Thanks Pablo and Trencher :D
Father Christmas brought me some nice Salomon ski socks, but they are quite thick.

I will try and be good and not argue with the technicians and just do what they say. I don't really care what the boots look like as long as they fit well and they are comfy (eventually) ...

Thanks Gooseh,
The boot fitting costs £150 and the guarantee lasts for the lifetime of the boot. I want to go on the snow dome the following day because I will be going home immediately afterwards, and it is a 250 mile journey so I don't go to a snow dome very often. I am hoping that my new boots won't be so tight that they actually hurt :cry:

I won't be ski-ing on real snow until October.

Hi Everyone,

I am going to buy new ski boots next week from Profeet in London, and I would appreciate some help with inside info. on the matter.

I've never bought ski boots before, but apparently they are going to take a mould of my feet and take a couple of hours finding me the right boots and getting them to fit.

All I know so far is that I need to wash my feet first and bring lots of money :lol:

And I also want to know if I will be able to try them out the next day on the snow dome (at Milton Keynes if anyone else wants to come as well), because if so I will book myself in on the dome.

I think my toe will be okay because it is 6 weeks since I broke it and it doesn't hurt now unless I'm kneeling cleaning and bend my toes (if you know what I mean), although I haven't tried running on it yet. It doesn't look very nice, because the nail is all blue/black, but I should think the Profeet technicians must be well used to injuries and customers with funny looking feet :D

Thanks very much,

Ally

Eggman,
Won't they have a sale on in the local shop in St Gervais as well? Have you tried phoning them? I mean, it is pretty much the end of the season now.

I will start another thread up about boots, before I get in trouble again for wibbling :oops:

Ally

Happy Easter Caron :D
And I hope you have a great time in Arabba.

Don't forget your passport :wink:

Anyway, just thought I'd take the opportunity to let you all know that I'm packing right now and going on Saturday! And by the looks of the forecast, we're in for a fresh dump!! Don't be too jealous! ;)

That's marvellous news Souldrive. Have fun :D

Hi Salski,
I don't see why Tony doesn't like the sound of St Gervais - it sounds like a really lovely place to me - with a great mix of slopes and posh and non posh villages.

Eggman and I are getting ready to ski with you - he's getting faster skis and I'm getting new boots - so we can try and keep up :wink:

I'm also going to see if I can fit in a couple of hours in the Milton Keynes Snowdome on Thursday morning, next week, to try my new boots out. I must try and remember to ask Pablo or Bandit if it's okay to try boots out the next day. New boot technology is all very new to me :D

Ally

Verbier - thanks, that sounds like great news for several people here :D

Eggman - which skis have you got your eyes on? Are they on sale yet? I'm hoping that I will be able to buy some cheap boots on sale at the boot fitting place.

Ally

Hi Eggman,
I hope there will be some snow left for you when you get there. You never know, it might snow masses and get cold just for you :D

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:

But I have made an appointment now for a boot fitting in London next week, and I'm not sure you and Salski will be able to keep up with me, once I have my new boots :wink:
