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 :-)

Warren Miller ponders the realities of 99 feet of snow
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

The legendary ski movie maker and screenwriter relates some tales of mega snowfalls in this quick and funny article:

Warren’s World: Ninety-Nine Feet of Snow

Quote:
A few years ago, Mount Baker had a record 99 feet of snowfall. In May the snow banks in the parking lot were still 35 feet high ... What if a resort such as Vail got the same 99 feet of snow? ... No ski lifts could run because the snow would be 60-feet deep over the top of the bull wheels.


In contrast, he says of current prospects:

Quote:
After watching this annual phenomenon happen for the last 71 years, the chances of skiing before Dec. 15 anywhere below 9,000 feet are less than 25 percent at any ski resort that doesn’t have a lot of artificial snowmaking machines.


Clearly he should be in the Alps right now.

So this is the one year in 4. That doesn't negate his point.

And he probably is in the alps right now Razz

I keep getting these emails "Would you like to extend the length of your avalanche cord?" But you're right, Swiller, it's time to stop binning them.
