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 :-)

Nursery Slope
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

The term ‘Nursery Slope’ seems self explainitory. But I’ve been flicking through a book, published in 1945, called ‘A Dictionary of RAF Slang’ which refers to ‘nursery slope’ (as ‘an easy target on which bombing-beginners practice.’ Follows ‘nursery (An elementary Flying-training school.’)
Anyway, I find it interesting because it only makes sense in the way skiiers refere to it, a gentle slope to begin skiing on. 1945 though, I’d have thought, surely pre-dates ‘alpine’ sport skiing as we know it. Would such a thing have existed pre-war?
(PS. No IDEA where the ‘I’ve weed myself’ bit of my post came from, it doesn’t exist in ‘Edit’ mode!)
