It all the parents fault :wink:

Do I not remember Snapzz saying something on here not so long ago about little one not enjoying the skiing or not getting on too well?

Oh for gods sake Snapzzz !!!!!!!
Truth coming out now :mrgreen:

1 - are you at home bored and can't get out coz of the rain - like me :roll:

2 - are you just suffering the normal grieving process after putting your kit away? Mine is still all over my office - I like looking at it :D

3 - why not just go fo a bit of a shop in your local place and see if you can resist taking the credit card out :thumbup:

Well - have I corrected the above as needed?

And ...
I feel pretty confident that an i pod touch would go down much better than a pair of skis that can't be used for 9 months !!!!!!

Go and buy yourself some gloves :roll:

There are quite a few reasonable priced kids skis out there but I have not taken the plunge due to kids growth .... boots I would have to buy every year to keep up with the foot growth and skis every year Little W goes up to a new size so I don't see it as a worth while investment till they get a tad older.
I hire skis, boots and poles for her only as she has her own helmet, which has been a good investment as it has lasted her a number of years, so rental prices I have never paid over €39 for her gear and most have been between €35 & €37.
So I guess my answer is shop around on the net for the best deals :thumbup:
