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 :-)

Hey Hey, I knew it wouldn't take long - they're the ones that were for sale the other week, yes?

Were they just brilliant - doesn't it feel good?

Well done you - wish you well to use them.

That's all very well, but also remember that you can overdo it - avoid out of control snowboarders if you can - my skis got wrecked in a single altercation!

N.B. Not surprised here though - I knew you'd decided to get them when you posted about poles the other day wink

Congratulations may they bring you many happy days under foot and keep you safe. In all accidents may the snowboarder be the one that ends up worst off and treat them nice as they look after you!

Butterfly, B.t.w I like that grey and white colour scheme when I first saw them too - grey and white skis abstract patterned skis look so classy wink - not tooooo girly (like those covered in flowers), just classy!!

Now you just need to nip across to see Spyderjon - get them tuned and buy all the gear Laughing

Butterfly, Congratulations snowHead , great news. How colour coordinated are you now ? or will a whole new outfit follow Toofy Grin

 You know it makes sense.

I'm sure Butterfly has more sense than to go out and buy a whole lot of gear to coordinate with her skis. Being completely colour-coordinated is just too sad. wink

IncogSkiSno, thanks.

Ah, questions questions!!

RogerC already had done the edges and applied storage wax - EB at MK kindly removed the storage wax for me and set the bindings up without charge! Spyderjon's in Nottingham - is that right? Might take a trip there sometime before next season - good thinking that!

Colours - hmm not too bad - boots are white, but oh dear - salopettes black, jacket red.......!! There's a rather fetching apricot colour on the skis - do you think I need a new outfit before I can be seen again in public or do you think red/black/white striped poles would link it all together? wink

If you go for that be careful not to stand still for too long, you'll have a line of long haired blokes start to form next to you Laughing

Match what? Butterfly could choose white, black, apricot or red and match something.

Butterfly, we did Spyderjon's course - well worth while as we ski all season and do the skis a lot. But if you're just skiing a week or so a year, it would probably be a lot cheaper and easier just to get your skis serviced in a shop.

IIRC Butterfly has a white or cream helmet - that should be a fair match to her new skis. I was only joking about buying the gear to do her new skis, but the visit to Spyderjon is interesting in its own right - you learn a lot about your own skis and about how and why they do what they do and you get a hot wax treatment for them which I guess you may not get on a shops machine system (though I don't know if it can be hot with these systems). I just thought it was nice to treat the skis once and its a good ski-y type trip in the middle of the summer when you have snow withdrawal symptoms - gives you a chance to get the skis out and look at them too snowHead

Megamum, completely agree that it's an enjoyable and interesting session - just that it's not the most cost-effective option for anybody who wants to make their limited funds go a long way.

Butterfly, congrats on your purchase. DIY tuning, depending on the amount you ski &/or your performance requirements, is not always practical so for those folks I offer a tuning service that many other snowheads in that situation use - some on a 'while you wait' basis whilst others go off shopping in Nottingham & collect their skis later in the day.
