snowHeads

1009 people 'Like' snowHeads while 1100 are 'following' snowHeads. So 91 people are following someone/something they DON'T like... It never gets any less creepy this Faecebook lark.

Why do U only get a badge for 90% + 15min response time? I'm quite happy with '30% + 2 weeks' and I want a badge to prove it.

Ha Ha!! PSB in exactly a week and it's only a Winter-blimmin-wonderland init :-) https://tignes.roundshot.com/lac/

To quote Helen Beaumont from this morning: The EoSB Buttons are up!

OK, basically same story as this time last year. PSB made a massive return last year: buttons are now up for this year. PreBB and Birthday Bash buttons are up too and getting pressed pretty frequently.

snowHeads updated their business hours.

So it's nearly time for OktoberTest!

And it's looking like this will be the biggest yet :-)
Already over 100 of us down to meet up at Hemel.

Nordica have added themselves to the list of confirmed brands for both events.
Confirmed: Whitedot, Dynastar, Armada, Movement, Scott, Blizzard, Nordica, Ellis Brigham

The food buttons are now up (Hemel): it's a nice cheap way to get yer tea in and it's a good opportunity to sit down and chat to a few snowHeads face to face.
We need to order in advance to give them a reasonable idea how much to cook of each option.

BASI have, as yet, been unable to find a trainer to send to Hemel but are sending us a Trainer to Manchester to give a few ski-tips and help you understand where your skiing is in relation to what's required for L1. Nevertheless, any snowHead who comes to either OktoberTest will qualify for 10% off the cost of their first Level1 BASI course if they take it up in the next 12 months.
Rob@rar and skimottaret of Insideout will be on hand at Hemel to give a little advice on how your skiing stacks up against what's required for L1.

Mr Mojo will be coming to Hemel to show off, answer questions about and offer demos of the Ski Mojo ( http://www.skimojo.com/ ), a device that has helped many skiers with dodgy knees get back in shape or extend their ski-life by a decade or more (not kidding!)

On top of all this, the SnowCentre are launching their new partnership with Switzerland so there will be wine tasting and fondue and St Bernards and all sorts of other Swissy stuff.
Might be worth coming a little early with all that going on? ;-)

If you're not signed up yet... don't you think you should be by now?
Surely no better offer (as if such a thing could even exist!) is going to come along now ;-)

Hope to see you at the weekend! :sH:

Log in, snowHeads ski forum ... snowHeads ski club 2.0 is the friendliest ski club ever. Impartial snow reports from real people. Discussion board, ski club forum, snowboarding, off piste skiing

It's really lovely to see the PSB rise again!
3 years of what seemed like an unstoppable force (of fun) met the immovable object of French bureaucracy and erm... stopped.

20 or 30 of the hardcore kept the torch burning at NotThePreSeasonBash and NotThePreSeasonBashAgain but this year the PSB is back!..and proving rather popular.
Suddenly I find I'm rather excited about the coming Winter! :-)

A few snowHeads have suggested we should add our events to Facebook to help word get around. I'd be happy to oblige, in principle: it's just that Faecebook don't give us any control over who sees what I post. Problem is, I add the event thinking 700 people who 'like' snowHeads will be notified but in reality, only a couple of dozen get notified unless you have declared specifically that you want notifications from this page.
So... If you want to hear about snowHeads events via this route: Under 'Liked' above, hit the pencil next to 'notifications' and tick the box under 'Get notified when this Page hosts an event near you.'
