Poster: A snowHead
|
My husband and I live in Fife, Scotland. My husband needs to get a new pair of Snowboard boots before January.
There are lots of topics on here about where's best to buy ski boots and get them fitted, but I'm not sure that's the metric I should be using for choosing somewhere to get Snowboard boots.
So I'm willing to travel to Edinburgh, Glasgow and possibly as far away as the scottish ski slopes - anyone able to give me some pointers?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks alot - will have a wander over there and take a look.
I know it's a little early, but I've got my summer holidays out of the way and now I'm looking forward to the winter one. I'm not buying new kit for me (just getting my Flow's repaired), so I thought the least I could do was try and help hubby out!

SnowboardVicky, i think grand Prix used to have a place in glasgow...been a while since i have spoken to any of them, but the alternatives are Brighams at xscape or possibly craigdon mountain sports in perth??? not sure if they do SB though

Best selection is probably EB @ xscape, but i donht know if they have a good snowboard boot fitter, you could always grab a ski boot fitter (sandy is a good guy) and hope his skills transfer.

Hi Everybody. My first post.
Since your in fife you could go to Summits in Dunfermline or ther eis a place in dundee that sells tons of gear on ebay.
Thereis also a sale in Blues (tiso) glasgow starting today and it starts in Edinburgh next friday. Everything half price.
A shop I like is Skinboardroom in partick off dumbarton road (dificult to find but they are great. I got a Pair of Lange Compfprt95's off season at a great price.
Cheers
Bob

Okay, thanks, that's some good suggestions. I feel confident now that we'll be able to get some boots here that hopefully hubby will be happy with!
I'll let you know how we get on, but it'll probably be into October before we get anything sorted. Hubby is travelling alot before then.
