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 :-)

Hemel - some questions

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
With Saturday's bash approaching I've some questions which I'm sure all snowheads will want answering too. Are there others that I have missed?

Toofy Grin Helmets - Compulsory for kids and those in red jackets. What is the collective wisdom on helmets for others?

Toofy Grin Toofy Grin Snow Chains - St Albans Hill is very steep. I remember having snow in June back in 1976. Should I bring my chains or would I be better buying winter tyres?

Toofy Grin Toofy Grin Toofy Grin Luggage - I'm planning on bringing 2 pairs of skis, boots and clothes etc. Will I get charged extra for entry?

Toofy Grin Toofy Grin Toofy Grin Toofy Grin Beer Prices - I've heard that beer down south can be as much as £3 a pint, is that true? If so I'll fill the boot of the car with cans.

I forgot to mention, as part of the reduced price slope time everyone has to wear a helmet. Something to do with lower insurance costs on the night, or something.

148 Snowheads and 2 others in a small space: surely special insurance would be necessary even if they weren't skiing.

Will Reps be able to lead any groups into the powder off-piste, or are any UIAGM guides going to be there? The light can sometimes be a little flat Wink. Hemel does have a permanent ice layer under the snow, so does it count as a glacier? Or is that only Tamworth and MK NehNeh ?

(Ah, just remembered gilleski has his additional post-ISTD off-piste qual so we should be OK)

GrahamN, I'm planning a bit of off-piste touring off the side of the 'black' run running round the outside of the building. Needless to say a full TR with several thousand photos will be posted here soon. Only problem is sourcing some grass-skis fitted with touring bindings Smile

I notice that SCGB membership gets you a Hemel membership reduction, though I have not yet discovered if it gets a reduction on skiing and lessons.

Is the SCGB going to have a rep here, or has the resort banned them after Shenanigate? How soon till the Ski Club is attacked for their Hemel off-piste policy.

Hurtle, I was at a meeting last week when a bloke got us all a pearler. The meeting was to do with a course being run by coaches at our rugby club for kids with behavioral problems. We have got funding to see if playing rugby can help kids with such issues. One coach works for the council in this field and used to be a history teacher and he told us about one lad that kept shouting out words such as KEEP, PORTCULLIS, PARAPET,....left a pause and then said......we think he had Turret Syndrome. rolling eyes rolling eyes rolling eyes
