Shopping List for the Season Ahead

I chucked my boots in a bin in Mayrhofen in April, guess I'll need some of them!!

Some nice plain black pants would be nice too.

Congratulations Stewart :D

I thought that Club Med deal in St Moritz sounded very good indeed. I hope you have a great time.

So far I have only been able to buy our morning train tickets out to Moutiers, for our holiday in Courchevel. There is some problem with the night return tickets and Eurostar aren't selling them yet. But in any case, I think I will get the French sleeper train to Paris instead, and then get the Eurostar from Paris back to London. That way I will still be able to get my extra day ski-ing and possibly also get some sleep on the train (as the overnight Eurostar isn't a sleeper train). But the French train won't be available for me to book until the end of November.

And my apartment isn't available for me to book, yet either. So altogether I'm not doing very well with booking my next holiday.

I'm not buying any new gear. I can't afford it, and I don't need anything anyway.

Well i have my Jacket, bought in the sales in March

I need to get some Sallo's, maybe a dark grey and possibly a helmet although i haven't decided on that yet.

Definately going to see Colin in the Autumn for some boots.

Other than that, just the little bits...a new beanie, possible some gloves.


I quite fancy some of those caramel sallo's....they sound well tasty.

only the 1 thing on my shopping list for next season...a ski chalet, just starting to research the ins and outs of buying abroad etc etc, but initial thoughts would be the 3 valleys area :wink: :wink: :wink:

Are you serious Freezywater? Are you really going to buy a whole chalet in the 3 Valleys?

Well, in that case, I am thinking of buying my own ski resort somewhere very close to a train station in France :wink:

And I'm going to employ my own ski instructor - someone with a very good sense of humour who doesn't mind picking up all the detritus I leave behind when I fall over - like skis and sticks etc.

And, all my ski lifts will either be solar powered or run on hydro-electricity generated by my own environmentally friendly dam.

And, I will buy several mountain restaurants serving excellent vegetarian foods, like vegetarian tartiflette, and non alcoholic drinks like Schloer, and tea made with proper tea bags not that horrible tisane stuff.

And, there won't be any pushing in the lift queues in my resort - anyone doing so will be sent home instantly.

Oh yes - and all the hotel and apartment rooms will have heating that can be turned off/down at night so that no-one's nose blocks up, and humidifiers will be supplied on request.

:D :D :D :D

Everyone else being serious and then AllyG goes and spoils it.

The reason for Caramel Sallopettes is that I have a Green TNF jacket and they look superb with the Caramel Sallos.
I tried a pair on in Ellis Brigham last year but could not force myself to part with 200 notes.

It could be worse, my OH wants a pair of Chanel Skis costing a reasonable 2700gbp.

I was all for visiting AllyG's resort until i got to that 'non alcoholic' mumbo jumbo.

I didn't get that far!! The vegetarian thing had me running to the fridge to lick a cold raw steak.
