 Poster: A snowHead

Hi All
My group of fellow skiers are not sure if they will book a holiday on the slopes this year due to other commitments. I need to twist their arm and would like as many reasons why we should hit the slopes again.

4. When you face plant in the office, it always hurts, in the soft snow it doesn't.

6. The M25 (or in your case, mightysaints, the M27) - would you rather be stationery in a lift queue for a minute, or 10 minutes in a motorway queue?

Getting outdoors in the winter is a proven cure for SAD!

I am interested as to what the other commitments may be. Justifiable reasons may be:
Cant go skiing because:
I have to collect my Euro Lottery win
I am saving up for a chalet
I need to do more physio on my 2 dislocated knees

the briefest mention of getting high on white powder seems to be an offence in the office, especially in todays politcal climate. in the alps its something to be proud of.
i can't walk circa 100m to the office from home. in the alps i'm on a lift by then

snowbunny, I think our Scots and Cumbrian freinds may disagree !
7) TNF clothing looks (slightly) less silly in Val D'Isere than it does on the bus.
 You'll waste WAY less time on Snowheads in the mountains.....

There is a pre-season trip very soon, and probably at least one end of season trip to which all snowHeads are welcome. Details in the "snowEvents" section.

Taking your shoes off at the end of the day is nowhere near as nice after a day in the office as it is after a day on the slopes.

The confectionery, 'Snowball' may be enjoyed at the office with coffee at break time, but nothing can beat the real thing; the swishing in the air, followed by that dull thump as it impacts and explodes around the head/body of the target.................

The air from the office Air Con system just doesn't help clear a hangover as well as clear Alpine air

Yeah, snowball fights are a lot more fun than rolled-up-paper fights!
The view out of an office is... another office. The view out of a chalet is... just amazing.
Going up ski lifts is 1. alot more easy than going up stairs and 2. a lot less boring than an elevator, and has a much better view
U can impress ladies on the slops with your flirting AND your skiing. Office? No skills, except for typing. Boring!
Staring at the Alps is a lot more rewarding, satifying fulfilling than staring at a computer screen. (After 3 lessons in ICT in a day I can clarify!)
The weather.
The snow, for starters! Is there any snow in the office? No!
You can get snowed under with, well, snow, instead of (bl00dy) paperwork!!!! (Or coursework in my cace.)
Tell them if they're don't go skiing they aint got a life!

You can't watch your friend fall over 10M before the line in a GS race in the office (unless you were fortunate enough to have the first time on video)

...because you really need snow and if you don't get it you'll die, or least be very unhappy
Oh dear, I seem to have kicked off my craving again...
(Welcome to snowHeads, BTW)
