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 :-)

ok...how on Earth do I choose?

- New Year week with kolkie, her brother and my parents
- ski and photography week in the Dolomites
- SH Birthday Bash
- our classic La Grave March week (this reminds me I forgot to put up a TR from the '17 edition)
- SH offpiste bash
- a Lofoten trip that I've done more than 3 years ago - I should really return...
- EOSB
- trip with friends and horizon jr in St Anton or Montafon freeride camp (same week in Feb)
- already said no to trips organised by snowball due to lack of time, but I'd like to ski with him again

...I have a certain amount of leeway from work, but...

I'm starting to understand admin's decision to form snowheads so he could ski loads, but he cornered that market niche already.

I don't think there's enough money in being a ski photographer for tourists...

That's why I went back to working in skiing.

Couldn't find a job which would pay me enough to have as much time as I wanted on snow.

Hi, @holidayloverxx and @Hurtle, @horizon just mentioned this thread, and I haven't been on snowHeads for ages so thought I'd take a look. Nice that someone on here still remembers me: perhaps I should come back!
Yes I still ski much the same, though I get a bit tired with long slogs up on skins. Did a helicopter ski holiday in Alaska last season, though they had had 90mph winds just before and everything was crust or breakable crust, except the last day when they shipped us 80 miles North (and we did 8 ascents to ski powder - Great!)

Add to the welcome backs. The above is why I've never been bold enough to ever commit to a heli skiing trip (that and being totally closed out by the weather). Glad you got a payoff at the end.

 So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

Plenty expensive too. Selling my mother's house after she died 2 years ago settled that.
Perhaps I should do a thread on it with some photos.
I'm looking for extra (expert) skiers for a Gressoney/Alagna holiday from 22 Feb. (just started a thread)

Ya, know someone in Stockholm who had a baby, just so he and his wife could fill their dream of sailing a loop of the Med on a small yacht for 6 months, lol.

Same problem for me @Tubaski! rolling eyes

What a tempting idea @Themasterpiece, I just saw a snippet on FB from BBC comparing the quality of paid parental leave between the U.K. and Sweden! The U.K. Mum was a doctor too but she felt she was struggling with the price of childcare for 2 children... Shocked

The eternal problem as @adithorp has summed up: #skiworldproblems... snowHead
