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 :-)

Superb offer, but isomething puzzles me. It says the price is 150 Euros, or you can pay 209 Euros and get "free" bindings with them?? Free?

Butterfly, Skins are used for touring (like hiking, but on skis over snow) - originally made of real skin (mole skins to be precise I think - although the link below suggests seal skins?) they're now likely to be synthetic. They're large pieces of material cut to fit the base of the ski and which allow the ski to run forwards, but due to the direction of the hairs will "grip" the snow and stop the skis sliding in the wrong direction. This means you can walk up hill a little more easily.

I'd presumed not when I've looked at them in the shops, but they're offering Marker Duke and Dynafit bindings...

PhillipStanton, don't think they have a hostage plate so why wouldn't you be able to put teles on them?

skins were formerly made out of seal skin. hence the rather satisfying french term for them "peaux de phoque" (excuse bad spelling)

PhillipStanton, I know what you mean, but I've always assumed that you can drill straight into it so it's OK for teles. i know there are some people on TGR who tele with BSquads which have the same thing so I would think you'd be OK. maybe give Sport Conrad a call - I hear they speak good English and are really helpful

SAC from those backcountry.com B&*(%)$ds? Pah. (well they do like to rule out any possible chance of escaping duty/import tax/whatever it's called, and indeed my smug smile at the thought of a bargain had at the behest of the exchange rate, by very helpfully and very clearly pasting the invoice, with details for all to read, on the outside of the parcel.) buyers beware...

for those needing something fat, today's bargain is K2 Seth Vicious for €300. €359 with the basic Marker bindings which is a steal.

Tempting, but I'd rather have their Gotamas for €399. if I hadn't already blown this year's gear budget on the last set of Mantras from Conrad a few weeks ago I'd do it...
