I've not done much just a week in Chamonix and another in Levi (lapland) but loved it so much i thought why not try it as a career  |

Hey everyone,
I've picked up a couple of new injuries too - knee and ankle. I'm hoping they're all fixed by the time we set off!
Posts on this forum and Laura from SnowSkool said that the stock in Big White is good kit, but there's only a limited selection. If you want something specific, I hear it's better to get it before we go.

Hey guys, I'll see you all in Big White come Jan. Which cannot come quick enough. 3 months of work is going to a hell of a long time.
Bank balance has remained in tact at the mo but as soon as I get back to the uk it'll be hit. Just done the Mongolian rally and now just chilling in Thailand, work in a few weeks though.
Went to big white a few years back and it was bloody fantastic and hae heard it has just got better and better!!!

Also...I know Snowskool recommend the BMC for insurance, however I had a look about and Direct-Travel seem to have a better all round package if anyone still needs to buy.
I am saying on longer after the course and my insurace is costing £230 from Jan 8th till April 15th.
BMC were over £150 more for what I was looking for. |
