fair play to you. let me know what you think of the htbrid rocker :)

Something for my Blackberry I reckon. Anybody know any good apps or must have accessories for a Blackberry? Don't want it getting damaged in the snow either...

Maybe get yourself an iphone 8)

My new board has been stuck in customs at Cologne for nearly a week!! Only today would anyone at Fedex call me back to let me know whats going on.

On a more positive note my new boots arrived today and they are super stiff, extremely easy to get on and off and look quite groovy too :D Allthough sitting on the sofa in them for 3 hours has left my feet numb :oops:

Wouldn't worry too much about your BB. Last year I stacked it hard just off piste and didn't think much of it until I went to take a picture over two hours later. Instead of my BB I found only a gaping and very empty pocket (having continually reminding my OH to zip up her pockets all week!!) Unbelievably and with a bit of assistance from a couple of friends I found it laying in a 'me sized' hole and it was absolutely fine!

Shoppingwise (?) I'll just be happy if I can get my new boots to feel a bit more comfortable. Damn my funny shaped feet! And maybe a new hat....and perhaps some gloves......and....whichever bargains tempt me at TK Maxx!

So, I popped into Ellis Brigham in Westfield yesterday to kill a couple of hours and picked up 2 new jackets in the sales. The green North Face 4 point jacket I was going to order was 25% off in store, and I found a lovely Patagonia jacket for Mrs H at half price (normally £220) which is in a lovely turquoise/blue colour:

There are some really nice items in the sale too, including Arc'Teryx, TNF, Marmot, and other branded outerwear.

I just need a new hat to go with the green jacket now, and a new pair of ski gloves.

I hear you tony-got myself a new pair of TNF trousers, £175 down to £43.50 and a TNF goose down jacket for £52 from £240

and they match-sort of.....

I've had a look at the sales in central London and at the Hemel Snow and Rock yesterday - good prices and interesting stock but not for midgets like me :wink:

Going to have to wait for end of September for new stock in store so I can try to find small short salopettes. Quite fancy something not too baggy but guess that means expensive thinner material for the warmth (Arcteryx or Spyder?) The Obermeyer stuff in the US looks like it's the right inseam length but no UK stockists....

Picked up one of last years Dakine Heli bag things as I tired of having stuff in my pockets. Has anyone tried using a camelbak hydration pouch in the Alps and found that it freezes on them?

New CEM-fitted boots got a trial run yesterday. My toes and arches survived intact and pain free- Very happy as a result.
