I need me some new salopettes (again!). Yet another pair ripped. Plus, I may make a more concerted effort to look for a helmet this year. I still don't really want one, but I'm getting a bit bored of people mithering me about it.
What are your shopping plans?

Probably need new snowboarding pants - have lost some tonnage since last year and am too old/don't have appropriate levels of steez/not stupid enough/ don't enjoy a snowy crevasse/ to be rockin' the off-the-back bottom look...
Not sure if new specs will fit under goggles yet either... result will be a new pair of glasses - why doesn't anyone do small round frames anymore, Have to get rectanglular ones which make me look like an Austrian quantity surveyor.
Still fancy that contour lidcam as old kit getting creaky on the battery front

Possibly a new pair of boots and maybe a new jacket. I don't really need the latter but fed up of wearing the same stuff all the time. I'm going to test drive the new boots before buying, especially as I now have a dodgy ankle. I'll see how the current ones are when I go skiing in 4 weeks (Sölden for the World Cup opening races  )
The season ticket has to be paid for as well before the end of November but I want to buy it in October so I can ski on the opening weekend of the season at the beginning of November.
TKMax in Rosenheim already has some ski clobber in, mostly stuff from the middle price range from last year. Maybe look for some more thermals and socks as well.

Stollen started to hit the shelves here this week  Must be nearly Christmas!
No plans for any new ski kit though. Unless I need to go up another size in ski pants (again).
Sport Hübner moved all their shelves about again, and stuck in a rack of ye olde worlde bargain bin skis. Guess that means the new ski stuff will appear imminently.

I'm after a new bag. Got my eye on the Head Travel Board bag, as it's big enough for my skis, boots, clothes etc but the couple of online retailers that had it at a very reasonable price last season haven't got it back in stock yet.

Hells Bells, cathalibm, I'm glad I'm not the only one who seems to destroy salopettes. I've gotten through 3 pairs in the last 5 years (approx 5.5 weeks skiing and a dozen fridge trips). I don't bother buying expensive ones since the destruction process seems to be the same regardless of how much I spend.
Samerberg Sue, good luck with the ankle/boots hun!

I want new boots. I bought touring skis last year although I only went out twice but hope to use them a lot more this year, I've been reading the touring boot thread with interest as I've also thought about getting a touring pair as my only pair of boots as the ones I have now aren't particularly stiff anyway.
I also need some warmer clothes, maybe new gloves and I want some kind of warmer layer to wear under my jacket.

I know I am going to regret asking, but why are you wreaking so many pairs of pants? is it all inside edge stuff on the bottom of the pants or something else?

lynseyf, Rob at Mountain Spirit in Aviemore is someone I'd recommend if you were looking.

Alans deep bath, +1 from me as well, we use the guys at Mountain Spirit they are pretty good.
lynseyf, if your looking at the Dynafit range of touring boots then get in touch with CEM at solutions4feet, he is probably the best boot fitter around again we use him.

Bought a very nice jacket in April at end of season sale but will have to buy gloves. Have Dakiine's at the moment which have served me well but looking the worse for very extensive wear. Bag also getting ropey so looking for something big to take boots as well.

My attire (bought in Oct '08) is still going great guns after about 22 weeks in the mountains, and will probably outlast my knees. So, each season, I just buy a new beanie. At least that way, I can tell my season photos apart!
A new ski bag arrived yesterday, to fit my new longer skis (bought in July). Said skis will be shipped off to spyderjon this month to be fitted with Quiver Killers and Barons.

On a personal level, I must get a new pair of boots, the current ones as some SH's know are a little bit of an antique

Sainsburys tomorrow and probably Tescos sometime over the weekend ...
... seriously though I'm a cheapskate so I generally make sure my gear is held together with duct tape until the end of season sales if at all possible, I may be buying some protective gear for my youngest at the weekend though for training gates and will be getting some ceramic for my dry slope training after being introduced to the delights (and terrors) of the stuff on Wednesday. For snow would love some new slalom skis and some dedicated touring boots but we'll see how finances go ...

roche1800, That's because I've got it all.  My company stores and distributes for TKMaxx and we had a delivery of 14 pallets of ski wear delivered to us on Monday. No idea when they're going to ask us to ship it out to stores though.

Snow & Rock's buyer+merchandiser team for women's ski wear should be shot. They're mostly stocking ski wear in black, black, purple, black, purple, black, black, with the rare white, blue or pink thrown in. All decidedly dull. Don't they know that black and purple are the worst colours to photograph in mountain terrain!

You are Snow & Rock's target market and I claim my £5
I don't see a problem with you wearing those colours. The problem is the lack of colour choice at S&R. It's the same with their women's climbing gear: all mostly black. Yet, they stock a good range of colours in men's gear. Anyway, personal preferences and all that...
