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 :-)

Strange things you've seen on ski holidays

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Was just sitting having a cup of tea earlier this afternoon, looking out the window, when suddenly a helicopter emerged through the cloud from the Col des Aravis and deposits a package (hanging from a rope) on the lane at the bottom of the hill. Very strange to have stuff delivered via helicopter to somewhere that has road access, in the snow, on a Sunday… but obviously it wasn't a medical emergency or anything so thought no more of it. A couple of minutes later, the helicopter is back. This time we watch it unload and some guys start unpacking… then the package stands up… it's a cow! And again, and again. In total 4 cows were rescued from the Route de la Soif (no idea what they were doing up there at this time of year)… hope they had their Carte Neige or alternative off piste insurance!

Anyone else seen some bizarre things on their ski holiday?


Apologies for poor quality video but if you click on link you can see that I'm not making this up!

Didn't actually see anything (that would have been inappropriate) but a few years ago skiing on a very cold February day skiing in France in very poor visabilty we heard a scream. We investigated and found a young woman with an English accent, accompanied by her boyfriend. Big problem with her knee, I administered rudimentary 1st aid whilst Mrs SL summoned the pisteurs. Victim was parcelled up in a blood wagon, then boyfriend approached me quietly to enquire if the Dr would want to take his girlfriend's salopetts off. I assumed the Dr would in order to examine her knee. Only he said "she is not wearing any knickers". It has worried us ever since, what circumstances would lead to such a set of circumstances: non-arrival of luggage; forgetfulness; habit; the obvious - but on such a cold day.

@Ski lots, having been made to lie on the doctor's table with my bum facing the open door whilst wearing a pair of tiny pants and told "not to move" as the doctor disappeared for ages to take the X-ray and examine the results, with loads of people walking up and down the corridor, I now advise everyone wear big knickers when skiing (plus trousers of course)!

He must really love those cows. Not ideal conditions to get your chopper out.

Seriously speaking, it looks about the limit of visibility to take to the skies and even then it's a close call.

@cameronphillips2000, on the serious bit… I know! We were thinking the same the first time the helicopter came through - this must be some emergency, surely, to be flying in this visibility?! But then could see they were just dropping something off and we're city folk so are always surprised by the stuff we see in the mountains… the video was of the last delivery - we knew it was the last to come as we'd phoned the farmer next door to see what was happening (they're not her cows by the way) - and by that time it was a struggle to see what was going on from the chalet, which is really not far away at all (we could hear the guys talking).
