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 :-)

Primark

Der Interwebz, except for skiresorts.com, that site sucks.

eBay, TKMaxx, sometimes proper ski shops, but not often. I got a great Rossignol jacket from TKMaxx last week. Found the matching pants on ebay, and they are in the post. Total spend less than £80.

I bought myself a lovely new jacket from the Trespass outlet shop last weekend. Other items bought from either Decathlon or a camping shop that I used to live near down in Leicestershire that sold a lot of discount ski gear (sadly it closed down a couple of years back). I have had a short rummage through TK Maxx but it seems a bit hit and miss to me, lots of stuff in small sizes, very little for the larger lady.

I don't buy anything on the internet, I like to try before I buy.

I get most of mine in the end of season sales. The interweb is your friend and most stores offer a return polocy if the fit isn't right.

Sport Scheck, Bittel Sports and Sport Schuster in Munich and IKO here near me in Rosenheim.

Just bought a great Schöffel soft shell Gore-Tex jacket for 20% under list at IKO

Skis are direct from the Atomic factory every time and such a good deal I don't bother to shop around

Ditto the above comment about shoving it in a cupboard. The only down side is when you manage to lose about 1 1/2 stone and you end up with the trousers that fitted you nicely back in the sales preferring to spend more time round your ankles!

Telemark Pyrenees for skis, bindings and touring gear. Zenith ski shop in Val Thorens for Boots (and last year Footworks from SZK). Goto Mountain Air in Verbier and Snell Sports in Chamonix to try out ski clothing and when managing to show patience have bought online from roughgear.co.uk for Haglofs Gear and Facewest. Have also got stuff from mountainspirit.co.Uk based in Aviemore. Would recommend all of those.

Not sure where you live but we use Tog24 (Yorkshire outlet , nr Donnie), Don Valley Sports (near Bawtry), Intersport in Lincoln and ebay. Ellis Brigham, Snow&Rock are both a bit pricey but if you can afford it have some nice gear.

I am a total newbie to skiing but i got some great trousers from TKMAXX for £30 (tresspass) and an 'end of line' jacket from Go Outdoors/Camping for only £30 (Columbia). Should do me for my first trip. Either that or I will freeze to death. Very Happy TK also have loads of gloves from about £15 upwards and socks for £5/pair.

I didn't order enough JJ's Sad sold out I'm affraid! that also goes for the bent chetlers ep pros and sir fancis bacons! I can get hold of 175 jj if they are wanted but I saw it as a pointless length in that ski! and the S7 is bloody expensive but if you want them drop us a e-mail to dan@snowtrax.eu and I can locate you some!

I once got a very good deal on skis and some Zardoz at snowtrax, so recommended - although had to put up with some butt-ugly staff Wink Laughing . But in general, where I can find stuff I want at a decent price: touring skis, skins and transceiver from Telemark Pyrenees and a couple of German ebay shops; race skis from White Mountain in B'ham, and a few pairs of from Bartlett's (sometimes the only place you can find what you need). I 've had boots from Footworks, Filarinskis and a shop in a small Swiss resort - best fitting has been from CEM at solutions4feet.

For clothing, rucksacks and off-piste safety gear, mostly S&R or EB as they have the best ranges of stuff I can try on.
