Mail for help.Help!!

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 :-)

just fine, I used to find it stressed the knees or thought it did because that's what people say, but in fact just having some strength in the leg muscles stops all that.

Yes they are, I've a doctors note in fact, chondromalacia patella aka runners knee in both knees. One of the ways of dealing with that is strengthening the quad's which has some dividends skiing Very Happy

I used to run 30 or 40 mile fell races, apparently hard to believe now Very Happy

Long distance running, seems not to be a healthy option, would you say ise, supports or disproves the theory wink

I heard the sound of screeching rubber and a split second later a car came sideways out of the next bend spinning before passing in front of me and leaving the road down a snow covered bank at the side


Clearly, this skiing lark is hazardous to health, I read only recently about you hitting your head with one of your own skis, and now the iijits are after you on the roads Shocked

Another really atmospheric photo, did I see some patches of ice on some of the other shots?

That's the Vaud for you, if they're not careering into you on skis they're driving like lunatics Very Happy

I did kick myself in the head with a ski, but funnier still was yesterday seeing someone I knew from a course on the piste, I stopped to say hello, turned to see where Mrs Ise was, over balanced and fell in front of his class Very Happy

It's a bit icy in places, it's been a while since it snowed, there should be a top up this week. But, conditions are still great, a couple of bare or icy patches but all runs and lifts are open. We don't get the traffic some other places do so the snow lasts longer.

Laughing Nice one, but a little embarrassing at the time, I imagine. Just resting your legs then Laughing

Conditions still look quite good, fingers crossed for the top up Very Happy

ise, I guess those runs are north facing (?). Just spent the week in Champery and the snow was still surprisingly good in places, despite the foehn winds and then the mild temperatures.

Sharkymark, a mix, mostly just not directly south facing. Hopefully some more snow by next weekend though.
