So envious! Nothing to do with the skis but just the fact that you can save up. I don't think I've saved up for anything in my life. Much easier to borrow it! :P

Well, half is from my spare change jar and the other half will be from selling a Wii console and Wii Fit board.

It is probably the most I have ever saved.

I can't!!!!

It is a Maggie Gyllenhaal or Heather Graham dilema. Both are fantastic but both have different qualities.

Do I want the supple bouncy one that is fun going backwards or the firmer, sleek one?

My brain hurts.

Beer is my choice.

There can be as many or more subtle flavours and aromas from a well crafted beer as any wine.

I have only £100 to go until I can buy a pair of either Scott Neos or Scott Punishers.

SO EXCITED!

I'll also need a new set of bindings.

I could also do with a new jacket.

Challenge him to a thumb wrestle.

Give it to me!!!!

How rich is he?

My gear list is slighlty more spartan than others.

Rossi 9S Oversized skis with Look bindings. Both bindings and skis have taken more abuse than they deserve and are going into retirement

Salomon X-Wave 10 boots. Wonder boots. So happy I paid £25 more for these than the boots with a lower flex rating.

Scott Racing poles. Wonderfully light with a great ergonomic strap.

Columbia jacket. One of my worst investments - poorly designed and seems to be the most common jacket at Paradiski. In it's defence I have to say that it is so warm that I hardly ever use the built-in fleece

Columbia Salopettes. I bought the jacket and salopettes as part of a deal. The salopettes are amazing keeping me toasty right down to the silly tempratures.

Arnette polarised wraparound sunglasses. Good stylish glasses that stick to my face. Can fog up on occassions though. Good but'll never be as good as my old Oakleys.

Techno Helmet. Warm and has built in headphones. The set back is that the silly designer put the rear vent directly under where the goggle straps go.

Spy goggles. I have had them for 5ish years now and they are tip top. Never fog, good in all light conditions, and a bright orange/red colour making them look rather cool.

Dakine low cut gloves. Really slim fitting gloves that keep my hands really warm.

Dakine Heli Pack. Just such a great bag for on and off piste.

G-Shock Watch. Until I am a millionaire this watch is perfect. It can take all types of battering, it is really cheap, accurate, and has a timer.

Saving up for - Scott Punishers, Scott Neos, Scott Missions, or something of that ilk (doesn't have to be Scott, honest)
