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 :-)

How many radios have you lost?

For me, it's two so far. I hook them onto my rucksack straps, and forget to check that they're still there. One lost on the OK piste the December before last, and one dropped in the Funitel at the EoSB.

Am I the only snowHead who regularly loses pieces of equipment?

None, in a lifetime of owning radios, but I once bought 11 televisions for £15 in a bankruptcy auction.
Unfortunately none of them worked (I discovered that the firm that had gone bust was a TV repair shop)

Snowboard binding bolts are the easiest kit to lose.

Always see some poor unfortunate on a powder day digging for a ski under the lift on multiple laps every year.

Had I remembered to take the radios, then undoubtably I would have lost one.

I can't understand why people always seem to drop stuff on chairlifts. There must be a lot of chairlift faffers out there.

Umbrellas are the most often lost item for Londoners.

Never buy an expensive one. It will probably get lost before you break it (apart from those £1.99 jobs you get from Wilkinson)

One, on the edge of the South East crater at Mt Etna. It was a really expensive commerical Motorola jobbie, and I was made to climb back up to the crater to get it. The only problem was the crater had exploded while I was standing at the edge, causing me to run away in fear (which is when I lost the radio in the first place). I thought it was very mean of my PhD supervisor to make me climb back up to retrieve the damn thing! Now I don't carry radios - I'd rather be out of communication than haul around a bit of kit I can lose.

Two Motorolas, one Cobra, several Brikos, several Reuschs, one Marmot, though I suspect the jacket and sunnies had help.

Having a background in skydiving and paragliding (where it's a very bad idea to drop things) I always have a short lanyard (strap or bit of string) attached to my radio and other gadgets. This is easy to tie to a strap on my backpack so if the radio gets unclipped It remains attached. It's amazing how many times things get unclipped for no apparent reason on the way down a mountain. wink

I usually lose at least one hat. I lost two at the Eosb, and one day in la plagne I actually managed to lose 3 in one day!

Oh dear - we lost Ayesha (9) in Val Thorens - that was a 'fun' afternoon rolling eyes

Her Mum was riding all over the place behind a Patroller on a skidoo, Gregory was accusing me of "not looking hard enough for his sister" rolling eyes
I said that she'd just go home but no-one thought she'd be able to find her way.
Poor thing spent well over an hour sat on our apartment steps waiting for us.

Maybe kids should have radios, or be remote-controlled by radios. The problem is lost radios, though, apparently!

Yes, she sounds well capable of looking after wandering adults on mountains.
