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 :-)

Night skiing

A busy weekend with the kids, good conditions on sheltered slopes and an unexpected burst of evening enthusiasm post-bedtime stories:

When I read the OP I jumped to the conclusion that you'd taken the kids out after stories!

Enjoyed that. Little Angel

@Mosha Marc, Petzl Nao, brilliant thing. The Ultra is even brighter but more bulky... First time I've tried the Nao for night time off pisteing - well impressed.

Has anyone tried using mountain bike lights with a helmet mount? You can get smallish lights putting out a hell of a lot of lumen.

Give it another couple of years (actuaslly at the current rate of enthusiasm a bit more than that...!).

Mosha Marc that conjures up some images of quite 'outlandish' headgear! Happy A powerful headtorch is more than enough for 99% of night ski situations I would say.

@Mosha Marc, I use a 2000 lumen light on a helmet, it comes with bike or headtorch straps. You can adjust the power and it has a very wide beam, vital if you want to ski at a decent pace. The only thng with a helmet mounted light is that it tends to hide shadows in front of you. Some skiers wear a waist mount with a smaller head unit, that set up lets you see the contour shadows ahead of you instead of them being mosty hidden from your line of vision.

@Scarpa, 2000 lumen - yikes! - the Nao is only 575 at max... To be honest that was absolutely fine - even Sat night skiing steepish powder with a few pillows and the odd tree... Its quite nice to feel like you are skiing in a little 'bubble'.

@Mosha Marc, i reckon those would start to feel quite heavy, particularly with a helmet mount (extra mass further away from usual CoM of head etc...). Interesting concept to have 2 mounted on different 'locations' to create a bit of shadow differentiation...

@offpisteskiing, it's a bit Heath Robinson, but it fits on
