Do you often find the gear you hire at the resort is shite? Sweaty boots with dodgy laces and big heel lift? Crappy bindings that come loose? Board more flexible than a credit card and not in your preferred size?
I met a company at the Metro Ski & Snowboard Show on Sunday […]
UPDATE: I’m selling I just sold a pair of EG1’s on ebay but you can still buy them at Boardshop.co.uk
I bought a pair of Electric EG1 goggles online back in February, just before my last trip as it turned out. Unfortunately the postman must have nicked them, as they never arrived.

Been doing some reading about snowboard edges. Thinking about tuning up before the next trip. Don’t want some nice newly sharpened edges being ruined whilst the board is in transit. Read a good tip for protecting them at Snowboard Club UK:
Handy tip: foam pipe insulation.
