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 :-)

Non EDC

reading the very entertaining post over on 'the piste' wondered what stuff would not be on the 'EDC' Smile. Things that you don' t find on the standard lists but find yourself using all the time?

Things that i have come across recently are;

Adralite - two part epoxy - used for repairing large dent in the top deck of my board - not looking at anyone in particular
edge gasket - use it on the nose and tail of the board when traveling to stop the edges cutting through the bag (again)

Lizzard, god no - stuff that you would never carry around the mountain - the essential non essential ski stuff. Speaking of 'old fart skiers', closest i ever came to piste side repair is using a lighter to remove a large sliver of plastic from the underside of a ski. (not mine - just to make that clear Smile )

edmundf, every day carry ? if you are going off piste fair enough, but what could you possibly want to carry? a tool for my bindings (because I am messing about with them) and a Mars bar.

I am not sure if anything that you use all the time can be described as not being on the standard lists Puzzled I assume you must mean something that you use each holiday perhaps but would not pack each day when you go out to board?

hang on, this is getting too ski like for me, I refuse to participate anymore Laughing

THATS SOOO ANAL, most of 'em never leave the piste, and coming down the slopes is hardly a marathon is it ?. Also noticed a topic about " snow plough in difficult off piste conditions" WHY? If you feel you have to snowplough maybe you shouldnt be off piste ??? Shocked

DebbiDoesSnow, you should read the topic, before commenting. rolling eyes

As for me, I don't leave home without a hip flask of port. Just something to warm me up when stuck behind some person who believes the offramp of a chairlift is where to stop and do up their bindings... Laughing

DebbiDoesSnow, the tiltle is a bit misleading - it had not snowed for two weeks and was not powder and the debate rages as to whether it is actually even a snow plough, more like a stem turn but possibly a jumped stem turn or a turn with one ski in the air or some other variation yet to be agreed Laughing the technicalties of skiing never ceases to amaze me and at times I do have sympathy for a skier fighting through all these terms and definitions

rayscoops, I did read the whole topic, but was just being 'facetious'. A term that applies to many a snowheads post.

Unfortunately without the winky smiley it caused offence to a member of the skiing community, for which I am deeply sorry, as we all know they never have a pop at us boarders and I have overstepped the mark ....... I have set myself 100 lines as punishment Twisted Evil

My rules are:
1. Doesn't freeze when I'm carrying it.
2. Warms me up, not cools me down, even though it's cold (Port is really good for this)
3. Has a bit of flavour, not just a kick.
4. Best served on snow, not on ice. Wink

... next year we're going to do 1 flask of port and 1 of rum - we can add the rum to hot chocolate when we have a break.
