Thanks Ally - that's very informative. I must admit, when OH & I bought boots in Decathlon a few years ago it was much less technical. However, we spent so long in the store deliberating, they were ready to invite us to their Christmas party :mrgreen:

I'd love to have a proper boot fitting & expert advice - it would be really interesting to see what a difference it might make to my skiing. Let's face it, I need all the help I can get! Once you've worn your boots in a bit & had another ski in them it will be interesting to see how you feel about them.

I bet you keep looking at them & touching them don't you? :wink:

:wink: Nice one Eggman - I look forward to seeing your photos!

Enjoy your shopping trip :D

I phoned them today, to check that it would still be okay even though I am now minus a toe-nail, and they said it would be fine, but it was a good thing I phoned because they said I should bring shorts or roll up trousers :shock: Apparently they want to look at my hairy legs and nobbly knees :oops: I will let you know why, after I get back home, probably on Friday.

Ally

I think we'll need a photograph posting too :mrgreen:

You should go to Specsavers.....the person in front of you in the red jacket definitely wasn't me! The only time I overtook you was in the queue for food :lol:

You'll be flying next season - new feet, new boots, new skis......I can't compete with that!

Hotel sorted, board newly edged and with a significant hangover I'm heading for Zermatt where I intend to ride with youthful abandon for two days. Have worked 17 of the last 18 days clocking up about 85 hours a week in the office :( can't wait to feel free up there, it's times like this I adore snowboarding alone.

Sounds fabulous........enjoy!

I wish I could still do things with 'youthful abandon' - the age gap is getting a bit big now :lol:

It would be good if Tony came as well - he's had an invite now from you, me, and Salski - but he doesn't seem very keen on the idea :cry:


Ally

You surely didn't think he'd even consider it did you? :lol:

Tony_H - you've paid a lot of attention to this post. I think that secretly you want to come too, & of course, you'd be most welcome! :lol:
