buying equipment

Anyone know if your better off buying googles and gloves in Pamps or in the UK?
Are goggles necessary anyway?

Dear Gail
Apparently goggles are supposed to be better if it's actually snowing whilst your skiing. So my kids told me. We put them on our christmas list and got given some that cost less than £20.
hope this helps

re: buying equipment

unless your a serious skier, or planing sking in blizzards i think your better off with a good pair of sun glasses,

Most ski euiptment, is much cheaper in bulgaria.

re: buying equipment

the first shop on the left (opposite the Whit Heart) youll find it easily, we got boots from them, friends of ours got skis and board, all got good deals and very good prices.

re: buying equipment

We (party of 4) all had goggles to take with us, I only used mine once the whole week when a bit of a blizzard occured on the highest peak, other than that they sat on my forehead or in my pocket. Wait till you get there to decide, there are some good deals over there for ski equipment, a mistake I made, took everything with us, gonna sell it all on e-bay or something and buy new over there next time I go.
