I want to buy some touring skis in the UK for a tour later in the spring. I cannot see myself being in a position of being able to try before buying. Any suggestions as to the best place to go to buy (I live in Sheffield), or where to get good advice as to what to get? I am a relative newcomer to ski touring (though have done lots of downhill) and just want a general purpose touring ski. I'm not likely to use them more than one week a year. All help gratefully received.

I've just bought new skis and bindings from Backcountry in Ilkley (http://www.backcountryuk.com) - plenty of knowledgeable advice available from them.

Thanks - I might make a trip up to Ilkley..
