Heading ski-ing next week and forecast is for a full week of the white stuff!! :D

Can anyone tell me if they know of any suppliers in Britain where I could source powder leashes for skis?

Ise - How exactly do these powder traces work?

I would be prepared to overlook the Snow and Rock logo if the product is good!!!

long bits of ribbon that leave a surface trail

leashes are a no-no in avalanche terrain, you need to separate from your kit

got to dash.... snow calling

Thanks.

I agree on the separation issue.

Enjoy the snow!!!

We were discussing the fact that we've never seen so many folks digging for skis in all the years we have skied, as on this trip. Maybe we need a passive reflector for skis. Like a Recco, but the user could follow a reflection of the signal for their own kit.
