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 :-)

Hervé Maneint RIP

I've just received this email from Scott UK:

"Today, the SCOTT Sports family is in shock after receiving the tragic news that Hervé Maneint, Ski & Ski Boot Senior Product Manager, has died in a skiing accident in Chamonix, France this past Friday afternoon".

Here's the official announcement (slightly edited/condensed) taken from Wildsnow.com:

Annecy, France / Givisiez, Switzerland. The SCOTT Sports family is in shock after receiving the tragic news that Hervé Maneint, Ski & Ski boot Senior Product Manager, has died in a skiing accident near Chamonix, France this past Friday afternoon. Hervé, born 1961, was hit by a falling rock when skiing with two mountain guides and one more person; he died instantly.

Hervé Maneint had worked for SCOTT since 2000. He was responsible for the entire Ski and Ski boot development and a great ambassador for the passion of skiing beyond SCOTT. Beat Zaugg, CEO of SCOTT, says, “The passing away of Hervé Maneint is a shock for the entire company. We have lost more than just an enthusiastic employee. Hervé lived his profession with an incredible dedication. To him, his job was not work; it was his passion. Hervé was larger than life. He was loud, humorous, always had strong opinions, he could be annoying, irritating, but, above all he was alive and passionate. He loved his work, his skis, his boots, the sea and the mountains, his family, his wife and his two sons. And he had such a big heart…”

The thoughts of the entire SCOTT family today are with Hervé’s family, his relatives and his friends. We will always remember Hervé’s great personality, his truly inspiring spirit and his heart-warming character.

@spyderjon, Sh+t

Another one gone.

2014 Franssen and Aucliar hit our family hard. F&A went through an avalanche which occurred way above them. Unavoidable. This one today sounds the same. Falling rocks always been an issue in Chamonix, but an escalating risk these days of lack of ice in the Mt Blanc Massif, so many places now 'rock alley'.

Heard from Woodsie (Scott UK) about this yesterday as we were nagging about other things - OH did an interview with both Bobbie Burns and Hervie Maneint
