Poster: A snowHead

I am thinking about heading down to the ski show in Glasgow that's on this weekend, has anyone else been and is it any good?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Yes. No.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Went to last year's Ski show at the SECC. My first attendance at this sort of event. Left distinctly underwhelmed I am afraid and won't be returning this year.

Oh.........thanks for the input, I have been given some tickets for free so i will give it a bash and report back to see if it has improved, hope it has but I guess I will see.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Also went last year and thought it was a waste of money
Worth going if you've got free tickets though.
i reckon if there were more stalls to look round it would have been better; maybe bigger this year. Think you could get good holiday deals by the looks of things but we book our holidays early as I'm impatient!

Went last year at the SECC.
Thought it was a great deal as entry price included free lift pass for skiing in Scotland. Me and the girlfriend went... and got a lift pass voucher for 2 entirely different places... bug!
The show itself was average, if it wasn't for the Oakley store it would have been a bit tame though...

Was worth going for the free lift pass (that I didn't use).

I went two years ago and wasn't worth going. It might have improved??

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

I hope it's improved. We're going on Saturday. The offer of 7 days for 5 lift Chamonix passes swung it as we are going to Courmayer in March.
At worst, it's a day out

Scottish Scrutineer, is the offer for the Mont Blanc Unlimited pass?

Bode Swiller,
It appears to be:

This year's headline sponsor, Chamonix, will be offering visitors the chance to have two free days skiing when they purchase a seven day ski pass for the price of five.
The MBU pass can be used in three countries and is valid on all lifts in the Chamonix Valley, the Aiguille du Midi, The Montenvers, Verbier and Courmayeur.
To get hold of this amazing deal visit the Chamonix stand where they'll have this and a whole host of other great offers!

from the website
The potential saving outweighs the cost of the show (even including the SECC parking )

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Well I went along today and I was pleasantly surprised - I got some gear for my kids - helmets £10, Scott poles for me and he had a chat to some people about deals in Jan for chalet's and stuff so all in all it was good - the ramp was a bit tame as the kids jumping off them never seem to be able to land without falling but the guys on the bikes were AMAZING, seriously skilled and the kids had a good time watching that and riding the bull so they didn't moan.....too much.
All in all worth it for me and I will probably pop back next year if I am off that weekend.
8 out of 10 if I had to give it marks.
Cheers for the info and all the opinions

It wasn't too bad. We spent a few hours there, not a patch on the London show, very limited retailers, with small (expensive?) stands.
However, picked up a couple of bargains; waxing iron, wax, a pair of Hestras each (at 15% off). Spent some time chatting to the reps on the Ski Olympic and MGS/Val Cenis stands, might consider them next year. Also entered some competitions for free holidays, might get lucky.
My main issues was the £6 parking ransom and expensive refreshments at SECC. I'd expect a hall at Ingliston would be cheaper for all.
