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 :-)

Spooning

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
I prefer the skiing variety. Bought these big boys a couple of seasons back and today seemed a perfect opportunity to give them an outing without tearing chunks out of the base.



Alas the major dumpage caused some logistical issues and my attempt to ram the snow plough’s half cooked work, rather than wait for him to finish didn’t turn out well.


20mins of digging out my beached motor later we were back on track. Kudos to the new Mammut long handle avi shovel which proved most useful on it’s virgin outing!

So by 10:30 we were finally on the Bruson lift and with an afternoon of Zoom calls ahead we needed to get a wriggle on.


First lap was lush. Love this forest in bad weather


Although lesson learnt not to ski between tree stumps

A couple more fast laps to enjoy the Spoon




Not quite enough to fully do the Spoons justice but still a lot of fun!

Hopefully another decent top up tonight from the snow Gods

The side slide on the Spoons is a lot of fun. Not so much if you’re one of the people in the line of fire as braking distances are akin to an aircraft carrier Skullie

Ok, I’ll agree the icy pistes aren’t fun on Spoons, but they can be skied rather than ‘survived’, and you really wouldn’t take them out if there wasn’t new snow. The very short 40cm running edge effectively turns them into 190cm Big Feet.

The area where they are a liability if not outright dangerous is hard moguls, as they have almost no tip/tail flex and take whatever direction they fancy Shocked

Another 20cm overnight so went back up to V for another few laps. After Bruson yesterday time to let the Spoons loose on the other side. Avi 4 so not much open first thing. Went for a lap of the Clambin forest


The spoons certainly prefer a bit of space to tight trees!

http://youtube.com/v/fBTAEcPs43Q

Attelas opened so went for a look at the top. A few pros in the bubble so followed them off the back into the 3 fingers couloir. Buddy went for the top entrance. Bold


I’m taking the chicken route in from the side


Sluff has auto purged at the top but nice and fluffy into the main chute

Good to have a guide to cut the slope as it opens out. Keeping to the side and escape routes

Back up for another lap. Pros are out: Leo Slemett (2017 FWT champion) skiing with Jeremie Heitz and Geraldine Fasnacht among others

Took the forest exit. Creamy goodness

Couldn’t resist a 3rd lap. Started snowing again so stuck to the ridge. Lush

I think I prefer my Spoons in tight trees to any of my other skis, as they can be turned in their own length with a twist of the ankles in powder.

I'm wholly blaming your choice of title for my questionable internet history from this point on. Isn't a spoon also a golfing implement? Jolly versatile, when you think about it.

Agreed. I had to scroll through it all again, just to make sure it stung as much as I thought it did. It did. It's wonderful to get this kind of footage from BobinCH!
