Hurtle, digging around a little, I see that the sad death of Jean-Philippe Marquette occurred in 2007 (23 March) not 2006. Even so, long enough for legal event to have taken their course. They could affect a lot of off-piste skiers/boarders - yet I find it impossible on the web to find what the outcome was. I can't imagine there was cause for a cover up - but the silence is very strange. Perhaps our fearless SCGB reporter can enlighten us with some real news.

achilles, my understanding is that it was mentioned briefly at the SCGB AGM and that it is still ongoing. I think the Swiss are known to take their time.

Swiller is correct. There was a very brief statement that literally nothing had happened to progress the matter in the past year.
The price of that information is £55, please.

Bode Swiller, hmm, thanks. It would have been nice to clarify Swiss law fir us nobbuts (well, OK, me nobbut and mates). Quite an ordeal for all concerned whilst the Swiss authorities ponder, too.
Ernst Goldsmith, I thought it was a given that you think BS Infallible. Accordingly your information is already in the public domain, and no fee is payable to you. Court costs are £350 for that adjudication.

Nearly 3 years is stupidly long. Under European law all citizens have a right to 'quick justice' or something like that. Of course the Swiss can and will take as long as they like. But I would be calling Fair Trials International for some advice if it was me.

I am interested in this case. It is very difficult to find out anything in Swiss. As far as I know a trial has not taken place yet. Does anyone know anything? Thank you.

Whilst on rant , the SC of Great Britian is a bizarely named club - since they have nothing what so ever to do with skiing in the UK, or indeed Scotland. Indeed their membership seems to be comprimised of upper class southern english people who prefer to ski abroad
.
Have been looking over their website to see what they are all about and re skiing in scotland,.... it seems they went up in the summer to clean the place up, and have been holding/supporting/sponsoring events , courses for skiing, avalanche awareness training etc etc etc, across the uk indoor slopes !...

They'll spend the next 35,000 years decomposing. Or could just burn them I suppose. Place them gently on top of the green wristband mountain, soak in unleaded, rub two reps together and "woof" up it goes.

Well spotted. There are a lot of old feckers on this site who don't want the truth to get in the way of any of their ignorant rants. And, yes, the SCGB were doing all the stuff you mentioned back when that cant made his (un)original post.

Ahhh... SZK, my ears are burning.
Here is what the Great Ski Club of Britian have to say about skiing in Scotland -
| Quote: |
| Scotland is a great location for novices to take a ski break before splashing out on expensive ski holidays abroad. It is also a good cross-country skiing destination as there is an abundance of tree-protected, and therefore more snow-sure, tracks. |
Nuff said.

Yep, many times to ski there as well as being born in Perth. Also spent lots of time in Arbroath. You don't think Scotland is a good place for novices
You could contact the SCGB and offer an alternative appraisal for them to use. Or you could just whine about it like every other chippy jock I've ever met.

Haggis_Trap, don't know about 'chippy Jock' but you do seem to have an axe to grind. FWIW, I am surprised they are pushing the Quest, Respect the Mountain was, I suppose, a response to green hysteria that seemed to pervade the media a few years ago. I am unaware of the reps having a bad reputation. And to be frank, I do think there is such a thing as 'a little bit off piste' (though you have to be risk aware) - even though I highly respect davidof, who feels there isn't.

awww Haggis_Strap, now you're being a big old over-sensitive Mr McGwumpy Wumpy Pants. The joke was aimed t'other way round and quite a lot of my DNA is Scottish... and I have skied up there since 1979 including one full season.

| PJSKi, what makes you so sure that I haven't emailled [sic] the SCGB in recent years to highlight that their snow-reports for Scotland are frequntly [sic] made up, factually incorrect or out of date ? |
Because they would have replied to you with an explanation as to where the data comes from. I suspect, also, that you wouldn't find any explanations the SCGB could give you very satisfactory and would be quoting them and belittling what they said. The absence of any quotes leads me to believe that you haven't approached the SCGB.
Anyway, the only country in which I have every had racism directed at me is Scotland and, while out and about in England, the only people who have ever racially abused me are the Scots. Pretty odd really, when you consider that I was born in Scotland and half my family are Scottish.

Haggis_Trap, pretty sure I didn't say I hate the Scots. I do hate chippy jockstraps though. I do note your obvious dislike for the English, especially upper class ones from the south.
