 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello Snowheads,
Long time lurker, first time poster here.
I just checked and have seen that I've been lurking for over 2 years, reading many funny anecdotes and top tips, it's been very entertaining 
I promise not make any posts about:
Snow tyres
Helmets (though I am considering getting one)
or Skiing in Scotland (though I keep flirting with the idea)
... at least not yet.
About me, I live in Northants, in the middle of nowhere anyone's heard of. I've skiied quite a bit now over the last 30 years (gulp!) and should be a lot better than I am. Mrs Womble also skies (better than me) and Womble Junior at 4 and a bit hasn't quite made the slopes yet, though we have a plan for that over the next New Year. Of course when I say plan... I mean a framework ... or perhaps just the edges of a general idea.
Anyway, that's it for now, I thought it was about time to say hello!
Womble

womble, Welcome
perhaps the place for you to take Womble Jnr ought to be somewhere like Bansko to meet his uncle. Or is it his Great Uncle.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

womble, Welcome to Snowheads! 
As regards Womble Junior, if you're in Northants I suppose Xscape at Milton Keynes or the Snowcentre at Hemel Hempstead isn't too far - have you thought about an introduction to sliding on snow at one of those venues?

Snow Tyres : use them all year round. There's only a couple of months in the UK where the temps are high enough to be outside the optimum range.
Helmets : you've only got one head, protect it. The evidence is there to support that assertion.
Skiing in Scotland: Do it.. if nothing else it'll mean you'll be comfortable skiing in the Alps when it's a white-out and everyone else is in the bar.
There.. I've saved you the bother

Yes; in fact he's already been to a kiddie sledging party at Xscape at MK and also the Tamworth Centre is within an hour as well (if it's still open). But it's definetely worth a go to see what he thinks.
Cheers,
Womble

Hello Womble !
I too have been lurking and finally joined this week ! Fear I may be in the minority though as I am a cross country enthuisiast who does not get on with planks or plaster casts though Mr M looks very graceful on his and the tiny mushers are coming along nicely
