you're quite right Pablo, having read a bit more about rear entries (ooh, matron) they do seem a bit basic and a step backwards unless your need is desperate like PSC.

I did suggest that to OH in Jan but he threw his toys out of the pram and insisted that if they fitted last year they should fit this year - we don't have our own skis so maybe I could hijack him when we go and get them!

Only 3 weeks to Val Cenis - hooray.

Pablo - at the ski shop in Hopfgarten last Jan 2009, and they were fine in Nendaz last March.

thanks Dids must have been typing at the same time as you.

Sounds fine for the sking we do.

thanks

are they not a good idea then :cry:

what else can I do about getting boots that don't break OH's ankle before he gets them on and will do up when he does??!

I have to admit I'd only looked briefly on t'internet but I thought there seemd to be some sites selling new ones, why on earth would they stop making them? Is there some sort of safety issue with them?

I saw reference to these by chance on ParalyticSkiCrazie's thread on St Martin De Bellville and they sound like a godsend for my OH as they are in-part designed for the larger footed and calved among us (OH is ex-rugby player and spends every evening on his Concept 2 rower)

Last time we went skiing in January it was almost mission impossible to get his ski boots on (they are his own and fitted the season before but he's obviously put on more muscle since then) so these sound ideal and neither of us knew such a thing existed. PSK said it was the comfiest boot ever and I can see no reason to buy another sort ever again!

Just thought I'd post a separate thread in case there is anyone else out there unaware of this fab innovation and could benefit from a pair.

I bought another pair instead, very boring black and white, but a bargain at £15 for D2 I thought.

Last year I took hubby's adviced and bought salos with straps so as to keep the snow out if I fell over, however I don't fall over as often as I need to pee, but of course that doesn't cause him any problem in them at all!!! :roll:

Hi Lynn

I know exactly what you mean. I bought a beautiful pair of ski trousers, pink and brown check more like boarding pants really that were cheap at £40 however, this necessiated a new pink jacket to match trousers so came out £100 lighter! and this after having new salos and jacket last year!! The only problem with TK Maxx is sizing, got home to find trousers were too small so all had to go back!

You don't really mean that about the alsation do you??!! you should just be tidier :twisted:

My boxer eats (literally) anything - he's had to be opened up twice to have various debris removed that's got lodged in his gut!
