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 :-)

I appreciate there are always circumstances to consider. A question that often arises as a qualified rescue diver.... am I responsible for the decisions of others or the rescue of others if things go pear shaped in the water due to my qualifications? but surely, an instructor, who was the only person wearing a beacon apparently (and was rescued!) skiing with a party off piste in conditions that, according to the authorities, were too sketchy! Surely, the instructor, whether officially guiding or not had a moral responsibility to ensure a) everyone was suitably equipped and b) that conditions were safe?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I suppose it depends a bit on what prior discussion there had been with the clients. Very sad incident.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Both morally and legally, absolutely yes.

I imagine that this guide will have a tough time ahead trying to avoid a lengthy prison sentence.
