I have it on good authority (I made it up myself) that going on Wednesday and/or Thursday is required this year.

I hear and obey our leader!

I always do as I'm told :D .......... not :P

Weds it is

So has anyone got any tickets for the weekend dates that are going spare???

It now looks like I will be going with my brother on the Thursday.

We are thinking of getting boots fitted - is this a good place for a good deal and good quality of professional fitting? Or are we better off going to a normal shop?

Hi Freshfreshpowder, my experience of this is when a friend decided to buy at the show, but it was over 10 years ago. Frankly, knowing what I do now, I think he got very lucky. The stand he purchased from (which was from a major snow sport chain in the UK) was incredibly busy, and the people selling, were doing just that. There was almost no "fitting" going on at all.

This may have changed in recent years, but personally, I would be looking to get any new boots I was after fitted in a far more relaxed atmosphere, where the fitter can give me undivided attention rather than dealing with numerous customers at the same time.

Don't do this at the Show. Go find a bootfitter who can give you the time to fit the boots. It's a lot of money to be spending!

Expect to spend 1 1/2 hours at least.
