I'm there tomorrow for a flatland day. Hopefully it will be just as quiet.

Saw some kids doing this in Val D last week, only pulling 360's all the time down the OK run prior to timed GS runs down there, very impressive exercise.

@endoman, we call those "hurricanes", don't usually do those with adults but the kids love em. sometimes will get 3 or 4 in a ring and it always ends up with funny crashes.

The snow at hemel isn't quite as smooth as that by 8pm on a Sunday! Lots of bumps and hard scoured bits when i was there earlier.

@Maireadoconnor, I filmed that about 3 pm on the bank holiday weekend. Snow held quite well but cant say I have ever been there at 8PM on a Sunday, thats dedication !!

@Little Martin, I imagine it was character forming for them! Good work getting your L3s onto the main slope; I had a full roster of ten L1s so I didn't cover quite so much ground.
@skimottaret, I was being paid to be there 8pm felt easier than the usual 10pm during the winter

I'm under strict instructions to get some skiing in over the next few months seeing as the last couple of seasons have been a bit quiet for me (family, friends and work having conspired to keep me from the slopes). As Arnie once said, "I'll be back".

Second day back on skis yesterday, ankle still too sore but getting better. Nice to see a bunch of snowHeads having some fun and getting some practice in. It was a bit busier than the midweek day I skied last week, but never any lift queues and fairly quiet on the main slope. Frustratingly there was a freestyle course running so from late morning they put out a few freestyle features which narrowed the slope a little, but generally the snow stayed in good shape until mid-afternoon.

Great conditions today, best of "the season" so far Very quiet, especially in the afternoon when there seemed to be fewer than a dozen people on the main slope. Snow stayed in great shape, perfect for training on. Happy days!

incase anyone finds this useful:
Sunday this weekend will have private freestyle park on the roller and maybe some boxes/rails near the bottom of the left hand lift. I got a feeling there is something going on in the afternoon on Saturday as well.

Monday was very very quiet with no more than 10-20 on the slope at any time. Snow was fresh and very sticky in the morning so be careful on the first run !

@skimottaret, good save, if not a perfect demo!

I've just spotted how cheap the family summer passes are - £149 for a family of 4. I think that's August sorted out for the kids. Anyone else getting an August pass?

@snowdave, it's worth checking out the membership too. It gives 30% off lift passes (including monthly) and 10% off in the cafe. It's pretty easy to recoup the initial cost over a few months if you take the summer passes and go once or twice a month otherwise.
Also, worth knowing there is a discount for the membership for Super-snowheads, which makes that worth doing first.
|

|
@Tubaski, thanks, I'll look into that, tho' August will probably be our only trips there (we're mainly on the fantastic plastic at brentwood).
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
The monthly used to take 30% off the total if one you had membership but now it takes off an amount for the member only. Still worth it though for the member tho.
Having said that count me in for July and August and September and October

Anyone know if there are any lift pass deals knocking around? Quite fancy a session this weekend (approaching 3 month blues) but resent paying rack rate.

The monthly pass is good value - if you can get a few sessions out of it. I know there were deals on lessons on groupon, so might be worth checking if any lift passes on there too...

Myself and a few others (probably Pigeondave, Kamikaze Pete, Tubaski and anyone else I can drag along) are planning a trip to Mt Hemel this Saturday if anyone fancies a mini-snowheads group ski. As I'm driving up from Devon I've got the day pass to try and make the most of it and will likely be skiing from about 10 until some time in the afternoon when I get bored (plus obviously will have a few breaks).
Say hi if you're about, I'll be the chubby bloke with purple trousers, green coat and snowheads stickers on my skis.
