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 :-)

Am I alone in ‘signalling’ before a turn in some situations? Usually on crowded cat tracks I will do a rather exaggerated start to a pole plant - one arm extended way in front - before finally putting the turn in?

I have Morris Minor Trafficators installed into my helmet - activated by buttons on top of my Ski Poles and transmitted by Bluetooth. Toofy Grin

@foxtrotzulu, what if the “receiver” just thinks you have crap pole skills?

It wouldn't take too much. Perhaps just a couple of pisteurs patrolling around the resort (which they do anyway); removing one or two lift passes a month from people seen skiing dangerously; and then publicising the fact prominently on social media and/or the resort website. The first resorts to do this would probably not only discourage the "dangerous" breed (of whatever age), but more than offset any loss by attracting a larger number of more safety-conscious skiers. So initially a win-win situation for them, slowly eroded as more resorts take it up.

In the US / Canada it is fairly common knowledge that ski patrollers can, and sometimes do, remove passes. I have never heard of it actually being done in Europe.
