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 :-)

Pleeeeease try to persuade me to take up boarding!
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

From a 51 year old teenager who learnt to board this year with his 12 year old son (he looks cool, I look stupid):
Reasons to be boarding (part 3)

  1. Comfortable boots: allow you to walk down those steep stairs to the restaurant loo without feeling you’ll fall any minute
  2. Better gloves: actually do keep your hands warm
  3. Baggy clothes: far more practical than most ski-stuff, more comfortable, and quite flattering for those expanding as we get older
  4. Chance to wear earrings and try out new hairstyles (try bright blue hair or see what you’ll look like when bald by shaving it all off)
  5. Ready-made picnic table strapped to your feet
  6. Stimulated sense of balance will improve your skiing
  7. It’s lots of fun

Ian

Just before the infamous ground zero day at skiclub we were having quite a good bit a banter about teaching you about snowboarding, i remember posting a load of stuff about different types of binding, i never managed to log on after coming back from Courmayeur so didn't know your response - any questions? Do you still have the links?

I think the next step for me is to actually do it! I'm a member of SCGB at the moment so I can go search for the appropriate post, I remember the exchange being highly informative.

Are you sure you mean bagels?

When Dan first posted there were actual images displayed in his post. Now there are only the addresses. I suspect some intervention by a Moderator. I have looked around for guidance on posting of images. In the FAQ it merely says images can be posted (and how to do it), but no suggestion they are discouraged. So what is the etiquette on posting images? Confused

Thanks Elizabeth B, and I think this policy quite sensible, but is it published anywhere?
(Aplogies if it is - I often miss what is right in front of me rolling eyes )

Jonpim, I've replied to your suggestions/requests thread. Basically (as far as I am aware - I may be wrong) the "policy" doesn't exist in published form. All of us involved in moderating are new to this sort of thing, and indeed admin is new to "admining". So things are developing on a "trial and error" basis. Evidently what has happened is that a decision was reached among moderators, but not communicated beyond that.

This is an oversight, I'm sure, although I suspect that the powers that be are trying to avoid a situation where they have to publish a set of rules. This is restrictive and can cause more problems than it solves. Shocked

Hope this helps.....and I hope my info is correct rolling eyes

Elizabeth's completely right and please consider yourself not told off at all Jonpim.
There are a few bits and pieces of policy published here and there but I'm sorry to say there is no definitive source as yet. Some general terms and conditions have been prepared but not quite implemented since, as everyone seemed to be behaving so nicely, it was easy to prioritise other matters above them.

Personally, I've never really found the role of 'Authoritarian' an easy one to adopt especially when no-one's being naughty Wink
