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 :-)

Henry’s avalanche talks - Manchester

 Poster: A snowHead

Thought I’d post this in case anyone in the Manchester area is interested in going. This is the Essentials talk but others are also available.

The talk looks like good value if you are local. Found that they were doing Transceiver Training in my village (Hamble). But for £48 quid I will save it for the first week of my season on patch of snow next to the hotel with my mates.

Think I'll go to that. They're doing the "In Depth" talk the next evening as well. Thursday evening won't be as convienient for me but I could shuffle stuff around. Is it worth doing both?

Fancy the in depth one, have watched the Essentials one a few times online. Afternoon in the fridge, then go to this.

Looks like they have moguls in the fridge as well, perfect for me to practice.

@adithorp, I went to this last year or the year before. There was a thread on here which might be worth reading before you commit to too much...

Fairly detailed thread here, I think this is the one @Scarlet meant?

Some feedback from me on there - basically I wouldn't bother if you have any other options for learning about this stuff. But if you don't, well it's better than nothing.

Thanks for that. .@Scarlet, I assume you agree with those comments? Kind of had a sneaking feeling that it might be like that. I might do the Wed "essentials" anyway as it's not going to break the bank.. I'll probably spend more on beer on the way back to the train... and possibly again on the walk fromthe train home.

@adithorp, Yeah, I didn't really have anything to add to what's been said there, but I don't disagree with it. You're fairly local and it's not too expensive, so you don't have much to lose anyway, but I wouldn't bother travelling any distance or paying more than that. You'll probably get more useful info from quizzing the guides in Gressoney.

Have to say if anyone is on the fence about going it is worth it. Attended the one on Monday night in London. The material has evolved over the last few yeas and content wise is much better. It also lasted a lot longer than i expected. I recalled in the past it was around the hour mark. We easily spent a good two hours on Monday.

In terms of content - there is nothing ground breaking if you've been to talk before, use a good guide who talks to you or read up on things yourself. However, as a reminder of the basics and a refresher especially if you go with your ski partner it is worth it.

Also really liked this graphic he had:

That comparison image is great. The difference is significant with there being almost half as many fatalities. Thank you for putting that up.
