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 :-)

....playing largely trash europop at high volume

What's that all about?

Seems a worrying trend amongst the 'yoof'. Worse still, they can't hear it when that are moving and the only people who can, don't want to!

Is it that cool?

Such behaviour is the sign of a true weapon.

Especially in a world where earbuds with pass-through of ambient sounds exist, so the excuse of needing to hear your surroundings whilst listening to music is moot.

I'm not overly fussed tbh. If I am waiting in a lift queue having a tune playing is no bad thing and on the slopes it's only going to be brief.

At the minute it doesn't seem to be an out of control thing. It's not something I would do personally.

@Layne, Not a problem in a lift queue until you experience the joy of more than 1 person with a speaker blasting out different genres, completely out of time with each other Razz

I find these loudspeakers to be helpful. The quieter the music becomes the more certain I am that I am further away from people likely to be a physical threat to people around them. Handy.

Why not? Don't come across them very often and I agree with @Layne,

As an aside, I came across a guy with one in his rucksack that he was using so that his blind son could follow him/the music down the piste. Now that's cool I thought! His choice of music wasn't but it would have churlish of me to complain I think!

Wait till it hits TokTik, then they'll be everywhere

Personally, there's nothing quite like cruising a tree lined run on a bluebird day, stopping to take it all in when some 'yoof' stops next to you playing agadoo or whatever the kool kidz are into these days Very Happy

If they're listening to europop, they're suffering. Consider it a mercy killing.

We encountered it in Gerardmer the other week. Several times. Of course, the culprit was looking around desperately for attention.

He then fell off the button lift.

"agadoo" - showing your age there! For me, such an incident is very rare at this point, so I am not overly concerned.

@garfy1971, Tool up. Get mega speakers in your own back pack with a CD of Eurovision greatest hits and threaten to retaliate. Bit like cold war style mutual assured destruction. They'll soon go away.

Agadoo isn’t in the hit parade anymore? Next you’ll be saying that Bros have split up!

The TikTok thing is usually when something starts to ‘trend’ or an ‘influencer’ is seen doing it. Then everyone will be at it!

P.S Bansko wasn’t my choice but is now definitely top of my list of resorts….never to go back to Very Happy Very Happy

Well sure but what are you expecting to be "trend". Most sheeple don't even ski. I think the idea of skiing with a speaker blaring out music becoming a thing is pretty unlikely.

I had to endure loud Jesus rock in a lift line last season. May have accidentally stepped on the back of the speaker wearer's binding and accidentally released his ski as he was getting on the lift. Didn't get struck by lightning or eaten by locusts thankfully.

A few years ago the youth in our group had a speaker with them. I was somewhat embarrassed by it, but the resort was very quiet, and the music was actually OK. However, we are skiing with them at the moment, and the speaker was very much vetoed by us oldies!

Had it on a chair today in Tignes.... every time it happens to me I think to myself "Must bring a chuffing big speaker of my own next time and carry it in my rucksack and when this happens next time I can turn mine on and drown them out with a really really embarrassingly bad song.... that'll teach em"

I was sitting on a chairlift at Champagny when the youth next to me was playing Scarlatti piano works on his speaker . Thoroughly enhanced the afternoon and we had a lovely chat ! I would have followed him around for the music but he would have thought me weird .

There’s quite a lot in Tignes this week as the demographic has moved from families to lads trips.

The lady I was skiing with today turned to one and asked him if he couldn’t afford earbuds.

Me, I’m onto a mate who was heavily into Electronic Warfare to build be a Bluetooth jammer.

Sure but the comment was "inflicting your choice of music on others is plain rude." - which suggests the playing of any music to anyone would be rude. I mean what does under do if he goes into a bar and then the bar keep suddenly decides to put some music on? Does he find a rude that they sometimes play music at the lift station? As anyone told him a bit the Folies Shocked Shocked

Must admit I think if you are sharing a chairlift with someone you should ask.
