You need to be careful Tony with comments like that. Gordon and the bigot patrol will hunt you down.

My HH jacket cost £80 its warm, breathable and waterproof....... I have been looking at the Surfanic website they have some great end of season deals

Maybe im weird, i dunno, but i try not to look at price. I look at something and if i like it i will have it regardless of cost, brand or anything else.

I loved that jacket, i wanted it i bought it. I will wear it with my £3 tesco jeans sometime.....thats the way i am.

Ian, We are off to La Plagne in Jan.....Counting the days already.

Brimster, i got the Jacket from Two Seasons. Its worth checking the website as they may have a few bargains left. Our local store didn't have my size but sourced it from another one for me.

Even though my hols were over in January i still used to look at the webcams with some jealousy.
Last night i took a look at Andorra to find grass...... :-(

But on the bright side i have one hol booked for jan and have already started buying stuff for that trip. I grabbed a £350 North Face jacket for £200, i am lining up my own boots for later in the year and Megan (my 9yo) is going to be taking lessons at Tamworth so we are all prepared for its return.

I think its going to be a long summer.

I really can't see why Scott wouldn't deal with this for you.
Would you be happy for a repair or do you want new skis?

If they try to fob you off i would email the highest person up in Scott you can find and politely point out that in the new digital age news of problems circulate fast.
State that you are prepared to post your story and photos on as many ski websites as possible.

Why would a company not repair them to save negative publicity??

Sidecut:Technically this is the difference between an average of the tip and tail measurements and the waist of the ski or snowboard, divided by two. Practically speaking, if you placed the ski sideways against a wall so that the edges at the tip and tail were touching the flat surface, the sidecut would turn out to be the distance from the waist edge of the ski to that wall. Instead of listing the sidecut as a single number, like 22mm, some companies use the terms sidecut and dimensions interchangeably. Sidecut tells you how much arc or shape your skis possess.



Radius: If you think of the sidecut as an arc, imagine that this arc describes part of a gigantic circle, one that you could draw in chalk on pavement if you traced the curving edge of your ski and extended beyond it. The turn radius (sometimes called sidecut radius as well) of a ski or snowboard is defined by this imaginery circle, always expressed in meters. Though the dimensions of a ski remain fairly constant throughout the differing lengths it is offered in, the turn radius increases with length. Imagine that as the distance from tip to tail increases, that visible arc simply gets longer. This increases the size of the imaginary circle which consequently lengthens the radius, and is the reason that a turn radius is refered to only with a specific length.
