Can anyone advise when the end-of-season sales on skiwear start in the UK? From googling I've found that last year Snow & Rock started 17th March-ish, so I assume it will be around that weekend this year too. I'm after a new jacket & trousers and want to get a bargain!
I live in Bath, where there aren't really any ski shops, but will probably end up trying S&R and Ellis Brigham in Bristol - is there anywhere else I should be looking? Am happy to buy online, but ideally would like to try on in a shop first, then buy cheaper online!

ellis brigham in london advised today that they go to sale in 2 weeks. This was their explanation on why they were low on stock and only had size 14 or above ski trousers left - and wouldn't be getting any more. In all of central londons snow wear shops (Well, I tried about 9) I found one pair of size 8 trousers. And they were the wrong colour.
shoudl imagine others would be about the same (though O'Neill and other high street brands have already started) i also intend to buy via tinternet but I also like to try on in shops first.. alas and alack I shall have to take a risk!

sallywt, last year was a tough season, so a lot of shops were a little wary with how much kit they bought in this year....seems to have worked if they are running out of kit

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

SO, lots of bargains for me in size 14 then. Perhaps I should postpone the diet.

Maybe they're starting slowly now I was in S&R Kensington today and they had selected lines already marked down, the stuff I noticed was womens Columbia gear a 200quid jacket down to 140 I think, it was green, there was a red one different style too also reduced. I hadn't gone in to look at clothes so didn't take it in fully. I had gone in for a helmet and they had sold out of the womens one I wanted to try.

You know it makes sense.
