Try these two: I've not bought any ski kit in a while but they both had a decent range when I used them last:
http://www.snowandrock.com/
http://www.ellis-brigham.com/

Sometimes the best thing to do is get your ar$e down to the ski & snowboard show in early November (usually held in one of the big London exhibition centres); a lot of the retailers and manufacturers have their kit there for you to look at/try on.

Let me take you down a GS course at full chat on glacier ice in November storms and see you repeat that.

Mine is a different colour but I do use it for Alpine racing and the face guard is very handy for slalom and protecting your face from the wind chill.

North face of the Aiguille du Midi anyone?

Anybody who's been up the top section of Aiguille du Midi cable car in Chamonix will know what I mean.

Watched Art of Flight last night. Great stuff.

Chainreaction usually carries snowboarding stuff, but I'm not sure if they've stopped completely, or if they only stock it during winter.
filarinskis has some insane bargains, but again, they seem to be selling off the old stock at the moment, to make way for the new stuff - which seems to be the case with everyone. That's good news though, since everything is dirt cheap.

I won't be buying any more boarding stuff for a while now, just paid for two boarding holidays, and I've got another two to sort out before crimbo. Going to be a fun, but expensive winter.

Fook me 4 Trips out :shock: ! thats lots. Where abouts you going?

Yeah last years stuff is fine with me, i thought i would start looking just before the season to get it while its cheap!

+1 that's impressive.

I reckon the best I'll manage is 2 this coming season - which reminds me, I must start getting in touch with the usual suspects to maximise my time doing the white downhill stuff.
