What a Ski Show 2011 was! Bought far too much new kit, lusted after quite a lot more, made plans for the adventures of the future (namely things like this and all of these)… most of all, we met some fantastic new friends. Big shout outs to Altimus, our new favourite retailer; Snowmule, for a very clever invention indeed, Rude Chalets – see you in Morzine! The UK Freeski Film Festival, taking place tomorrow in Shepard's Bush; Snow Resort App, a great way of staying in touch with Alp-wide updates and providing some of your own; Morealps, the La Rosiere and Val d'Isere chalet specialists, Hofnar – yes, please – let's do stuff! White Dot Skis, whose Preachers made the author weep; Snowbabies – thanks Max Beesley! Boardstylist.com, thanks for the review! And last but emphatically not least, Snow Camp, who do fantastic work – looking forward to seeing you guys in the alps. Also had a blast at the Ski Club party and the WorkASeason Soiree – thanks guys!

Quiet, calm weeks to follow? Not at all. With only two sleeps until the Relentless Freeze kicks off at Battersea Power Station, we are getting super stoked (and lingo-ed up, obvs) for the thrown-down that will take place on our very doorstep.  Jon Olsson! Be still my heart.

See you there! Keep an eye out for us in our seriously bright lime green jackets, especially if the Freeze lives up to its name and you are chilly… Got some beanie hats and stickers for the first 50 or so people who ask us nicely.

Until Friday… AT
