It's snow joke!

The snow's here. So whack on your crazy ski suit and hit the white stuff!

There’s more snow outside than on a table in a dodgy night club in Lewisham. That means two things. No work. And lots of play! If you can, then we suggest you cough up some serious mullah on some of these snow gadgets, so you can take advantage of the biggest snow fall this country has seen in 13 years!

Lib-Tech Skate Banana Aside from the awesome-sounding name, this snowboard looks gnarly dude, with its fluorescent colours. Its unique design improves edge hold and gives you more control, so you can impress the ladies with your 50/50 Grinds and Backside 720s, whatever they are.

Alurunner Want a sled? You may as well go for the most hi-tech one you can think of. The Alurunner’s the world’s first sled an adjustable shock absorber system, which allows you more athletic handling when going down the snow-covered slopes of Croydon. There’s even an aluminium claw brake to stop you crashing into snowmen.

Venom Switchboard Sled not your thing? You want a snowboard that rides like a scooter my friend. The Venom Switchboard has a double hinge system so you can direct yourself as you hurtle around like a snow-crazed loon.

Atomic Doubledeck D2 skis Nobody will think less of you if you whack on your ski suit and strap on a pair of Atomic Doubledeck D2 skis. Honest. It’s like that whole shorts thing when the sun comes out. Nobody gets them on quicker than the Brits. The D2s have two decks – one that connects to the snow and an upper deck that reads the rider’s control impulses. It supposedly makes for an easier glide, but we reckon they just sound fun.
