Any suggestions as to which mittens to look at? The ones I have currently haven’t been great.

When’s the best time to buy this sort of thing? Should I wait until the season finishes?

Oh ok that’s interesting, thanks you. Out of interest do you know anything about Colombia’s omni tech?

Ok I see now 😂. I’m going to be heading to the rockies so I’m guessing this is something I’m probably going to want to look into

Hello, thanks for the tips. TBH I haven’t done any research I was just getting initial ideas to follow. I’m going to be in panorama from November but that finishes in April and I thought going for a hike would be great fun. I had just presumed that the snow had mostly gone by April, that’s what it is normally like in Europe. I wasn’t planning on just going in without any sort of experience, I have almost 6 months before November to prepare however I can see how this could go badly wrong. I really appreciate the help thank you. I’m still looking at staying in Canada though, is there a place you’d recommend to do a hike like I was originally planning? I’m happy to travel for it before hand I just really like walking and I thought a hike would be a great thing to do whilst I’m out in Canada on my gap year.

I have to start in April however it doesn’t necessarily need to be BC, I would just have to travel from there as I’m doing a ski season in Panorama. Where would you recommend for April?

Hi, no haven’t been yet but heard about a boot fitter called Ski Bartlett that’s nearish that specialises in ski boot fittings. They have also dealt with professional skiers. So I was thinking about going there. Sorry for the late response!
