I have had boots fitted by the guys at Ellis Brigham in Glasgow and I would not recommend them to anyone... got my money back.

No it's not, that's just silly. I get all my expenses paid when I'm working, all the accommodation, transport, food, insurance, medical expenses and a certain amount of kit, not a single bit of that pays the mortgage, or the costs of owning a house, or a pension. Not that I assume the costs of owning a house are much of an issue for anyone earning £11k a year.

Assuming people are entering the industry for a 'career' it isn't a bad starting point at all, especially with the apparent earning potential.

I love how it grinds to stop in the south when you get a little snow :lol:

...and ref: CEM, PM him for a recommendation on a boot fitter. I wouldn't go to Ellis Brigham assuming they were going to fix your problems (or any boot fitter), the boot may not be the right size or shape for your foot. I just wouldn't go to Ellis Brigham at Xscape...

I'd like to know what expenses are. 11k is a decent amount of money if you are spending half your time all expenses paid in a hotel ;)

Thats not unusual for LOADS of skis to be fair.

Yeh you are right. The Lords seemed to me to be a particularly common one last year though. Or maybe Lord owners are just more likely to post on the internet about their issues :lol:

Do you mean DIN setting 11? :shock: :shock:

Just thinking about that makes my knees sore. Do you go 'big'?

Soon you will need these.
