No sarcasm intended - what else would I put in there? :roll:

Skis only, or so most airlines specify.
You just have to act dumb and ram it full of 'padding'

You will need to thicken the pole to take the handle bar mount. I used self amalgamating tape as this I water proof.
Chest mount is bang on.
Software - iMovie is easiest but final cut better.
Faster frame rates best for slow mo.
720p gives a wider angle on that model, I think, so use that

Absolutely no issues today. The t&c state genuine sporting goods....as far as I'm concerned that's ski socks and the lot.

Easy jet charge £27 each way for a ski bag. IF this is your only bag (other than hand luggage) this can be up to a whopping 32kg.
For me i would take the risk an ram as much as poss in the ski bag, in fact i do.

I find getting in under 20kg challenging

You need to cut back on your beauty products then mate, perhaps leave the straighteners home next time?

My case never exceeds 15kg, my boots get packed with my skis.

Hi Snapzzz :D
I hope you both have a great time, and find some lovely people to ski with, or manage to enjoy yourselves on your own :)

Hmmmm, so if i understand this right..... If i find some lovely people to ski with then thats all good? But otherwise i have to try and 'manage' the situation?

I guess that answers the OP's question then, i guess people do think its sad.....But i couldn't care a less what people think because next week i will be in the mountains and skiing and thats what i love. I don't need to be with anyone else to enjoy myself, i'm quite used to my own own company and more than happy with that.

Gosh, i do hope i manage next week...... :(
