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 :-)

Lidl Snow gear (but do not admit to it)

just picked some snowboarding socks (padded at heel, shin and calf) and even a snowboard bag (£7 bargain) (I had two bags break last season, one of them every strap ripped off, the other - my wheelie, was run over in the airport carpark Shocked ), plus a silly neck sock thingy that was called a bandana Embarassed

Nearly ready for my 1st Dec flight to Zurich

Never been in one before ( honest) but this morning bought 3 kids helmets. Bargain at £6.99 each and really impressed with the quality. Couldn't hire them for that price. Very Happy

FWIW I reviewed cheap ski "touring" gear for my website a few weeks ago:

http://pistehors.com/news/ski/comments/0754-review-cheap-ski-touring-gear/

I use the Googles, socks and the thinsulate gloves they had on sale a couple of weeks back and I've just bought a couple of their ski jumpers which are really warm. The walking poles they sell are not good though - I had the whole bottom drop off one at the top of a couloir (basket and end) and zip off into the void which ruined my descent. Best to pay 5x as much and get BD flip lock poles or similar. The adult helmets look good if you are into that kind of thing.

to be cool, you need to be the best boarder on the slopes, not the one in the most expensive gear. To be the best boarder, with ancient unbranded gear held together with gaffer tape, is coolest of all. The least cool, on the other hand, is someone dressed head to toe in expensive brands, who can't ski - or board - for toffee. I like to go for a happy medium. My gear's not very expensive, I can't ski very well, and I can hardly board at all. Not even thought about becoming cool....

Lidl have the cheapest tins of roasted and salted nuts - fantastic tins of cashews for 99 cents. Annemasse. Almonds a bit more. They do amazingly cheap olives too. Some gems, in amongst the tat.

debbi, that is the one Very Happy but it has a complicated origami style instruction to do that to it, it is just a double layer tube that you can pull one off over the other and tie in a knot, though why any one would want to do that though I have no idea, but i do srill have the receipt though Very Happy I bought that exact one Embarassed after some deliberation Very Happy

pam w, I have never paid full wack for any of my gear, its all been bought in sales or TK Maxx. I think most of the expensive stuff, I'm talking ladies gear here, is awful ! I love my mid range Roxy & now Betty Rides - they seem to have a shorter trouser leg which is excellent for me !

rayscoops, I think its her expression which is adding to the overall scary 'look'. As long as it doesnt make onto the top of your head I think you'll be ok wink

The Cashews are good, but you would have to be nuts to drive into Annemasse - makes Beruit look calm.

you only need to go 150 metres off the motorway though - it's Etrembieres really, not Annemasse. Can pop in to Go Sport for bargains at the same time.
