I was there for days on end, schmoozing potential new snowHeads. It was numbingly boring.

Would do but they don't seem to be generous with the free tix this year so feck em. Paying to visit a big shop & desperados shilling their GAP yah experience is overrated.

If anyones there on Friday evening, me, Always29 and the youngest of the Sideways clan will there. Sadly, Sideways_Jnr will not be in attendance, as he's got a prior appointment with his grandma, plus I really can't trust him around the chalet girls.

Has to be the worst Ski show i've ever attended. There was hardly anything there. And that was with Free Entry.

A survey where the worst you can rate something is 'average'!
|

|
You know it makes sense.
|
A mandatory question about what best describes the show with options for "Fun", "exciting" etc but none for "poor" "very poor", "Excrement" etc

You can't just leave a comment, you have to give a rating for your answers to be accepted.
You even have to rate the on-line booking service even if you didn't book on-line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

spud, yup, complete rubbish. Should be renamed Snow & Rock + Ellis Brigham + a few stalls flogging cheap tat Show.
I asked both S&R and EB is they had a spare nozzle for a camelak. "sorry, we don't have any, that's more outdoors activity stock" said the chap in S&R. "Isn't skiing generally an outdoors activity?" says I. "er..." says he.
If want anything other than new boots, forget it (and if you go to the ski show for new boots you are, frankly, an idiot). Miles more stock variety available in the smallest local ski shop. I won't be going again.

Well we had a good show, got free tickets, met some familiar faces, and got a bagfull of free swag, including a particularly nice hoody from the guys at Plain-Lazy for Sideways_Jnr thanks to his brother looking small and cute in one of their sweatshirts...but would i go if i had to pay for tickets?... No.

My kids love going, stickerfest ! Best freebie this year was a rucksack from the Spanish. Most bizarre was a small plastic container just larger than my thumb from the French...it was a "portable cigarette butt bin". My kids are not suite sure what to do with these. The show changes a bit each year and each year we miss the missing bits from last year but like the new things from this year, mostly. As a result of talking to the Canadians we will ski in Whistler this winter although we did not book at the show. Recap, it could be better but we enjoy it just the same and don't buy much there
