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 :-)

EoSB15 trip report and pics

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Not quite a trip report, more a list of notable mentions and a few pics.

1. admin for organising the bash; Ronald for organising the lessons and and for the fear-inducing “it’s very narrow and steep here, so be careful” comment on a rather arse-puckering traverse with scary exposure; windymiller and el Hen because I know you’re both very involved behind the scenes
2. The four Sarah’s for being great roomies
3. Scampi Dellahanti for the many other things you did to make our stay in apartment 11 a great experience!
4. Kooky and Scarpa for hosting a fantastic mid-week party where they served free Willys and introduced me to Hot Widows
5. Hurtle’s fantastic mackerel pâté, that somehow ended up in our apartment and which was absolutely delish
6. Steve Angus and the Steve Angus Sensational Off Piste Group (Yorki77, NickH, protosaurus and snow_girl) for two fantastic off piste clinic days
7. Philipe for one of the best off piste days of my season (honourable mention to protosauraus for not crashing into me wink)
8. The tour Lac de Lou crew for: a) getting me through the tight spots, b) the great company and c) the puns… oh the puns: Kooky, Scarpa, Ronald, geepee and whitenoise
9. NickH for being my primary off piste ski- and stopping for a coffee/drink-buddy: the Peclette off piste and the ridge line skiing were memorable
10. KenX for some great skiing tips and the opportunity to wax lyrical/commiserate about my Dynafit Beast bindings Wink
11. ringingmaster and protosaurus for calmly sitting atop the hill, watching me while I bootpacked up in the blazing sun
11. carl for rocking boardies and flip-flops in the snow!
12. Alastair Pink for your outrageously dapper ski outfits
13. And, finally, the ’usual suspects’ who manned the deck at the bar at the base of the Cairn lift… at the end of each day when I was completely shagged it was always good to end up on that deck and find friendly faces Cool

For those with whom I skied, PM me for the dropbox link to download larger versions of these and other pics from the trip.


The morning gathering outside the Oxalys proved that the Lofoten Skittles have stiff competition in the colour stakes

I have washed my pants 3 times and the fear is still etched in them

It was a really amazing week, my first bash too and I wouldn't have wanted it any different. Thanks again for the amazing dinner at yours and "The Sarahs".
I did attempt a ski here at Obertauern when I got home but it seemed very flat without the snow heads collective Crying or Very sad
