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 :-)

there good skis man! I've never been a fan of tyrolia bindings personally even tho they are ment to be one of the safest around. They have always been a bit too safe for me and i've seemed to of pre realised out of them but seems to be only me

Get a pair of 90mm ish (in the waist) twintips, reasonably stiff (inc tortionally). That will cover you for pretty much everything. Not the best for either park, pow or piste but the best compromise, assuming you'll be skiing all three.

doing a season mate, you'll be really rewarded by buying two pairs of skis, check out http://www.skibartlett.com/sale-freestyle--freeride-skis-267-c.asp for some seriously cheap but sweet park and pow skis, you'll probably pick up two pairs for the price of buying this seasons gear!

I did a season last year on Scott Neos. They were pretty good. By the end i was skiing much more powder, so something fat would have been nice, but the Neos coped perfectly fine and were a laugh everywhere apart from landing switch.... So this year bought myself some Liberty Hazmats, fatter and a lot longer, so we will see how they will do... Are you working for a tour op? If you are you should get free hire, so u can rent some piste specific skis and rag around on them if the conditions get really shitty, or a fat ski, but you may have to do some serious charming with the ski shop owner....

or if your looking at my site the Line Chronic Kyptonite from last season with marker griffon would be a wicked ski for a season if you budget will stretch

Depends where you are and how nice you are to the techs. In St Anton I got full services (inc petexing bases etc) for ten euros. You really don't need to do it every week though.
