So it is expensive compared to 6 days in France, but when you work out per day, there is not a great deal in it. Like last year we paid £750...

Not a fan of helmets, too big and bulky for my liking. Guess I'll just hit the other parks. So the snow is brilliant at the moment by the sounds, special order for the olymipics Any new pics btw

Boardwise have some good deals on their website often and they've got at least one store in London I believe. Boardridersguide and Extremepie often have some good deals on their websites also.

I rent everything (apart from clothes) including boots etc... it works out cheaper for me as I don't go that often - however group deals might offer you discounts? Never knew the skiing/snowboarding in Korea was good!

Quote: can anyone spec me where to buy good but cheap goggles? id like the tint to be as close to the natural colour as possible. iv worn goggles/shades that where either too yellow or too blue and i dont like that. thanks The different colours work in different types of light conditions. You defo want dual layer anti fog ones tho ... here is something i found on the net .... Lens Tints When it comes to lens color, you are most definitely...
