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 :-)

BASI Humour...

Poster: A snowHead

... I had to chuckle today.

Just reading the new BASI Manual... When discussing Flex Pattern on a ski, it say's, I quote...

' When picking a ski, you should take it from the rack of the ski shop, place one hand in the middle and one at the tip and then force the ski to bend in order to test it's flex pattern. This rarely helps but by nodding sagely and staring at the ski, a good impression is always made' Laughing

Is this the skiing equivelent of kicking a tyre when buying a car? wink Laughing

As many SH's will know I recently bought a fairly new car from a dealers showroom. So I've driven nearly 100 miles to collect it (and the showroom new this and had assured me that I would find the motor 'A-OK'). So classic main dealer showroom - car itself in the display amongst all the new ones as an excellent example of its type. Salesman suited and booted in the 'sales in the bag' mode - we had discussed that if I was happy I would drive it home.

I walked around the car lookiing and taking note bobbed down and felt the rear tyres and announced - 'I'm not driving it home like that the rear tyres are practically illegal in tread depth' Shocked Result - two new tyres to drive home on and the most embarrassed car salesperson you ever did see and a new level of respect for smartly dressed woman driver who has come to buy a car evidenced in change of attitude at the thought that he'd nearly lost his commission I think. I shall have to remember the trick with the skis Laughing Laughing

Laughing I'd missed that... I'm too old to pull that look off anyway... tbh i avoid parks and 'tricks' like the plague. I'm really not looking forward to doing all that for my level 2. Laughing

Sounds a result... With the ski's remember to bend them away from you. A plank in the face hurts bigtime, if you let go, as a former GF found out to her embarrassment, when trying this. rolling eyes Laughing

Apart from the jackets they are wearing rolling eyes ...not my cup of Tea.

Is the design on the jacket based on Mountain roads on a piste map? Looks like it to me. Razz

spud, I've not heard anyone have a good word to say about those jackets, from either a performance or appearance point of view. They'll be changed for next season, moving to Patagonia kit I think.
