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 :-)

Where to keep your sandwiches when you go skiing.

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
If you rely on taking sandwiches with you when you go out skiing there's the question of where to put them. If you have a backpack you can put them there, although sitting on a chairlift might cause them to get a bit squashed.

One female skier in Colorado came up with the unconventional solution of taping the sandwiches to the top of her ski helmet. Shocked Laughing

I must admit that shows a nice bit of lateral thinking, the sandwiches will be kept fresh and unsquished (unless she has a fall, in which case the sandwiches provide some extra cushioning Madeye-Smiley )

Brilliant! All sorts of things could be taped to the top of a helmet which is very unlikely to suffer a direct hit.

I can't help thinking that the structural integrity of a sandwich taped to a helmet would be improved by using a baguette rather than sliced bread.

Or you'd look like you've visited a seaside town and bought a novelty hat popular in the late 80s.

A full size baguette would negate the need for a pole click. Just prod them from a safe distance to alert them that you are coming through.

On a slightly more serious/information note, do Herring gulls stay around in the north countries in winter?

tying in nicely to Tim Warwoods classic "Riding switch is like writing left-handed while wearing a chip hat and being attacked by seagulls" quote... Maybe the sandwich helmet is a training aide after all.

Well as the original photo was taken in Colorado which is quite some distance from the sea I doubt that the skier whose idea it was would have been bothered by herring gulls; that's not to say that other locations e.g. Norway or Scotland would necessarily be herring gull free zones. Toofy Grin

Herring Gulls pah! Anyone who has been to Whistler will have seen the signs warning about the Whiskey Jacks that steal food off the plates. I've seen one make off with a kid's burger when the boy came out of the cafeteria, put his tray down and momentarily looked away. These birds are also known as "Camp Robber Jays" for the same reason.

Seen that in Whistler. They actually take the food off people’s hands!

I was stuck at the lift line at 7-Haven for a good 20 minutes once. Watching Whiskey Jacks diving for people’s sandwiches was entertaining. But it deterred me from taking my own out of my pack. (ok, I admit I was more distracted rather than deterred) Embarassed

But if you fixed it to your helmet with a 6” nail, then it could provide uplift (or down lift.. depending on how you layered your baloney) just by the act of spinning. Win,win
