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 :-)

I should probably start by saying im not seriously suggesting this but I was curious.
I spend a lot of time sailing and wearing inflatable lifejackets. Would one of these work in the same way as an airbag backpack in an avalanche? If not why not?
A small side point is that a decent lifejacket is 150 quid and a airbag packpack is 600 quid plus!
(also if I have put this in the wrong sub forum I applogise)

Not much experience with Airbags but at a guess it's a lifejacket would offer less surface area, whilst maybe having a similar or even a smaller volume of air.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I once sw someone skiing in a wetsuit, if that helps.
