 Poster: A snowHead
|
Why do ski resorts place fields of tyres out, flat on the ground?
Every year when the snow starts to fall you see see hundreds of them on tennis courts, playgrounds or sometimes it's just on flat areas in the resort centre.
Is it to do with snow retention? To protect the surfaces beneath the snow? Fly tipping? To build up ground to a better height? To create a more stable surface for vehicles?

Once it snows there's generally nothing to see.

@under a new name, As per Rob's picture its a sure indicator that the locals think the first real snow of the winter is inbound in Tignes. They also used to put them on the roof of the Toviere Gondola top station, before they plonked a wooden picnic area on it, so the piste bashers didnt end up in the bubble store
