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 :-)

Skiing with a red flashing light during whiteout?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
I've been thinking about making myself visible to nearby skiers, when skiing in whiteout. Red flashing light used by cyclists (e.g. helmet mounted) spring into mind like an obvious solution.

Yes, I know, skiing in whiteout is not a good idea in the first place. But last season I got into one on my way back to the hotel (it wasn't that bad when I went out) and it was scary - skiing down a red run with 0 visibility and other people evidently around whom you can only hear but not see. Red lights would certainly improve things?

What do snowheads think?

Great idea.

I think this should be compulsory

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

If you made it a flashing orange light folk would think you were a piste basher or a snow plough and keep out of your way.

oleksii,

Saw a couple of skiers with those last Friday in Courchevel, struck me as quite a good idea. only problem for 'followers' if they pickup the wrong 'flasher'

A red flashing light might also attract a certain type of 'customer' wink

oleksii, I've had one clipped to my backpack for 10 years . . . come in handy more than six times. Particularly on a evening that too soon turned to night and I had a terrified skier to cajole down the mountain . . . always carry a good torch too . . . the new one outshines my truck headlights, has a 100+ yard reach and still fits in a pocked.

I've never deployed it for fear of being laughed it, but I have occasionally skied with one stashed in my pockets just in case it seemed a good idea.

When it's whiteout or generally poor viz, we fasten these to the back of our kids helmets. Allows me track the little bugs, and also gives me some peace of mind vis a vis their..viz.
