We run a few bashes in the mountains each season for snowHeads forum members and, in the Autumn, some ski tests in some of the indoor UK snow slopes...
2020-21 Season
OktoberTest (UK)
OkTest_S20Saturday, 10th Oct 2020 : 12am - 12am :: OktoberTest (South) 2020, The SnowCentre, Hemel Hempstead It's all over 
WinterPSB2020(tbc)Sat 2nd - 9th Jan 2021 :tbc: Pre Season Bash 2020, Tignes, France It's all over NOTE: Link is to last year's event for info :: Buttons nearer the time. ORIGINAL DATE NOW IMPOSSIBLE. CHANGE OF DATE - POSSIBLY!
What better preparation for the ski season than going skiing? This is how we start our Winter!
PreBBWUW9Sat 23rd - 30th Jan 2021 :: Ninth Pre Birthday Bash Warm Up Week, Alleghe, The Italian Dolomites It's all over Lovely, friendly little resort in the Italian Dolomites at a very friendly price - with reasonable access to the mighty Sela Ronda. As if that wasn't enough, it's even better value when doing the double with the Birthday Bash.
S17BBSat 30th Jan - 6th Feb 2021 :: snowHeads 17th Birthday Bash, Arabba, Italian Dolomites It's all over Celebrate snowHeads becoming an almost nearly grown-up 17 year old, in Arabba, right on the legendary Sela Ronda circuit, connecting so many stunning destinations, one week simply isn't enough to do it justice.
GnarliiBuGSat 5th - 12th Mar 2022 :: Gnarly But Gnice, Gressoney, The Monterosa It's all over while there's epic off piste available, there's no need to be skiing off piste to enjoy this week. For all the epic Gnarliness The Monterosa area offers access to, there's just as much Gniceness too. Great food, Italian hospitality, beautiful scenery. To get the most from this week you should be happy with red runs rather than 'suffering' them but, that guidance in mind, it's open to all.
SFaB2021Fri 10th Apr - 17th Apr 2021 :: Spring Families Bash 2021, Val Thorens It's all over NOTE: Link is to last year's event for info :: Buttons nearer the time.
All the details are in the snowEvents forum.
If you can't see it, bear in mind you will need to be logged in to access it. Why do I have to log in to see this stuff? - We are not a tour operator: snowHeads is a community of enthusiastic "snow-heads".
- We are boarders and skiers, beginners and experts and all different ages. Some visit the site daily, some just pop in when they're excited about (or researching) their next trip. The connection is the love of the mountains and the passion for sliding about on them.
- The bashes came about because people, who had met via snowHeads, wanted to meet up and actually ski together rather than just talk about it with each other. The result is this set of trips, spread throughout the season.
- So essentially, the bashes are for snowHeads rather than snowHeads being for selling holidays.
- The most frequent remark we get from newcomers is that everyone seems so friendly and welcoming. This is because anyone who is not friendly gets 'bashed' and left outside in the snow for the night *
*That's the 'not true' bit, in case U were worried

I am booked on the PSB2013 and keen to book a guide to ski off-piste. Can get 6 days for about 400 Euros a head with six in the group. Anyone interested? Michael

Sadly I can't make the Pre-birthday or Birthday bashes this year.
Anyone interested in going for a week or so in a chalet later in February or in March ?
I was thinking of trying Austria again - maybe St Anton, Kitzbuhel or Ishhgl - but not fixed on destination.
Hopefully - Mike

Hi, hopefully this is in the right place, my husband and I are hoping to attend a bash next season, as none of our friends ski, and our approaches to skiing are very different, I like to be in control & ski at a speed I am comfortable with, happy on reds, not keen on blacks, whist my husband likes to ski faster, and will ski anything.
Does the there tend to be a mix of different levels of skiers, who are happy not to ski with their partners, ans ski in groups.
Thanks
