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 :-)

snowHead down-Update

 Poster: A snowHead

Unfortunately yesterday JulesB was injured in an accident on the piste in Serre Chevalier and broke his neck.

He managed to ski down the piste after the accident, and then drive from the resort doctors to the hospital in Briancon. Shocked

He was transferred from the local hospital in Briancon to the local neurosurgical specialist centre in Grenoble where he had an operation to fix it today. He's now back on the ward, and apparently the early signs are good, he was complaining that they weren't giving him enough drugs.

I'm sure all our thoughts go out to him, Helen and his sons and wish him a speedy recovery.

Just thought that everyone who knows them would probably want to know.

Kramer you may be a doctor but most of us aren't - what is a displaced fracture to a C6 vertebra when it's at home?
Sounds like a broken back or neck to me without looking it up.... Skullie

Get well soon JulesB. Hope all works out well and you're back skiing soon.

I've spent a night in Briancon hospital after falling down the stairs in the Underground Bar (gone but not forgotten, I can still trace the scars many years later!). If you got transferred before you got fed then you didn't miss anything. Smile

Glad to hear that the early signs are good - continuing to ski down and then driving to the hospital sounds a bit like the story of goalkeeper Bert Trautman who continued to play on in the FA Cup with a broken neck! Madeye-Smiley

Who is that top UK female competition skier who has fused vertebrae from an earlier broken neck? When competing she carries an x-ray and medical notes in case of future accidents just in case medics confuse the DX.

Indeed. I remember quite clearly how it felt when my daughter broke her back in a Sealed Knot battle re-enactment.

But she has made as full a recovery as possible with two crushed vertebrae, and has born two children since. Her back will never be "right" as muscles have to do some of the work that the spine should be doing, but she can do pretty well everything normally.

I hope the outcome is as good for Jules.
