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 :-)

Dad's phot album(2) 1927/8 ski & ?

 Poster: A snowHead

An even earlier page from my father's photo album from a ski holiday in Switzerland (Gsleig (?) it says) in 1927/8. But bottom right, what is that between the sleds? . Looks like a ski bike! I tried one as the Newest Thing in 1962, I think. And then it was the Newest Thing again a couple of years ago.

snowball, definately a ski bike, all wood construction, I can still remember seeing kids in Wengen using those to get home from school in the mid 1970's

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

But the runner seems a bit narrow for the slopes. OK if the piste is hard, but the one I tried had a short ski front and back, and you could add another a little over a foot long on each foot. Extremely easy to use and fun for an afternoon.

More great photos. Just a thought, is there a skiing archive (SCGB?) that might be interested in copies of these photos?

snowball, More modern versions use a short ski, but the early versions seems to have mainly been used to go down snow covered roads and tracks, as such they could get away with a very narrow runner (that said I have seen them used on pistes) they were also used without any skids under the boots where more modern versions have mini skis for the feet

I saw an extraordinary one in the summer. It was an actual bike, complete with mudguards, brakes and a bell & it had 2 little skis attached to the front forks and the bit where the pedals go. Very ingenious.
