It's never to early to sort out your kit for the coming winter :D :thumbup:

Thank you for those words of encouragement and reassurance that I haven't actually gone gaga! Have now had a sort through of socks, gloves, hats, etc. Trouble is it just makes me long to be out on the slopes )

It is too early, November is the month for me to start doing a bit of work on the skis, December start adding a few more coats of wax, check that the boots have wintered well, January final coat of wax and we are ready to go........ so that will be five sets of skis for waxing and possibly a sixth if I can find a pair suitable for little W and a pair a blades that did not get used last year, what a hobby..... :wink: :wink:

Took a trip to a TK Maxx yesterday afternoon, and was thoroughly disappointed to find yet more Trespass gear.
It appears they are focusing this year on the beginner market, as some of the trespass stuff is very keenly priced, and would be perfect for first timers or people looking to buy their first set of ski clothing.
Not much good for a fussy wife who specifically wants an electric blue jacket.

Tony have you checked out Ellis Brigham ? There`s a couple of blue jackets on there web site.One`s North Face and the other is Burton,Or
if you want to spoil her for Christmas there`s a nice blue one by Kjus from Snow & Rock. :wink:

Thanks AJ, the NF one is a particular favourite of hers. I also like the Eider range, lovely colours and styles, but pricey too.

Burton stuff is for Boarders though.

I'd like every J2skier to take a picture of themselves in their newest bestest gear and post it on here. Could be a bit of a laugh doing it.

Tony, I'd like to raise the stakes a little. I believe that this is the 1st J2 skiers photo of this seasons gear in use on snow :D

Show off.
