  • Secondhand ski kit!


    03 November 2009

    Skiers and snowboarders can buy and sell secondhand gear at the Ski Club of Great Britain's bring and buy sale next month in London

    Skiers and snowboarders wear a very unique facial expression. It's the one of people paying through the nose for their sport while silently weeping inside.

    But this year the Ski Club of Great Britain (SCGB) are trying to ease the collective pain of the winter sports community by launching an enormous second-hand kit sale, just as the lifts start opening.

    The idea is simple: sell your used kit at this event and not on eBay. The result is budget clobber and gear. Which makes shelling out £200 on a week's lift pass slightly more bearable.

    SCGB have teamed up with Natives.co.uk – the site for seasonaires – and Mad Dog Ski to host this mammoth ski jumble sale in London on 11 November.

    Kate Whittaker from Mad Dog Ski said: "A lot of people don't want to fork out for kit if it's their first time or if they are feeling credit crunched."

    Bear in mind though that a glass of on-slope mulled wine will still set you back at least seven million pounds so you may still feel slightly squeezed if not crunched entirely.

    The event kicks off at 6.30pm at the Ski Club HQ - The White House, 57-63 Church Road, Wimbledon Village, London SW19 5SB with sellers paying a fee of £5, but buyers getting in for free.

    Tickets can be bought from the Mad Dog Ski website.

  • Airboards


    30 October 2009

    Airboards are a seriously cool addition to your winter holiday! They're a great alternative to skiing and snowboarding and they look like great fun.

    Airboards are durable, despite being inflatable and are constructed from a coated nylon, withthe X or extended series being both corrosion and mould resistant (which is handy when there's no snow about and they need to be stored). Rather than the under side being grazed along the ground each Airboard actually has runners and or reinforced material that prevents the event of a puncture (and a repair kit is included just in case).

    Airboards can reach up to 80kph and can be used for jumps so it's best to hold on and use knee protection. The Freeride 180 is for taller adults and the Classic 130 is for shorter adults and children over 14. Amazingly there is even a board for kids under 14; the Kids Classic 50 so the whole family can enjoy the body boarding adrenaline rush.
