 Poster: A snowHead

Ok so you're on that "Who wants to be a millionaire" and you get a skiing question but are unsure of the answer. You've only got the phone a friend option. What categories might there be and who from Snowheads would you ring (more than one name per category is allowed) ?
Just to start off with a few ....
La Roisere - DavidTrax & Masque
French resorts (exc above), culture, ski racing & translation - PG
Swiss Resorts - ISE
Austrian resorts - Stanton
American resorts - one of our American posters depending on location
Ski Instruction - Easiski, Martin Bell (Graham Bell's brother)
Ski Equipment - WTFH & ????
Ski Safety - Davidof
Injuries - Masque
S&M Restaurants & Transvestite ski clothing - David Goldsmith
any more?

One thing's for sure, "ask the audience" would get divided opinions.
Back to the topic, I'd ask skanky about the weather.

If the question were "who is the only Northern Hemisphere coach to have lifted the Rugby World Cup?", I'd just have to ask Cymru am Byth for the entertainment value.

What a difference a few years makes.
Last time I was driving through Coleraine, a pig said "Excuse me sir, do you know what speed you were doing"

Wear The Fox Hat,
Which leads nicely to a Patrick Keilty joke.
A young man (Mr Hill) was driving at speed down the M2 past Ballymena when a traffic cop stopped him.
As the Cop approached he asked the young fella if he knew what speed he was doing? And that he was booked?
The young fella replied "Do you not know who I am? I'm one of the Hills of Antrim"
The cop replied " I don't give a  if you are one of the Mountains of Mourne, that's 3 penalty points and a £60 fine!!!"

I think it's a little unfair to call the carp a joke. It looks like a reasonable specimen to me.

My specialist subject would be La Clusaz - after three holidays I don't need a map anymore!
And also avalanches - I am very interested in them and am learning as much as I can, I'm thinking about a job in researching natural disasters ect, particularly avalanches.

I'd ring laundryman to answer the inevitable question along the lines of...
"A 100 kgs skier with 2.20m skis sets off down the 1.081 mile long Flying Kilometre piste at Les Arcs. Assume an average 40° gradient throughout. He starts alongside a sperm whale, a well-known slippery Labour politician and a bowl of petunias. Which gets to the bottom first?"
A) The skier
B) The sperm whale
C) A well-known slippery Labour politician
D) The bowl of petunias
