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 :-)

Richard_Sideways, well spotted and good shout, though I think Shep's 1990 incident in most cases would have been a blood wagon affair based on his report, but given it wasn't used it was probably just a scratch to his finger and he's bigging it up for effect.

Ah hah, I see, reading that lot took some concentration! So we now have a rule 5 vs rule 15 conundrum (taking R-Ss comment into account). I plead any purely accidental snowhead points gained from flukily satisfying rule 5 on occasions, should not automatically be cancelled by my shameless rule 15 breaking! Based on the defence that I wasn't aware of "the rules" when I posted.

However,on reflection (and since ignorance is no defence), I agree that going-on about a non-autofatal avalanche incident can only be seen as the sniveling bleating of a big girls blouse... Embarassed wink

btw, rule 37 is such a perfect sumary of how to conduct a "boys' ski-day" that I regard it as poetry! Laughing

ps, "skied home" was definitely an exaggeration, "traversed and sundial-turned home bent-up like a dead spider" would be more accurate Skullie

Thornyhill, I have to see your technique for getting on a lift it sounds impressive!


meh - the top lift in Orelle is a long non-detachable one, so it comes behind you at a fair pace. When loading the kids onto these type of lifts, their knees are below seat height, so I usually try and grab the chair just before it knocks them over, they jump up, I let go and we are all aboard. Get it wrong by about 3mm and you are trying to stop the chair by pointing your fingers at it...doesn't work. The one in Chamonix was just a 'hold my beer and watch this' moment.
