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 :-)

DaveC, it is - the JD and big yellow saucer kind of gives it away. It is also in the link below.

Pretty low associating him with this kind of drivel. I'm guessing also that someone else - very likely MSP - owns the image.

Bode Swiller, No photoshopping involved - JD is a fundamental part of the Saucerboy character.

I was going the point that out originally as simply lazy subbing but as the author comes across as a spoilt little something with an unhealthy interest in sauna etiquette then I'm not sure it was written with a Pullitzer Prize in mind.

I am surprised we have not had a relative or teenage acolyte posting yet to tell us how misunderstood the author is, and how we are not worthy to criticise eminient ski journalists... wink

I'm not keen on Downhill.

I much prefer Slalom or GS.

I am Outraged that they would use Saucer Boy when belting drunk Russians!! Didnt even read the article I was so angry! I would use him to mock the ESF or those few tools who bought 50,000 Euro skis or skis balancing wood from different hemispheres!! wink

Photoshop... how dare you.. that's all JD baby (or at least ginger beer in a JD bottle)

maggi, N'ah not racism that's fear and i'm on your team.

maggi, surely that's ski race-ism.

And what about fat skiers - they take up too much room, displace too much snow when they turn (but at least are soft to land on which is important because they can't get out of the way). And we shouldn't ignore that other vile ethnic group. You know, those who sit lined-up in the middle of the piste (just over the crest) with their funny baggy gear and tongue studs... and their boards. I quite like the way the Iranians do skiing with segregated male and female pistes and, of course, no gays. People who wear Fat Face gear in the evenings... I hate them too. People who say they are "stoked" need shooting on sight and why not line up low-cost airline freaks who still complain about extras. We're all different eh?

i just learned a whole load of stuff i never knew about sauna etiquette

otherwise that article was risible. it would have come across as a terrible piece of writing if someone had posted it in the Apres zone on here

That's an awful article - was it written by the Daily Mail?

Well, I e-mailed this chap and told him I wasn't impressed with his verbiage, and I also got a reply. Here's my e-mail:

"That has to be one of the most ridiculous pieces of tosh I’ve had the misfortune to read in a long time. A few of my ‘encounters with the easterners’:

- couple from Moscow buying lift tickets, thanked me for speaking English (more than any of my British customers ever do)
- two Russian blokes speaking neither French nor English, fits of laughter all round as we tried to mime the concept of ‘insurance’ to them
- man with son of about 10, boy speaking perfect French, very polite and full of please and thank-you
- jolly chap in silly hat, also grateful for information in English

This sort of rubbish is all very well if it’s witty and tongue in cheek, but your piece was merely the rather turgid rant of a grumpy bigot. Given the behaviour of a substantial number of Brits in resort, you might wish to attend to the beam in your own eye before getting all snotty about the mote in your neighbour’s."

And here is his reply:

"Thanks for this and we will surprise u by printing this. Can we have an address pse.? And u are right about one thing - it should have been more tongue in cheek, but it was given to a very serious reporter todo."

Literate, hey? What sort of serious journalist replies to his e-mails in text-speak? I won't start on the rather pathetic excuse.

At least he's printing it. It's about all we could expect. A grovelling apology was never likely!
