Looking forward to an update from original poster on how the journey went.

I was meaning why wear a bobble hat in a nice warm pub?

They are a bit quicker to get in and out of. I have never tried them but my mate has got some and loves them. You get a lot of heated debate about the pros and cons of Flow bindings and whether they are better or worse than normal ratchet bindings like EST bindings. If you look around on some of the snowboard forums you will be able to read some of the recurring debates.

Flow bindings are definitely the way forward. The ball and chain snowboards now and again(I have converted her to more civilized ways)and I have to say I don't have to hang around the top of chair lifts nearly so much since she fitted the flow bindings!! :D

An interesting point actually. You don't see many helmets worn in the pub. Why do people wear bobble hats? And why would you change from one to the other?

Whats the difference between a beginner snowboarder and a snowboard instructor??

Ahhh Snapzzz,

I have to admit you were not top of the list to ridicule my post, but you were up there. Congratulations, and thank you for reinforcing my point!

Idkwia, you have committed the cardinal j2ski sin of having an opinion which differs from the mainstream 'gang'.
I don't wear a helmet as I like to be aware of my surroundings. Helmets give average skiers an inflated sense of ability and invincibility. I like to be able to hear them coming.

Have you considered a tour operator? They can be reasonable and sometimes include transfers.
