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 :-)

Who was it? I'm pleased they were OK crashes are more fun when the victim is OK apart from damaged pride. I've looked at it several times - they forgot to shift their weight didn't they and tried to turn whilst in the back seat and the ski kind of shot out from under them. I doubt you could do it again to order Laughing However, I think their misfortune is my gain as it will help to remind to try and keep the weight correct so many thanks to the victim for crashing!!

That was unfolding before our eyes from the first turn.

Just to give a little bit of context, the first part of that pitch was steeper than it appears in the video (genuine red grade) and the snow was very hard-packed so not offering a huge amount of grip. As you can see from how far he slid, the speed he was skiing was a bit quicker than it appears in the video clip (which always seems to flatten slopes and slow down the perceived speed). All in all I was impressed, especially considering how much improvement he has made since he started skiing with us last year.

DB, In fairness to FLANGESAX he's very experienced at falling off ski and mountain bikes, so has the recovery thing pretty well nailed. I suspect he could jump from a plane sans parachute and still land pretty well.

Thanks for that, it's good to know he's coping well with it. When I first saw the clip it did look as though his lip was starting to go a bit and expected him to burst into tears. Good to see after all those years in Austria he still hasn't lost the great British stiff upper lip. Laughing

I find that if you fall on really steep ground you can sometimes accidentally (shhhhh) roll over and land back on your skis. All I need is for someone to video it, and not all the ones where I carry on rolling for many metres.
