 Poster: A snowHead

I almost forgot...
FAFFING!
I know a few people who are masters of this art.
Can equally be applied to other activities that require certain specific elements of clothing and equipment.

“James wouldn’t like this”...My and Mr P’s expression for dire on or off piste conditions - referencing our friend who has become a bit more of a lightweight these days and would moan like mad if he’d been with us.
“Making yellow snow”...what the chaps can do if the side of the piste when they’re caught short.

@queenie pretty please, you know there is no word in French vocabulary nor Swedish for "faffing".
Ski touring can add a whole new dimension to faffing in a skiing environment.

Indeed! Our regular touring group has evolved a system of faff cards. Each player is assigned one faff card per day. Anyone can call a stop by playing their faff card but they cannot play another on the same day. If something else needs doing they have to wait until someone else plays their card.

My last radio conversation on piste:
Me:"Lima Foxtrot two to Lima Foxtrot one. I have a Delta tango niner. Code Orange. Repeat, code orange. Authorisation Pickard Omega four. Over."
Friend:"Oh, hi Brian. I'll have the veal sausage and fries with a beer as well."
Me:"Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra!"
Friend: "Oh, errr, Right. Err. Lima Foxtrot One. Roger that Code Orange. But make mine two Delta Tango Niners. Over and out."
Me: "Sigh. Out"

Le ski amont, le ski aval, le derappage, plante ton baton, le chasse neige, ecarte tes skis, godiller, la premiere etoile, les fixations... various terms I remember from ESF lessons as a kid. And, more recently, when my kids had lessons... Piou Piou, pizza, et frites..!

That's because automatically, your first run of the day can become your last run.

Harscheisen
Harsch meaning rotten snow and ice.
Eisen meaning Irons.
A ski crampon for rotten snow. Many people think it's for climbing on skis on hard ice, but will soon find out to their cost that they don't work on ice.
Obviously, soft alloy plates won't penetrate ice and simply prop the ski off the surface, making the skins useless.
Skins work well on ice. But not on rotten collapsing snow.
That's when to dig out the harscheisen.
