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 :-)

When people on here hire a guide, how much do they tip?
And what about Taxis - both around the resort and if quoted a few hundred over the phone for a booked taxi to go to and from the resort and airport?
Or do some people not tip?
(sorry, I duplicated this thread - now deleted. But while I'm on here - this website seems to be running very slow - are others finding this?)

Many people in resorts are working for next to nothing, chalet staff on £60 a week and the instructor looking after your children in Switzerland on just enough to cover rent probably deserve a tip if the job is well done, the guide will be on 300 euro a day and the taxi driver much the same if self employed probably don't need it.
Bottom line its up to the individual if exceptional service is delivered I would most likely still tip.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

About £20 a day.

I tend to buy them a beer and/or lunch..........
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I always say "don't eat yellow snow." A good tip, that.
But seriously, a beer for a one-off route, lunch if all day.
