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 :-)

...ok, after the embarrassing female graphics on skis discussion I've run up against the whole gendered skiing business again.

All of you who watched 'La Grave, a skier's journey' on the recent threads may have noticed that Chad Sayers wears a pink helmet in the 'in the forest' sections. Interesting I thought. And I need a new helmet (actually let's just check that, fact is, I feel like a new helmet purchase coming on....not least because, according to industry insiders, we should buy a new one after every three years since the polymerisers in the eps go all weird and the eps goes brittle - but that's a completely different thread, I think) - so, I phone a few 'ard people and they say, yes you should buy a flouro pink one. Pink. Not yellow. Or mauve. Or green. Or blue. Pink.

I'll say it again. Pink.

Why? Because if you get 'into trouble' - tree wells, slides, etc etc - then flouro pink is absolutely the most visible colour, apparently.

So I go to my local, and ask for a pink helmet - after everyone stops laughing and pick themselves off the floor, I find an AMAZINGLY PINK Poc Receptor Bug helmet. And this this is really pink. Really really pink (note I'm trying to habituate my self to the whole pink thing by saying 'pink' a lot).

I get this thing, and show it to my 6 year old son who says (you guessed...) 'dad you can't wear that...it's REALLY PINK!!!!'

So there it is. I have joined the ranks of really gnarly in-the-trees skiers by buying a pink helmet.

Good grief.

valais2, the pink you describe is a good colour in snow and is quite cool for guys (I'm told by teenage sons). They would consider wearing a bright pink baselayer for hockey training etc, ok. They haven't gone so far as to request pink rugby boots but have seen them on some players Shocked Very Happy

valais2, pink has traditionally been a male colour anyway. Pink and black are the colours of Cheltenham College, until fairly recently, a boys school.

Go for it, but pick a masculine pink!
