Mail for help.Help!!

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 guess not then.

Last april I broke my leg on bumps, way after the piste had closed. As everyone skied past me I thought "balls to it, get the helicopter out" Then I realised I had neither (a) the sos number on my phone or (b) any calling credit.
Then a group of doctors from england stopped, explained they were doctors and had a look at it for me. Conclusion was that it was knackered. Managed to board home (how I don't know) and next day found out it was bust.

Just wondered if that group or anyone from it was on here, just offering my thanks if you are, not many other people would have stopped.

And just think of all the odds on it, piste has closed, leg is bust, a group of english speaking doctors stop. Was like a miracle or something Laughing

So how would you summon help in that situation - I see avalanche beacons being discussed - and have experience with offshore survival techniques - would it pay skiers to carry flares, or is this already done?

You dial 112 (international version of 999 - works in Britain too). Calls to the emergency service don't need credit.

Megamum, flares probably not a good idea but a whistle might be useful

and at the risk of sounding sententious, it's much better to be down the hill before the pisteurs have done their final sweep. Most piste maps will have the local rescue phone numbers.

Jeremy at the Sunstar bar may know who they are - he did some guiding for a group of English doctors last season.

Megamum, LED torch and whistle should be mandatory in any and every pack. An LED bicycle rear lamp clipped to the back of your pack weighs a couple of ounces and is ideal for poor visibility situations where people need to follow each other down a hill in mist or crud . . . especially if you've left it late to get back.

But going down before the pistes are closed means you hit the bottlenecks of ski schools going home. I'd rather wait until it's all closed then go home.

Advantage of being a boarder, you're riding a stretcher, lie yourself down on it and off you go Very Happy
seriously though i would only have had to wait until dark and someone would have called me to see where I was. As it happens I always carry an led torch and knee supports, strapped myself up and boarded home, slowly Laughing

stab, give my love to Jeremy (although he wouldn't know me under this nickname - or at all) - he guided me on a medical trip 4-5 years ago which seemed to revolve largely around chicken noises. A really nice bloke, although I believe I remember he collects the top of miniature milk cartons...

Anyway, as regards the help you received - be grateful it wasn't a proctologist who stopped. Toofy Grin
