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 :-)

I see lots of snowheads wandering around aimlessly staring at electronic devices, sounds like mobile phones at the ski show rather than an avi practice session Toofy Grin

Hurtle, just discussing this with Rob and will advise... Slope access from 3-8

fatbob, we will doing some (could be all depending on the weather) of the transceiver practice on snow so if you want to play you will need a slope pass to join in the festivities snowHead

James from Anatom the transceiver distributor will be there around 5:30 so...

3-4 free skiing
4-6 open coaching from rob and i, video on the hill if you fancy it...etc
6-8 transceiver practice
8 onwards drinks

all the transceiver work can be on slope as tim has done some testing and the range inside the metal box of the building seems okay. should be fun !!!

fatbob,why ski in the am when its busy and then have to hang around, this session has always been scheduled to start at 3 Puzzled

why dont you just come along and have a play with the different transceivers and chat to james when he pitches up? not sure what a one hour pass would cost but shouldn't be too much and doing it on snow would be more realistic we thought... plus might get to see the latest avi backpacks in action. !!

Many thanks to livetoski for assembling a selection of the current avalanche transceivers for us to play with last night (and for detonating a Snowpulse bag in the bar afterwards - that caused a bit of a stir, just wish I'd got my camera out for that one!). Some photos from the evening (with more here):

It was great - many thanks to all. I now know not to get a transceiver which I could only read by first removing my contact lenses at the scene of the avalanche. Shocked

livetoski, big big thanks for bringing along all the gear, although most if not all people hadnt used a transceiver before all seemed to really get into it and learned a bit..

I to admit the multiple burial was interesting with one transceiver giving all kinda weird readings being next to a metal column and the other people in the group goign into search or transmit fairly randomly Laughing
