Hi, if they were purchased from snow and rock they have a comfort guarantee and will change boots minus the comfort guarantee credit which is in the brochure, but reading terms and conditions it states the time scales ie you had to buy them between sept 09 to April 10 to qualify so looks like eBay good look

Hi, I am similar measurments to your self and bought myself some new skis end of last season. I ended up going buying the HEAD MONSTER IM82 they are superb with a 120 tip 82 waist and 108 tail and nice and stiff to take my weight I think these are awesome. I was in between these and the K2 Apache recons they are both an all mountain ski but the head felt better. As tony h said get something wide!!

Hi all and happy new year to all not been on forum for a while been busy earning pennies for me yearly ski fix,I am going to flaine on 6/2/010 with my wife and son and are all booked up but my brother has decided to come with us so was wondering if anybody knows of any accomodation For a single person or any companies that do single occupancy, could be accomodation only as I am struggling to find accom price not really a issue

cheers russco

i must agree tony, st anton is my favourite resort of all time but there childcare facilities are not very clever which is now an issue for me!! but as far as other austrian resorts go like soll, kitz etc they don't even compare to st anton.

I must admit before i went to la plagne in january i was a little concerned with reports about it being a concrete jungle etc.. but the main reason i go on a skiing holiday is to spend as much time on the slopes as poss and as far as skiing goes la plagne rocks!! loads to do even without the link to les arcs.Tony give it a blast and you might find its actually as good if not better than a lot of resorts you have skiied in!!! who knows?? :lol:

Thanks guys for your opinions and wait for It i have decided on neither of these resorts and gone for flaine (grand massif ski area)well next question is ?!!! Is it a good decision to choose flaine ?comments good and bad please!

I have narrowed my next year family holiday down to these 2 resorts!! Can anyone give me pros and cons for both. I have chosen these resorts for mainly childcare due to my son being 4yrs old and we want him in whizz kids where they drop off and pick up from ski school. Both hotels are crystal club hotels and very near to slopes.

Hi rose hope you are feeling a little better,best thing to stop you itching those little blighters is piraton(not sure of spelling) but the stuff for hayfever and alergies
