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 :-)

Yak Skiing
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

From the BBC : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4644933.stm

According to the article, yak skiing is carried out in the Indian hill resort of Manali, where it is run by a Tibetan man, Peter Dorje.
It says that in winter, he takes up to five skiers and his herd of yaks to the hills above town, making an overnight camp.
In the morning, Mr Dorje heads to a high slope with his beasts, trailing out a rope behind him.
The yak skier waits nervously below, wearing skis and holding a bucket of pony nuts.
When Mr Dorje reaches the top, he ties a large pulley to a tree, loops the rope through it and attaches the cord to a stamping, snorting yak.
Then it is all down to the skier, who is tied to the other end of the rope.
They shake the bucket of nuts to attract the yak - and put it down fast as the beast charges down the mountain, pulling the skier upwards at terrifying speed.


Best quote: Never shake the bucket of nuts before you're tied to the yak rope

Dave J, sorry mate but we've already been there on this story. It's popping up on Google like it's going out of fashion. Must be a bad time for real skiing news. Thanks anyway

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?
