Another option is to have a look on eBay, try to find a genuine personal seller who is looking to offload gear after 1 trip, you could get a bargain and could sell it on when you come back.

There was loads in Aldi. Good quality and cheap. But probably gone now.
Sports Direct did have loads.

Don’t worry so much about the salopettes, but definitely invest in a good ski jacket. You can wear it to the football and be nice and snug, you won’t regret it.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Decathlon all the way, top quality stuff at very reasonable prices, you'll get the lot for not a lot of cash. They sell eveything as well and a good returns policy. Shame there isn't a store in Wales, closest one is Reading, have been a couple of times, worth the drive.

Also Costco in Cardiff worth a look, you can get cheap gear in there this time of year.

Seriously worth getting your own gear for skiing/boarding, it last years, even if you think you won't go again.

Your post might suggest what you wear on your bottom half doesn't matter, but it certainly does, specially if you're a beginner who is going to be falling over a lot in the snow. Don't be tempted to wear jeans or any other cotton based trousers, get some proper water resistant ski pants. They needn't be expensive. You'll end up cold, wet and uncomfortable otherwise!

Good waterproof ski trousers or salopettes are essential imho. Particularly for someone new to skiing who may spend some time on their arse.

Good jacket is important depending on where you go, I went to Slovenia in February, first time skiing for 10 years and it was warm enough to ski without a jacket. I would still definitely take a good jacket though.

As mentioned Aldi stuff is pretty decent quality.

Don't underestimate the value of a,good pair of ski socks.

Yes what I meant was it’s best to hire the salopettes because you’ll only need them a few days, but a good ski jacket you can wear at home and never be cold again.

What's her name? I did a bird from your way years ago, she had personalised knickers. Her name was Canda. She had it on every piece of underwear. Posh bird.

The views, the beauty, the bars. But mainly because it’s rather exhilarating to throw yourself off the side of the mountain. They should ban the snowboarders though, annoying little tw*ts.

First time I went skiing I got a far better tan than I’ve ever had going to the Med in the summer. Got crippling sun burn on Christmas Eve though.

Having seen a party of six skiers wiped out by a gay on a tray....no offence meant... I agree they should be banned. It was nice seeing the helicopter take him off the slopes though.

We were in Zurich a few years back and come across one of their stores there.
I believe they are still trading in Europe and have an online store.
I've still got one of their jumpers in a cupboard somewhere😂

I went snowboarding a few years ago and hired salopettes from a place in Barry, sorry but can’t remember the name of the place.

When my son went skiing we hired from Mike Davies in Upper Killay.

It was a while ago so I can't say how he compares pricewise.

Give it a try. It’s far more exhilarating than skiing. It’s normally the skiers who haven’t tried it that slag it off.

Hurts more mind and you have to go through that horrible ‘beginner’ week all over again.

I find you need decent conditions to snowboard though, skiing is more versatile.
