Really ????
So sorry :oops:
I didn't realise and I humbly apologise to the forum for my presumptions.

Oh ...
I've just done my snow dance again facing the wrong way .....
If Ireland has the snowiest winter ever you know who to blame.
:mrgreen:


But we will use your fantastic film as part of our dance ;)

If there is no snow by March, god help the ski resorts!

Unless I'm missing something, cheap boots and skis will save me money this season. I'm not ready to spend more on boots yet, and I'm yet to see a downside in the responses so far...
Seriously, spend what you plan to on skis and boots at Decathlon and get some much better quality boots. My boots are Salomon with custom linings, and they also do custom shells now so they really do fit your own personal foot. Expect to pay about £230 and it will be far better than having a cheap pair of boots and some cheap skis, then rent what you want when you're out there and maybe in seasons to come you'll end up buying your own skis.


Re BA ski carriage, can I remind people that ski carriage is NOT free. What they allow you is 1 bag free up to 23kg which can be a ski bag packed up to weight. However if you take a full size case and then an extra ski bag it will cost you £56 to prebook online or more if you pay at check in.


How many bags do you take on your hols, for three of us travelling one large case and a double ski bag which carries two pairs of skis, poles and boots. They did try and charge me last year for booking in boots separately so I just put them in the ski bag, so I may have stretched the truth a little but they are still free for us. 8)


1 bag. Boots in Boot Bag as hand luggage :D
