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 :-)

First:

Borovets, Bulgaria, Christmas 1997. We thought snowboarding would be cool. It wasn't, it hurt. A lot. And that was when we finally had snow, as the resort was green except for a couple of pistes on top of the mountain, and when the snow did arrive every snowboard in town was snaffled, including the ones we'd paid for. I learnt my lesson and have skiied ever since.

Last:


First try at skinning, quick tour from the Ptarmigan building to the weather station on top of Cairngorm then back down the headwall. Given me quite a taste. Monday May 3rd, 2010.

Cor you and your photos Mr skimottaret Wink

First one (as posted on the other thread):



Here's a nearly last one, it's from February but I think I do have some more recent ones but I haven't sorted them out yet ... Anyway, Cairngorm summit with my daughter (10, behind the camera) just before we skied off piste back down to the ski area and then took a run of a few km down to the lower car park in Coire na Ciste - a truly awesome day and one she won't forget in a hurry (or so she told me lol) and nor will I!



Here she is around 3/4 km further down the run Very Happy :



That's at the end of the Feb half term - crowded huh Wink Laughing

That was a day off but just to just to prove it's not all glamerous (like it always is for the guys at Inside Out Skiing Wink ), fancy doing this on a sun drenched powder day (I'm the one with no skis on)?



Actually that was a great day, great group of kids, but instructing isn't all glamerous and ski, ski, ski - you've gotta enjoy teaching the clients and forgoing your own skiing sometimes!

Mind you (don't think I'm in this shot although I did do the odd run like that myself, when time allowed Laughing snowHead ):

BTW, I now have a new helmet, hate the one in those shots but it was cheap and (being Scottish) I had to get my moneys worth out of it last season rolling eyes

Aye, not bad eh snowHead

There were quite a few days like that last season at Cairngorm. The most frustrating (for me) was one when I was 'stuck' below the White Lady with a group of very nervous adult beginners whilst I could hear the excited whoops of people descending the Lady in powder half way up to their shoulders (I could see them too worst luck Wink ). Was so tired at the end of the day that I didn't bother heading up for a run myself ... 'tis a hard job but somebody's gotta do it Laughing
