Cheers for the suggestions , the roof bars will carry 75 kg and our bags normally weigh around 16 kilos each .
I will sell the snowboard one day but whilst i can still take the knocks and falls i'll stick with the single plank :-)

Hi all

4 of us travelling to Gatwick(210 miles) soon and i need to load 4 luggage bags and 3 double snowboard bags into the car . 4 luggage bags will go in the boot but the snowboard bags won't fit in the car,i have roof bars but not a roof box and i don't know if they make a roof box that i could get 3 bags in or cheaper enough for me to consider buying .I've thought about bagging the bags up to make waterproof then bungee cord/strapping them to the roof bars but not sure if its the best way to do it . :-)

What have you done or how would you do it ?

I laughed at this and got excited ,,i was like 'oow my names going to get called up soon woohoo' !

I have one of these http://www.prlog.org/11137393-ski-snowboard-face-mask-neck-warm-review-for-bike-motorcycle-fishing-hiking.html and it's great for the really cold days but one night in Sweden we stayed up the mountain for some night ski-ing and it was -25 with a wind chill of -30 and my nose got that cold it was numb for the next few days .
I would still not wear a nose bag :-)

Could you add me as well please Ally ..La Tania 11th January :-)

Try it , i know i'll try skiing one day .

No advantages ,disadvantages are putting your foot back in the binding after you get off the lift and all you skiing friends will get bored waiting for you after a short while .
