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 :-)

Summer ISIA training in a fridge

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
If we could source a BASI Trainer (which I think I can), would anyone be up for a couple of weekend training sessions in a fridge over the summer / autumn?

One option might be approach PSG at Hemel.

Alternatively, I know a trainer who might be willing to run something at Tamworth. (Not ideal for me, but a heck of a lot easier to get to than a glacier.)

Thoughts?

beanie1 - you never know what people might be prepared to do unless you ask and all that.

(I've already dropped PSG a note to ask.)

One way of keeping the cost down would be to make it less than 100% contact time. Something with 3 hours input over the day with practise time in between would help with costs. It does rather assume that the trainer could do other stuff in between, but that would probably be less of an issue with PSG.

beanie1 - would you be interested if the price was right? (And what would be the right price?)

FlyingStantoni, potentially. Unfortunately however I've recently become a victim of the credit crunch and am about to be made redundant Sad

So i guess it depends on if I've managed to find a job by then! If I haven't then I don't expect to still be in this country...

Sad indeed. Very sorry to hear that. Though an excellent excuse to get Scott, Rob and I to buy your beers wink

Just to say that PSG has responded in what must be a new land-speed record and said he'd potentially be interested. I've said that I'll see if we can raise a group.

I'd be interested, although would be more keen on getting an Adaptive group together to work towards 2nd discipline.

beanie1, sorry to hear that Sad

In his note PSG said he was meeting someone from Diability Snowsports UK today. I can't imagine that he'll have anything to feed back immediately, but it's good to know that something's in progress.

FlyingStantoni, I'd be up for that in principle - obviously depending on dates. The feedback was I need a bit of tech work before I'm ready to do the L2 coach course, so anything heading that way that would be good. Not keen on the Tamworth option, but Hemel sounds good.

i am interested in gates training, Glen did say he would run a special group if it was a fairly regular timeslot and he has some forewarning... not too interested in general training indoors though...

Anyone know if Hemel are contemplating doing lower level BASI courses split over weekends? Kinda interested but don't really want to take a week off.

fatbob, i think other indoor slopes do it that way so i don't see why Hemel wouldn't?

FlyingStantoni, Would the trainer be able to revalidate existing ISIAs at the same time ?

ski, as I understand it doing any BASI course counts as refreshing.

Definitely might be interested depending on dates - planning on doing the L2 in Hintertux (I think PSG might be doing one of the groups) from the 27th July to 7th August. Thereafter planning on getting up to Scotland for a couple of weeks but not back in work until Thursday the 3rd September, so have time that I could allocate to training.
