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 :-)

It seems not everyone who gets caught in an avalanche is a hardcore and hedonistic skier or snow boarder -

Very sad.

It looks, however - given where they were - that they were hardcore if not hedonistic snowshoe-ers. Still very sad.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

There was an exceptionally stupid paragraph about Snowshoeing in the "Where to Ski and Snowboard" guide, a few years ago. It said something about snowshoeing being a current "fad" in some French resorts and that there were no particular skill or safety issues involved. They seemed to assume that people just plodded round pistes. I was so incensed by this mindless nonsense that I actually wrote to them about it and pointed out that snowshoeing raised just as many issues about experience and safety as any other means of getting around the mountains in the snow. Because snowshoes enable you to move much further and faster through deep snow (than just wearing hiking boots) they are more likely to get people into trouble.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

and what motive, other than pleasure, would drive anyone to walk up a snowy mountain?
