Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I've always preferred a good snow hole in winter Smile Warmer than a tent, no wind noise and you can always add odd shelves and an "en suite" if you have time on your hands Smile

I have done lots of cold weather/snow field camping and only one thing to add to the above.... bring a pee bottle! I use a [cough cough] wide mouthed screw top Nalgene bottle with a wrap of duct tape around it so that I NEVER confuse it for a water bottle.

Usually, you are in your sleeping bag much earlier than you would be in bed at home, so you have that much longer for your bladder to fill.

Another tip is to have some nuts or similar lightweight/high calorie food and eat a handful at bedtime [ideally not salted].

Reminds me of Alan Hinke's story of when, on K2, his climbing partner allegedly used an aluminium Sigg bottle and froze to it. He asked Alan to blow on it to thaw it. Told as only Alan can!
