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 :-)

Learning to Ski (kids)

WhenI was a little brat, we did the British Ski School badges or some other club thing, I think a Bronze silver and gold badge ?

Anyone know if something similar is offered over here and what age the brats can start at ?

The old ones were the British Alpine Ski Awards (or if you're really old the Peter Stuyvesant ones) - current equivalent is Snowlife Snowsports Awards - more info here.

obelix67, I did Swiss Ski School badges when I was small - Bronze Silver and Gold. I should imagine they still exist - no idea about age - probably 4 or when they can actually ski if younger.

My regular ski school has a bunch of animals that are sort of mascot things for kids ski school...

everytime the kid learns a certain set of skills they get the next animal marked in their "passport" type thing....

you can ride the lift and they will tell you they have a "pygmy possum" or "rocky cocky" and what their friends are etc etc...

the "top" level is "extreme rat" he is (of course) a snowboarder and looks very much liek you might think an extreme rat might look.... he does cool jumps etc on ski school flare run nights.... I have no idea what a kid has to do to get their "extreme rat" marked off but I am pretty sure nothing to do with jumps....

Spoke to ESS they do badges or medals as they call them

So No 1 son should be able to get his black medal over the next 4 weeks - depending on the kid depends on how long they take 3 - 4 half days with the ski school for the first medal and he has been 2 already but not enrolled in the mdal scheme....you live and learn.

I think no 1 could be extreme rat but for a multitude of sins but not jumping Laughing

medals sound cool.....

I love the animals - but it would be nice if they made badges for the kids.... just in case anyone thinks the animals are "cute" my instructor was "pygmy possum" for a while .... he is 6'3" tall ... so no pygmy! He was always muttering about why did HE get to be the pygmy possum (it is also BLUE)

ahhh just remembered... here are three of the cuplrits

I'm in cork....

It is actually not as cold as in Canberra(Australia) in winter... but the damp and lack of sun is irritating....

Canberra is cold but frosty in morning and sunny most days.... Summer is stinky hot....


I lived near the Victorian ski fields for a while and it would snow a couple fo times a year but melt on landing... every few years the streets got coated....

First time my camelbak had frozen too.

He did one run then went back down with his mum.

The crowds and queues were killing me.
