Their latest DVD ‘Dynasty’ includes skiers showing what can be skied in China, Norway and Michigan. That’s a good skiers alternative to the Queen’s speech for £8.

Motorola Ski 2-way Radio: Want to stay in touch on the off piste backcountry slopes? Motorola is the best walkie-talker for ski enthusiasts who need reliable communication as you can coordinate a channel change for everyone in your group to avoid  interference from other channels. Looking for something more slick?! Then you could opt for the Walkie Talkie Watchie. A hands- free version of professional 2 way communication which makes you look like you’re in Star Trek but keeps you down with the kids on the slopes. From £50 for either product.

Romper suit: Ok, we’re getting silly now but you’re cold and wet after a day in a blizzard and fancy catching a few minutes shut eye before après ski takes over.

Visit Jack Wills from £69 (and the ladies version has snowflakes on it, how perfect).
