And do you always use them in the correct configuration? Does it annoy you if you get them the wrong way round? Do you have to swap them if you do?

:shock: :shock: :(

I say Snapzzz, I do not think this counts as wibble! Does it belong in a wibble thread? I think you should start a proper thread for this question :twisted:

Well, apart from the webcam watching in the Alps, I also make regular contact with some friends working the season in New Zealand, and start watching their webcams :shock:

Apart from that, I am entering the busiest period of my job. This will last through to September with me working long days and quite a few Saturdays. The good news is that once September gets here, we only have a month before the Ski racing starts again :twisted:

I will ensure that I make some time to watch the Tour De France and probably some of the Criterium Dauphine.

I am always interested. I have already bookmarked all the webcams for the places I am going to, or may decide to, visit next season.

I will watch those that work throughout the summer with great anticipation of next seasons snow. :twisted:

Are you planning on putting more weight on in Jan :(

:twisted: Yep, I have 8 months left to lose some, then I will have to fill my ski gear back up again. Baggy ski gear is way too cold, and cakes are cheaper than a new jacket and pants :lol:

Hi Woodpecker, welcome to the forum.

For what it's worth, from my personal experience of trying on Spyder jackets, they all come up in differing sizes of being smaller than they are supposed to be.

According to their website size guide, I should be a XXL, but I have yet to find a jacket which fits me :cry:

They have recently started to make stuff in XXXL, but I have never seen this size in a shop and given their inaccurate sizes in other options I am not prepared to mail order.

Best advice I can give you is to keep looking for what you want, and try to find somewhere where it is stocked in several sizes so you can try it before you buy it.
