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 :-)

Do I need this. Had nearly 4 weeks on 3 trips this year and I still want to do Easter. My one week a year skier wife just doesn't get it and thinks I am being unreasonable. I even booked a week in the sun for us last weekend after being ganged up on by friends, who were taking sides with the missus. I hoped by booking the sun holiday, she would go soft and let me go at Easter, but no. Still working on it though

queen bodecia, Thats the worst bit, knowing the ski gear is redundant for another year. I keep looking at the snow reports and the live webcams......... Even went to Snow and Rocks sale on Friday in the hope of finding a new ski jacket to also put away for another yr. Unfortunatly not got a spare few hundred quid for their designer offerings! Is this normal behaviour? Maybe I should be out planting bulbs or something Sad

OK, I've hit major post-ski depression today. Two weeks since I got back, 49 weeks until I go again. Can't stop looking at ski websites but in essence that's just prolonging the agony...

It's not like I have any money so I can't go shopping to cure my depression. I'm also not a drinker so I can't hit the bottle either...

Sobs...

Managed 2 trips in 2007 and 3 in 2008, but down to just the one this year unless things take a turn for the better. Trouble is with a non-skiing (still working on that one) spouse, I do rather feel bad both about spending the money and about taking off on my own (though I can't say I spent overlong dwelling on it while I was there Embarassed).

Guys, why wait a year?

Look, you can't improve significantly if you just ski one week a year so unless finances absolutely preclude get yourselves over to the Alps for a weekend before the end of the season - Mountainsun have some amazing long weekend offers as I'm sure do other operators. There's also still sliding available in Scotland (so no nasty Euro exchange rates to deal with and great apres ski currys to be had!), there are great pics coming out from there today after the latest dump. Failing that get yourselves down to your local dry slope or dome, I know it's a bit like methadone to an addict but at least it'll keep you in practice and keep those sliding muscles in trim for next years trip to the Alps.

Seriously, where there's a will there's a way and there's no reason to plan a year ahead for any trip (I never have!) - otherwise this thread just smacks of people wallowing in negativity and self-pity and I'm sure you all wouldn't want to be tarred with that brush ... would you? Toofy Grin

Or think of it another way: how much you will appreciate skiing next year after the wait.
If it was Good Things every day, they would loose their attraction.
Christmas every day, anyone?

And you certainly wouldn't want to be like poor BernardC, forced to go skiing every day for the whole season. Toofy Grin

True but can you guarantee the weather at the right time? And it takes a silly amount of time to get there even from here, half way up the country and it isn't cheap either.

Did Chill last week as I only had 4 days work - it felt so claustrophobic in there! Then I realised what the day had cost & that I'd be better served putting the dough aside towards the real thing.
