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 :-)

Not being heavily into SM (and having survived a snow avalanche unscathed), I would prefer it just require recuperation rather than hospitalisation.

Mike Pow, I'd go for all those, plus Hokkaido powder through the beech woods on our local hill Madeye-Smiley

Non ski related stuff:

Laps of Spa, the 'ring, Leguna Seca, Bruno and the Brands GP circuit in the car / on the bike as appropriate plus fishing, catch a UK Salmon, plus a Catfish and Carp trip to the Ebro.

I forgot to mention my most important item which is to be still skiing reasonably well when I'm 80. Since I am 64 this is not so far away really. Skullie

My main goal for this season is to ski this mountain in the background down the widest face in this photo, after climbing the visible center ridge:


Also all of this is right next to it so exploring that seems like a good plan and only an hour and a half out of Reykjavik:


Then it's hopefully another ten days touring up north over Easter. A few days heliskiing up north if I can work out how to afford it and get the time off.

In the future it's pretty much ski where ever and have fun trying to find the places people will be lusting after next if that's possible.

clarky999, +1

Watched it again on Sunday evening just gone, awesome eh? I have the contact details of the guy who runs the hut so its deffo on my list and will be doing some more intel work on it this winter with some guys I know in the area. Will let you know by PM if I get decent info. Cycled it in summer again and took loads of photos up there, maps dont do it justice, thats one of my favourite places and skiing up there would be the best.............dont know if I'm good enough though to do it justice! Cool


That'd be great, please!

Mike Pow, presuming you're replying to me you should ski it as well! It's a sustained 45 degree slope and usually a lot more filled in than that picture. Main problem is catching it in condition and getting up there, although there is an easy swing round the back rather than heading up the ridge which is around PD to climb. I didn't manage to find a weekend with it in condition and favourable weather last year though. Sad

Good thread, but it's made me realise that I have very few dreams and aspirations.

Maybe this'll happen one day...

1) Take my camera kit on the slopes and actually come back with some half-decent material
2) Go sea trout fishing in Terra del Fuego
3) Have the balls to do a kicker with a front lip height of more than 30cm
4) Not run out of dreams and aspirations so quickly Smile
