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 :-)

Free Flights for Naked Skiers in London

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Scarpa Shows off his latest Fancy underwear. What a large Boing you have Mr. Scarpa.
Free Ryanair ski flights will be given to skiers who turn up at Finches Ski Emporium in Forest Hill, South London in their underwear tomorrow (Friday). What’s more, the person in the most outrageous underwear will go home fully clothed in top-of-the-range ski wear and with a brand new set of skis...

Tomorrow, Friday 7 September, Ryanair, will be unveiling its latest perk to Winter sports lovers.

If they book a breakaway by 30 September 2007, they can fly their skis and boards FOR FREE!

Ryanair is encouraging Londoners to free themselves of their inhibitions...so the airline will be handing out free* flights to the first 50 people who come to Finches Ski Emporium in London...IN THEIR UNDERWEAR!!

The first 50 people who turn up wearing just their underwear (or less!) will receive a free* flight to one of Ryanair’s 61 ski routes from the UK this Winter. And of course, their skis will be carried for free.

So take off your clothes so you can take off for the slopes!

* Taxes and Charges apply. Terms and Conditions apply. 

DATE                Friday 7 September
TIME                 12.30pm
PLACE              Finches Ski Emporium, 25 - 29 Perry Vale, Forest Hill,
London SE23 2NE

Be sure to come along if you can - you won't find a cheaper way of getting to Grenoble, Friedrichshafen, Salzburg or Turin!

And don't forget, your skis or board travel free with Ryanair for all bookings this month.

Yes they are not available over christmas and new year or holiday periods - details are in the small print on their website.

and as I mentioned in the ryanair thread I don't like Ryanairs diseneguous pricing policy - when i was looking for flights from scotland to go skiing in the dolomites I assumed the price the web was quoying was inc taxes etc. (but ex ski bags, bags etc) it wasn't. I had to go further through the booking process before taxes etc. appeared in the price. We aren't fying Ryanair!

Thanks, why am I not surprised?

It would be good if we are going to get Ryanair people spamming us that they would at least have the decency to hang around and answer factual questions...

Actually this is Ryanair marketing their new charges for wearing clothes whilst flying with them.
All customers wearing clothes will now be charged £5 each flight, this is due to extra weight in ski jackets, fleeces and heavy boots, which skiers take with them.

Refer to condition 7.6.8a.c. in their terms and conditions

Another interesting point to note - Ryanair will take your kit for free but in the T&Cs aren't actually guaranteeing to carry the skis on the same flight...
