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 :-)

Please could you spare just 10 minutes to answer my dissertation questionnaire...it's regarding skiers behavioural adaptations to climate change. COMPLETELY confidential. Would be a massive help

If you are slightly over the age bracket please feel free to complete, your thoughts will still be counted

Thank you

Done.

Not sure how geography fits in with the survey though - one of the last questions has both "Canada" and "North America" as options, so watch out for these results as they might be a litle misleading. Also, the implication of the survey is that people would only consider North America/Canada/elsewhere only on climate change - many people will have put this as their early answer in the "Other" section. You may have to watch out for this in the results too - "Other" will be popular and may not be representative of where people would change too if climate change kicked in.

Best of luch with it though! Cool snowHead

I doubt very much there is any scientific evidence to back your assertion that "Over the past few years it has become increasingly difficult to predict snowfall." Weather forecasting, I understand, has improved over recent years.

Defective survey - there was one question I didn't want to answer as none of the answers were appropriate but it wouldn't let me leave it blank. That and if you're trying to pull some quasi climate change is affecting people's behaviour nonsense then you aren't screening for other relevant factors. If its a good snow year and the storms keep coming more people will go skiing - that's the fairly simple correlation, one or more bad year(s) aren't statistically significant in proving climate change as an impact on skiers.

tuff, had a look at this but half way through decided my input was not relevant as we live here nearly all winter so not really a 'holiday'

But also wonder why you are stopping your age at 51 - there are so many of us slightly older (that's being kind) skiers around.

and also the validity of your questionnaire will be shot to pot if you accept people outside the age range you stipulated. This is not really ethical anyway as people have not been fully informed of how you are going to use this information, nor can they withdraw it if they decide to.

I guess it is that time of year again.

good luck.

Yes indeed... The chances of low snow and good snow years hasn't really changed either. Massively flawed assertion.

Done it. I'm 57 so if my views alter anything then so be it. Most people have had to do this sort of stuff. It's not going to change the world so I see no point in picking over whether its valid, or not.

Because validity and reliability should be a the core of a research study. Otherwise it is just another crappy survey. Nothing to do with whether the stuff has impact.

Completed, but your survey seems to assume that we only currently ski in Europe and would only consider the likes of Canada, North America (presume you really meant the US since Canada was already listed as a separate option), Japan etc if it stopped snowing in Europe. Which certainly isn't the case.

It doesn't work if you try to put "Other" instead of one of the check boxes for any questions.

And as for the last question - what if the dramatic effect of climate change is to INCREASE the snow in your preferred area? Smile

Completed, but tough to accurately answer some questions as I live within 30 minutes of a handful of resorts...survey seemed to assume everyone is a UK/Euro tourist skier...

One of the better surveys I have seen here... But still trying to force answers in particular directions...
