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 :-)

Overheard in the Cablecar

Poster: A snowHead
Heard on the cable car in St Lary a couple of years ago, this English guy obviously thought everyone was French and was speaking to a 'friend': "None of my friends know I am gay, just my wife but we have an arrangement, but then I don't do the things most gay guys do, I windsurf, play football and ski"!! And then he just says to this bloke: "Have you ever had sex in a car"?.................Yikes, Taxi for Gsyfreerider!!

Escaped the slush in chamonix with a sight seeing trip up the Aiguille du Midi the other afternoon.

Overheard a young lady asking "Wheres mont blanc"

She was looking at chamonix at the time.

On a chairlift a few years ago:
my student - 'when does it usually snow?'
me - 'well it usually starts to snow seriously around the end of October'
student - 'Oh! Does it snow more than once then?' Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

I'm afraid I couldn't actually keep a straight face. Embarassed

Another time:
Me - 'We're going to traverse across here on the downhill ski only, trying to keep the uphill ski in the air'
Student - 'I don't think one leg will support all my weight!' Laughing Laughing

To be fair to the second one he did realise how silly it was the minute he said it (could have been helped by the others falling about though). Very Happy

Wind ups for people asking what the Gazex avalanche tubes are for:
1. they are a snow distribution system, snow is taken down the mountain on lorries and pumped up through the tubes; or
2. hot water is pumped through them to wash the snow away at the end of the season

Lady of mature years, lunching with a large crowd of Yorkshiremen: 'Having lunch with all these men reminds of when I was a working woman.' For some reason, this produced a stunned silence, swiftly followed by a lot of guffawing.

Tignes 2008, a cafe at the bottom of le lac

City dweller on mobile phone marching around the entire verander outside:- Oh yah just skiied the face this morining, made me feel like a man i tell you. My dick was hard like Whoooooooo yeah. Yeah good day old chap, i tell you what when i get back we must meet up for lunch and a yah.

I looked at my wife and both laughed the 1st words i could say to her were " what a cock" she just nodded.

Just got back from Val Disere the other week and the place is full of Yah's, but most seemed harmless enough and were enjoying themselves. But im sure if you could be botherd to listen closely enough a few choice sayings would have been heared. The guy mentioned above saldy could not have any chance of not beeing heared, the whole restraunt could here him LOL

Not in resort but on the way up to Scotland last week i was being particularly muppety and genuinely on seeing a sign for Wigan Pier said "i didnt know Wigan was on the coast" . . .

Later in the weekend on discovering Scampi Fries were gluten free (they're not actually we were just all quite tired and drunk and had clearly lost the ability to read) i came out with the classic "are they made of real scampis then" . . . i did realise as i was saying it but was past the point of no return!!!

In fact i think i was pretty special the whole weekend . . . Although my friend got confused between sheep and deer at one point and thought she saw a bear (it was a cow). . . .

the best one I can remember in Shladming a few years ago on the gondola.

couple of english lads thought our group was german and couldn't understand us..

"god, michael you've no idea how much my ass hurts, I just don't understand why it does"

"It'll be alright mate, just don't tell your parents what you did, they won't like paying all this for you to come and stick beer bottles up your ass would they, I mean you could do that in England *laughs*"

"its not funny, if its still this painfull i'm gonna have to go the the chemists and get some cream or something, it f*cking wrecks, oh s*it, you think they can here us mate?"

"nah, their german, you can tell, they have thin skis"

"thats good *laughs*"

.. made me laugh at the top a lot! took a lot of self control not to burst out in tears of laughter on the gondola Laughing

There was a better one in Bormio but I can only remember bits of it, some reason unless you speak your always thought of as the foreigner Laughing

Recounted to me by my wife last season while we were staying in Aosta about an old chap she met on a chair lift.

Old Italian chap when he realises she's English: "Where is your Instructor?"

wife: "er, I don't have one"

chap with confused look: "but you will not safe on your own without an Instructor"

wife: "I'll be fine"

chap: "but your English, how can you ski without an Instructor ?"

Well I'm told a large percentage of scampi in pubs isn't really scampi but bits of firm fish (eg monkfish) so doesn't seem so silly to me.

Overheard on a chair in Tignes on a beautiful blue sky day:

Sloany teenager 1: "so, Tiffany, tell me: which do you think is the more stressful resort - Tignes or Val d'Isere?"

Sloany teenager 2: "Oh, I'm really not sure.....the queues in Tignes really are quite tiresome at times"

I was biting my tongue to stop me suggesting that they take up another sport, but that would have given away the fact that I spoke English and I would have missed out on the rest of the conversation.

It wasn't in a chair lift, but apparently one of the most amusing, but at the time unaware things I came out with was in the Ponderosa cafe on the horseshoe pass near Llangollen. Cafe was full of bikers at the time and I had my young daughter opposite me in a chair with my back to a group of them. Daughter had a full juice carton with a straw in the top, experience had taught me that if these are squeezed when full daughter would smoother table with juice out of the top of straw. Apparently I was cause enormous guffaws amongst the bikers by enthusiastically encouraging my daughter to 'Suck and not Squeeze'.
