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 :-)

Stand up for old age patrollers
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Some senior citizens have greater aspirations than free bus passes. A dynamic duo of ski patrollers at the US resort of Mission Ridge - Fred Lieberg (75) and Gordon Irle (72) - are still shovelling snow, driving bloodwagons and fixing piste problems when most pensioners are at the bingo. This report from today's Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

To put these hard-working oldies in perspective, though, I hasten to remind you of Ulrich Inderbinen, the Zermatt mountain guide who was still working at 95, last climbed the Matterhorn at 90, and recently celebrated his 103rd birthday in the village!

 Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

There are reasons why some people live to be a ripe old age, and I think this might be one of them - forget Bertolli, go skiing!

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

David, I dont't want a free bus pass, I want my free lift pass.
Many ski resorts give free lift passes to vintage skiers. I am sure it used to be at 70, but this year I see the age has been raised to 72 in La Plagne. According to an earlier thread ("How Long Do You Have Left?") I'm off to meet my maker at 75, so only 3 years of free passes. Sad
I intend to snuff it in grand style while on a skiing trip. Toofy Grin

Jonpim, There's only one solution.... take early retirement, or perhaps, get your equivalence (sure there's always room for one more doctor in France!) and move to the Alps....

PG, Brilliant! And why not? Just need to learn the lingo, grow the moustache, and France - here I come! Very Happy
Of course, I'm such a woossy stuck-in-the-mud that it will never happen.
Shame. Sad

Don't say that! The dream is what sustains us all, even if we know deep down inside that it's very unlikely. I am going to live life to the full and my free pass will be mine for many a year. I'm already planning and talking to Mrs B. and I actually believe she's listening.
