 Poster: A snowHead

Inspired by Mark Hunter's thread.
When staying in Crest Voland in 2002 we were teamed up with another young pair of students for the quiz in Les Bartivelles. On the music round they played the theme tune to Minder. The bloke insisted it was the theme tune to Blossom!!! We out voted him an got it correct, however he insisted in was the theme tune to Blossom.

laundryman,
Yeah, cyclists are mental, especially the ones who want to cycle the North Coast of Ireland in March

I met a bloke who insisted his kids skied without socks.

My worry would be that he had actually heard of Blossom and why would he have watched it anyway judging from the youtube clip.

JP,
We thought that too. I know it may seem a bit random, but the guy went on about it all night and insisted everyone else in the bar was wrong. He wasn't even drunk.

Christopher, I don't know. It might have been a punishment for forgetting socks or maybe the boots were too small. Anyway, he was in a foul mood and I didn't want to get involved or even stick around in the hotel boot room.

laundryman, Christopher, I was sold a (fantastically uncomfortable) pair of boots by a bloke in Banff who reckoned he skied without socks, and had to oil his feet to get them into his boots (I should have read the warning signs, shouldn't I?). If I see him again, he'll be wanting to oil my boots, as I shall shove them up his bottom.
In case you're worrying, I replaced them with a comfy pair.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

My favourite nutter was a Dutch guy called Henk who spent the whole time in the hotel chatting up the hotel staff, generally making friends with the guests... but never actually skiing despite always being dressed in his ski gear.... maybe he didn't like snow?

I've met a few nutters, but hardly surprising as I bring my own nutter along with me...........

You know it makes sense.

One consolation is that you could ski all season knowing that at least you will not meet DG in the mountains.

I think the guy I saw skiing Abricotine in PDS the other week with a baby in a back-pack must have been a nutter. The poor little thing's head was shaking about all over the place and I hate to think what would have happened if somebody had crashed into them

johnboy, most of the nutters I meet on skiing holidays tend to be in the same party as me

ecsleath, We saw exactly the same thing in Sunshine a couple of weeks ago!! We didn't think it was that good an idea either.

on my last skiing trip we stayed just outside Bourg d'Oisans and there was a guy there who cycled up to Alpe d'Huez (ie the well known stage of the Tour de France) every morning, skied all day, then cycled back down. definitely nutter tendencies but other than this he was a very nice bloke

Arno,
That's nuts. Maybe he just wanted to maximise his vertical?

Nutter is a synonym for loser.
