We were in Bansko last year, nightlife is pants Skiing not great either but its a cheap alternative... Sorry to rain on your parade just before your holiday :-/

The snow is supposed to be ok at the moment apparently, 100cm (bottom)-180cm(top), I've never been there before.
I'll post up when I get back with a quick report

Theres one good bar at the bottom of the ski slopes, cant remember the name but you wont miss it, its huge and all timber beams and stuff going on. Alas that was only open ONE night while we were there. We were there around March time last year too. Best of luck!

We went to Chamonix last week. When the flight landed from Dublin landed in Geneva (6+ hours late) there were about 150 bags not on the flight. No option but to go shopping the next morning.

We went to a shop called "Technique Extreme" in Chamonix. Excellent prices. Totally kitted out for about €125! I went a bit mad and spent €50 on a new jacket. They had decent jackets for less than €30. Sallapettes for €10!

If you're going there, check it out. We ended up going back at the end of the week for more gear. Prices on the web site seem to be the same as the shop - don't know about delivery.

La La · 20-01-2009 12:55am

board: burton troop 152
it's a bit short but is a lovely freestyle board with a bit of pop. a dream in powder too. have had it since 2004 and love it to pieces.

pants: burton poachers

t-shirt: volcom

hoody: volcom

hat: burton

goggles: oakley a frames

chucking away my horrible rossignol boots and bindings and gonna upgrade. dreaming of...............

boots: 32s

bindings: cartels

if i were to get a new board i'd seriously consider lib tech, maybe GNU - may sound nerdy but the burton 2009 graphics are NOT doing it for me at all. and as much as the specs are important, c'mon, admit it - you want a nice looking stick, no?

Overflow · 20-01-2009 1:22am

I can only recommend Lib Tech, i just got a Lib Tech Skate Banana 156, tried it out for the first time on saturday, man its a sweet board, great in the park and on the mountain. Nice pop, light and flexible. Got a pair of Burton Cartels on it aswell.

tywy · 20-01-2009 11:12am

Being a student, I wear nothing too fancy.

I'm a skier so,

Boots: Tecnica Attiva Diablo Flame

Pants: Dare2b, cheap but they do the job, very comfy

Jacket: Extaasy Jacket. Haven't seen them anywhere but Livigno. Great jacket, great value for money

Goggles: Some sort of Scott goggles, I like them

Gloves: Well, mittens. Zanier gore-tex mittens.

Sunglasses: Bollé

Nothing else worth noting... cheap fleeces and a couple of base layers. I've never been cold really... other than my face!

connundrum · 29-01-2009 4:19pm

I've only started collecting bits for a first trip so

Pants: 2 x Nike GoreTex

Jacket: 1 x Vans Double Jacket (Outerwear & fleece innerwear)
1 x CAT Thermal jacket

Gloves: 2 pairs of thinsulate Aldi gloves

All the rest I'll rent.

If I really get into it I'll be looking to get a set of Flow bindings - they seems so easy to use!

Oh and instead of sticking it up in Bargain Alerts -

The Vans shop in Bambridge's Outlet Centre are doing a 3 for 2 deal on all products. Got 2 Double jackets and 1 pair pants for £120 (which equalled €130 on the day)

Good stuff too!

Regatta and Billabong store were having sales too, but the Vans shop really took my attention.
