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 :-)

Hemel on the One Show - disabled skiing

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Just happened to see this this evening whilst on the phone - a nice feature of the BBC's blind reporter trying out skiing at Hemel. And fleeting cameo roles for betterinblack and I think Spud9 at the benches! Toofy Grin Must have been filmed yesterday as they did have filming going on. Will try to see if its on iplayer later as I was on the phone and couldn't hear what was being said...

He gave my 14 year old daughter (also blind) her first lesson on snow. He's excellent.

I thought it an excellent report. Nice to see a disabled presenter letting us know how a disabled person thinks about what he is doing. I thought the instructor came across very well, too.

achilles, indeed, Peter White is a decent reporter. I once accompanied him to the top of Mt Etna when he was doing a science news story for R4, it was a fun afternoon and the piece he eventually broadcast was very good.

skimottaret, has a blind client that he regularly teaches at Hemel. Quite a challenge to his teaching skills I think, but the guy seems to be making steady progress and certainly enjoys it. Inspirational.

Yes definately Very Happy We went to Les Gets in February and she had 6 one hour private lessons with an really good instructor from ESF. By the end of the week she was snowploughing down blue runs. I'll book her another lesson with Nick in January then we are off to Les Gets again. This year she will have 6 two hour lessons, again with ESF. It's costing me a fortune but it's worth it to see the smile on her face Toofy Grin

sbirring, i went out with a blind school to Pila last year Dorton house and you may be able to get your daughter on one of their trips. There were quite a few adaptive instructors on the week and we had lots of visually impared students and a few totally blind kids that got on real well.

skimottaret, Thanks for that info. The one trip a year with us is probably enough for her at the moment but I checked out their website and they have a program of summer events as well that I think she would love.
