On the back off the thread 'If money was no object', I wonder what equipment you have and how much you paid for it.

My skis are about 6 years old now I forget the make now Atomic something, bought off season and ex demo for £120 instead of the list price of around £400 - might get some newer ones this year as they are quite heavy. Boots are Salomon's bought off season for £65.00. Polls second hand of ebay £8 and ski bag new of the bay was about £20. Jacket is 5 years old too and I forget where I got it from.

Hmm, interesting thread. I've tried to spend the money where it makes a difference.

1st set of boots this year £260

Socks - £60

2 x Ski suits and gloves - £40 (SH fleabay.)

Swore not to buy ski's but paid a lot for complete crap renting this year so may take the plunge if I can find an off season bargain... Won't carry them in a canvas sock though will use a peli hard case or similar.

Only other thing I'll willingly spend on are decent contact lenses.

Anyone else got any bit of kit they'd hate to be without?

Owen.

Scott Neo skis £300 half price, with Salomon Z12 bindings

Wedze Carbon ski poles £25 from Decathlon. I got them because they've got soft and comfortable grips.

Salomon Mission RS8 boots £160 (£70 off) in rare white/red colourway

Reusch gloves £25 TK Maxx (normally £80)

Adidas Yodai goggles £55 from the US, normally £115

Bailo black ski jacket £80 TK Maxx, rrp £380

North Face 5 Point jacket in green £160 Ellis Brigham, normally £240

Black North Face cargo sallopettes £75 from US normally £150

Nike ACG red sallopettes £17 from Nike Outlet store, normally £110

Blue Quiksilver sallopettes 110 euros. I had to buy these in ADH when my case went missing, but got the money back on insurance, so I guess they were "free"

I've also got a few fleeces, including a Berghaus one for £17.50 from Blacks, and a couple of Alpine Lowe ones for £25 in TK Maxx, normally £40.

I like to get decent stuff, but I don't like paying full price for anything!!! It pays to shop around.
