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 :-)

Nice one! Sue Dickson (Sue Baxter many moons ago) was one of the top instructors on Cairngorm when I worked up there - 31 years ago!

She's an outstanding BASI instructor (former trainer of BASI ski instructors) and gave my wife some instruction on the Tignes glacier years ago, which was the best ski teaching Jackie reckons she's ever had. After her marriage to Alain's father Ian Baxter she went on to marry Kenny Dickson, former director of BASI. They eventually moved to the 3 Valleys to found their ski school.

Hope Sue joins us here, sometime. Her input would be valuable.

I did a week's instruction with Sue in Courchevel several years ago. She was first class. Very gentle, but managed to push to whole class forward so that we made lots of improvement to technique and confidence.

Sounds a bit funny that marrying 2 people one after the other Shocked Not normal even in the highlands of Scotland.

Well, OK... I suppose that's correct Smile

He was pretty quick down the piste after we got off the chair. He just seemed to zoom down the hill as if he had motors on he skis, all the more remarkable because he was bending down to clip up his boots at the time!

snowbunny, in fact he was going to fore-run the SNAFU cup for us if the EOSB had been in Les Arcs... doubt I'll be able to persuade him over to VT though. (Is there a SNAFU anyway??)

I shared a chair with John Smart, double olympic gold medallist in moguls. I then tried to follow him down catskinner. Given that I'd arrived the night before and there was a lot of nig moguls, I struggled, so at that point I retired gracefully from the guided tour he was leading...

I rarely get to share a chairlift with anyone Sad . Primarily as they have sufficient time to work out that it might be a hazardous experience rolling eyes

I will however to be able to contribute to the following threads :

1001 ways to not get on a chairlift
101 ways to frighten lifties
Snowboarders - My Part in Their Downfall

I might of course have shared a chair with the entire Austrian downhill squad but wouldn't now as I rarely open my eyes. Then again I doubt they practice much on Beginners' slopes.
