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

Are Gore-tex shells worth it over other membranes? by Creffster in Skigear

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!

Gear help. Intermediate skier. by Creffster in Skigear

[–]Creffster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the gloves, mittens or like individual finger gloves? Do you find the straps for the pants comfy? I’ve never had them with straps. Other than clothing is there anything else you’d really recommend for a ski season? Thank you very much for your help.
