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 :-)

The following was on evo2's facebook today.
Evolution Deux Chamonix
Yesterday an Itlain man fell
down a crevasse
on the Aiguuille du Midi. His friend ran to our guide who called the secours, but the friend could not remember where he fell. They went over maps, the friend was in the helicopter, all to no avail. They had harnesses on but no ropes...Ilaria Menchini who works for the TO was called in to help communicate with the man, doing an amazing job, his phone eventually died and the serach had to be abaondoned late last night ....This morning they have just found him!! Thank god! Stay safe everyone - never ever think you know the mountain so well as to take even the smallest risk x ♥

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

Harness with no ropes?
Clearly training for Alaska.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Harnesses are a fashion statement in Chamonix and do not serve any actual purpose.
