 Poster: A snowHead

As a member of the CFe I received an introductory email from the new MD Ian Brown; in which he asked people to let him know directly if they felt there were areas where improvements could be made, so I replied and highlighted the two issues I mentioned earlier in this thread. Fair do's he responded quickly with a comprehensive reply. He said I was not the only person who had raised those issues and would look into them. Apparently he's already been talking to people on the slope; which is something I have never seen the management there do before. Fingers crossed he delivers, but it's a positive start.

@userscott, checking their website I see that the requirement for users to wear a mask indoors (more particularly on the slope) has now thankfully been removed. That is very welcome, as on a previous visit when mask wearing was mandatory on the slope I found that being a spectacle wearer I had no end of problems with my spectacles fogging up!

Re Thu 16th Sept am/pm: (edit: not Oct. Note to self: in future mustn’t post after having had a couple of Tamnavulins.)
If any of you Chillfactore regulars/irregulars are there that day, there’s the chance you may see some sHs from dahn Sarf who’re on a day trip from Hemel.
It’s not completely confirmed, but there’s a planned trip from a small and select group: pretty sure it’ll happen.
We could be there on the slope, if all goes well, 10:30.
The idea is to do a couple of hours a.m., lunch, then a couple of hours p.m. and bus back.
Me, I’d like the chance to slide with other sHs from up Norf, if possible.
I for one will be sporting the snowHeads insignia.
Please.

We are indeed honoured, that you have seen fit to grace us humble northlings with your esteemed presence.
Got the heads up a couple of days ago from @GeePee, so booked it up. I’ll see you there. @audfart and @neens will also be there, as will @geepee.
We are booked there for four hours from 11.00. Really looking forward to meeting you guys and playing around in the moguls.

We are praying for your moguls, which we skiers all envy dahn Sarf.
Only yesterday at Hemel, someone I spoke to was almost crying when he remembered the last time he saw a mogul there. 
Please, PLEASE, let there be moguls.
The Southerners just don’t seem to get it.
You are blessed.
It’s all box/rail/rattly-pipe-thing boarder jumpy-cork-stuff down here.

@Seahoob, Yes, it’s the 16th September.

You’re all quite right; of course it’s September! Aargh!  (Now edited in that post above.)
....
To excuse myself some more, myself I’ve never seen a mogul at Hemel even in October, even on a Thursday?
But then again I’ve only been going there recently, and I’ve never gone in November.
I spoke to another member at Hemel about it today. He said they had done them occasionally, but they were rubbish so people didn’t like them, and they became infrequent then stopped. Just hearsay.

Moguls at Chillfactor have been quite good, they make a difference from just going up and down

The moguls in the CFe are "ok" as a change/ a bit of fun; but I find them unrealistic, in that they are all perfectly round/conical in shape and packed too close together. Having said that, they are far better than corduroy.

Play the game, it's man made moguls in a fridge in Trafford Park! They can be perfectly round all they wish! I've lived in towns where the local ski slope is made from Snowflex...............

Had a good day in the CFe yesterday, meeting with some of the Hemel Snowheads.
Only downer was it took just over 5.5 hours to get home to Llandudno. It took 4.5 hours just to get to Runcorn, because of road works on the M56. Needless to say there was no actual work going on and not one workman visible. Grrr

Hemel Meets Manchester in a fridge. Great to meet up with you all after our long journey up there. We will be back on October 14th so see you then.
