Poster: A snowHead
|
...but had to change dates at the last minute due to work commitments. I am now going on my own in two weeks time, which isn't really a problem. My problem is that my "friends" who are skiing without me, keep on sending me up to the minute snow and slope reports to my mobile phone, and ringing me at lunch time for menu and wine advice!
What should I do? Dump my friends and bar their numbers? Do the same thing back to them in two weeks time? (although that would lack originality) Or some other suggestion?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Suggest you get the capability to email pictures back to them in two weeks time - suggested images of uncrowded pistes, half empty wine bottles during lunch etc etc

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

My girlfriend phoned her sister last January (03) in Chamonix from a mountain restaurant where we were enjoying a vin chaud. It was early Jan, so it was her sister's first day back in the office - nice.
After hanging up and getting the lift to the top of an easy blue she crossed skis midway down and popped her MCL.
Either voodoo works, or just take it as a lesson - don't wind people up back home, because you never know what'll happen next!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Ok its slightly mean - but how about going to a website that lets you send SMS's for free and bombard them back with info from the UK...
How about sending them forecasts that its going to thaw, the next valley along has better conditions, theres going to be an airport strike the day they come back, there's been a freak gale in their home area...

Don't think I want to get on the wrong side of MM, she has a rather inventive nasty streak

I would take MMs suggestion, but they're in St Anton, so they know that they've got the best conditions of pretty much anywhere in the alps. It could thaw for the next week and it still wouldn't impact much on the 4+ metres of snow up top. At least it looks like the conditions are still going to be good for when I go there a week on sunday.

You could text them that it's forecast to be a freezing, raging gale the next afternoon, so when they go ip in twenty layers of clothing and the sun shines brightly, they all lose about 20Kg in sweat...? Of course, do the opposite way round if that's how the forecasts are.
In two weeks time, you just need to remember to ignore their forecasts.
