i got a very unexpected deal in mottaret in the closing sales. Been looking for a pair of hestra army gloves for ages and low and behold in a tiny little shop they have one pair left in my size and 40% off. I have never even seen a pair in my size so quite smug

Hardly a bargain but after being told the graphics on my skis were unnaceptable in polite company. I was told to go and get myself another pair.
After being assured by the man in the shop that Salomon Tornadoes were the dogs doo das I bought a pair with 20% off. Still quite a pricey ski though.

Sexy carbon fibre kayak paddles 
On the ski front, gonna get some of the Sverre/Kaj model Hestra gloves I've spotted in a sale, and have my eyes peeled for a deal on some big skis - any ideas where I could find such a thing?

Got a great deal from the Freeze Pro shop in Edinburgh -a pair of 4FRNT MSP skis - these are an all mountain /freeride ski- 96 underfoot. Ordered them on line over the Easter holiday and they arrived by courier on the Wednesday after Easter Monday. These ski's retail at £669 with Marker M12 bindings - I paid £385 in their end of season sale. Tested them out in Ischgl,Samnaun and Galtur last week and I am very pleased with my purchase. Skied well in a variety of conditions -from nice spring snow,powder,crud and slush on the lower mountain just above Ischgl. We also experienced some early morning hardpack on the pistes above Ischgl and this is the area were I knew they might be a bit of a handful -all I can say is that you have to put some effort in and ski them hard and they reward you -at the end of the week once I was fully used to them they actually carve quite well for this type of ski. But for all the other conditions they were superb. Had to bring them all the way back from Austria by coach and ferry- but that is another story.
Freeze Pro are a great shop to deal with and are staffed by very helpful and friendly staff who know their stuff.

Not ski related - but I just got a brand new 86th edition (about 3-4 years old) CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics from Amazon for £20 inc postage.
However, I sure can't find my other bible Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary for similar cash unless its a 10-15 year old copy for the same sort of cash which is a bit odd since Hawleys is about one third of the size and far less data in it - weird.

Anyone spotted any el cheapo thin merino socks? I've pretty much worn through my stock of smartwool ones but they're so expensive to replace...

I noticed the other day that sportsdirect.com, yes the chavvie high st/retail park chain, have some smartwool and icebreaker stuff on their website. Some of the prices looked pretty good.

DaveC, I picked up a couple of pairs from Snow and Rock on sale for £10 each. They are the 'light' PHD ones but provide plenty padding. Seems reasonable to me considering usual retail is £20ish. I paid $50 for a pair at LL because I forgot to pick up mine when I left in the morning

davkt, I carried on searching for a CCD. In the finish found a 13th edition on Allibris. I had a couple of 2nd hand books posted through them all the way from Callifornia a couple of weeks ago - I sent money off into the ether and about 4 weeks later via surface mail the books duly turned up - though then I spent £40+
Would you believe a book that 2nd hand in the UK would set me back £40+ for a single copy I have just managed to buy from a 2nd hand dealer in Iowa USA, for £9.70 and that for £2.76 they will ship it to me all that distance?!! Isn't that incredible? I do so love the internet
