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 :-)

Well the first pictures have started to come in. This is on the bottom section of Campagnol off Mont Vallon in Meribel.

I think visibilty was the cause...we weren't speeding officer.... we just didn't spot the jump, it was an optical illusion

rob@rar, There were 12 of us skiing and we had 7 down, 2 had skied off at that stage as we were invisible from above. I will post the video soon, but it really is quite funny. It was a bit of an optical illusion and we were really flying dowm the piste as we thought we needed to keep speed up for a flat section. What we failed to spot was this ruddy great hill Embarassed

skid & slide, having seen both boarders in the group perform their boarding skills, I very much doubt it.

pam w, I don't remember it from when I skied that run last week, but in the photo it looks like a big bolster across the width of the piste, before it flattens out. Jolly glad I didn't fly off it!

Hurtle, must just be me being blind - I can't see anything worthy of causing quite such carnage! Did everyone fall independently or did people take other people out?

i was there week before last and i know the bit you're talking about. it's not a mad jump it's just kind of a big dipper - i hit it on my board and was definitely surprised at the distance travelled in the air. wish i'd seen the epic crash, from the photo it looks like it was carnage.

I had a moment there myself last week, but being generally wussy, I wasn't coming in that fast. There's lots of lateral bumps and most of them are fairly harmless - it's the last one in a sequence of several, and you get into a sense of them all being the same - the last one is just big and has a steeper drop off than the others

I'm confused at the picture. Which direction is the piste headed? Bottom to top or top to bottom?

Frosty the Snowman, This is where Anarchicsaltire skied infront of me, just as we went over it. It's obviously an accident hotspot, I think we landed near where the photo was taken after rolling for a while.

You would get quite a bit of speed off it if you decided to straight line it Toofy Grin .
