seen it, it seems to be the only one which doesn't need a separate recorder, which is a good thing! I might have to follow in your footsteps ther Graeme. snowHead

Edit again, hmmmm had to buy one. - What's with all the other ones? they have to connect to an external device! That is rubbish! Oh well, I think this will be a great way to share the mountain with people who like the warmth.

Mr.Si, you might want to think about the 1gig sd card, you will get about an hour of footage compared to the 12ish mins on the 32meg card supplied. i also plan to use mine on my motorbike,

My only purchase so far has been a new DTS Tracker. My old original one still works fine but has the original crap strap which has certainly seen better days. At least I can now do transceiver practice on my own Toofy Grin (The hairy palms help when searching without gloves in the cold Laughing )
