 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've done it for the last couple of years, now sitting here wondering wether it's worth bothering to go this year, based on last year's effort no is favoured at the moment, but I'm starting to get a bad case of FOMO (fear of missing out).
It doesn't cost me anything to actually get there, just the entry price and getting the MIL to pick mini me up from school so i won't be losing much if it's cack.
What do you think, Bother or not bother.

ricfrench I've never been so had no concept of FOMO until you mentioned it.
Surely it is down to what you want to get out of it?
A fix of looking at the latest kit
Buying a piece of kit (at a "special show price")
Chatting to someone about a resort you are thinking of going to
Watching/taking part in the entertainment of pros doing tricks on artificial snow
Paying ridiculous amounts of money for poor sandwiches and warm beer
If the answer to any of the above (or any reason of your own making) then you should go (if that is what the show provides). If not then the answer is no.
Just going because you always go doesn't seem to be a good use of time or money.
But then I've never been.

I'd be interested seeing the new kit but that's about it. Waste of money if that is the only part of it I'm interested in.
Ditto for the FreezeFestival.

ricfrench, Having got free tickets to the London show for the last two years I thought I might venture up North to the Birmingham show for a change this year. Presumably we will be offered free tickets to that as well.

Olmypia ski show is cr*p unless you've never been before, are looking to book a holiday or want to buy a bean bag.
Unless it's had an overhaul recently.

There are usually free tickets available for the London show. I don't think they're out yet. I'll post if I see them. Like last year (and the yr before)

Go to Birmingham, and then play a game of spotting 's, and then avoiding them.....it has worked for me for the past couple of years. Have spoken to many, but they are none the wiser

Don't believe a word I say, but I seriously doubt it.......if you were after a 1993 Nidecker, then there will probably be someone knocking them out at anything up to 10% off 2010 rrp.....
(this is based on previous personal experience)

It can be quite good for a bit of kit pr0n - may well go if i can pocket some cheapy tickets from somewhere - need a new lid and want to try before you buy, carefully noting make, model and size, then fire up google when I get home. And missus has a notion about possibly investigating buying property somewhere, so may look at that.
