Poster: A snowHead

As Fasching is fast approaching, I was wondering if any heads are planning joining in with the custom of skiing in fancy dress?

DAB, couple of weeks ago in Les Arcs there was a group dressed as 1950's ladies, complete with headscarves and handbags. OH how we laughed.

The 'Jamaican bobsleigh team' kidnapped me and force fed me beer while they pushed me round in their bob!! It was all done according to the best H&S rules though - a team of nurses were doing the pouring.
I knew the hangover was bad the next morning when the Grim Reaper overtook me on his snowboard.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

No, not especially Fashing. What's the point of dressing up to ski or do anything else? I don't get fancy dress at all. It's a rhetorical question, I don't expect anyone to actually explain why dressing up as a superhero or a vicar or a nurse is so frightfully funny, and I know I'm in a minority in regarding fancy dress as a total and inexplicable waste of time, money and effort.

You know it makes sense.

This year's Fasching ends on Tuesday, 24th February and although it started on 11th November last year, most of the fun (particularly on the slopes) takes place in the last few days in February. In some places, e.g. Spitzingsee near Munich - Firstalmfasching, see e.g. http://www.toytowngermany.com/lofi/index.php/t58213.html, there are traditional events with many folk dressed up and (at Spitzingsee) races of crazily designed sledges.
The Fasching (or Carnival) business is taken seriously in Germany, especially along the Rhine where it is celebrated with many boozy evenings and strange customs. All very difficult for us Calvinistic Scots to understand
