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 :-)

oldest/newest kit

I was thinking about what the oldest piece of boarding kit I would still use was and was surprised it was my board.
What are everyone else's oldest pieces of kit (they still actively use on the mountain)? Oh and newest for interest.

Oldest - Donek 160 Incline snowboard (2000)
Newest - Dakine Bronco gloves (2008)

I don't want to hear about pants and socks Happy

Oldest: My Duck: 1999
Newest: HS Empire 164: This season.

Most of my stuff is 1-2 years old cos I had a massive clearout of junk. The biggest result was selling some crappy old bindings for £40 when I should have paid them for taking them.

DebbiDoesSnow, for the price of two jackets, three pairs of trousers, one pair of gloves and a helmet you could have paid for an extra fortnight's boarding.

kiwi1, just saw your sig - now I understand. I suppose I didn't title the thread 'oldest/newest boarding kit'

Don't stray into the boarding section for too long or you might not be kept up to date on the latest rules about boots in hand luggage wink
