Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Managed it occasionally in Scotland, have to book holidays at work far in advance so no chance for abroad. Do often make up my mind where to go according to snow conditions but not really storm chasing.

Have storm chased in BC - highly recommended as long as you don't mind driving Roger's Pass in the dark in a whiteout, not minding the fact that the plough in front is doing 20mph as when he turns in you're on your own

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Sort of done it back in'92. Had a great week in St Anton, went home - saw the snow reports, booked flights and b&b, an was back a week after I left. We had a great dump - and when the lifts opened it was party time. Don't think I have ever done such a short-notice ski holiday since.

There have been times when I have looked outside, seen that it has snowed, had my breakfast early then made my way to the lift before it opened. Does that count as storm chasing?

Its a big reason why we wanted to ski out of our campervan - go where there's snow!

In the mid eighties I was living and working in Christchrch with Mt Hutt about 1 1/2 hours drive away. On more than 1 occasion I would wait for a storm to go through and on the first clear day get on the phone, then in my finest pathetic voice call in sick. My brother and I would then head up the hill, more like the- day-after-the-storm-chasing I guess. The flip side was I had to avoid goggle marks and had to turn up to work when I was genuinely ill - a small price.
