Poster: A snowHead
|
A couple of very important things have happened to me this week. A couple of days ago I received my SnowHeads stickers (v. quick - ta guys). And today I received my new Magfire 10 skis.
I was wondering - do you stick SnowHeads sickers on your skis? If so, where on your skis do you stick 'em? And if not, where do you stick yours?
I'm now wetting myself waiting to go skiing....the rain has stopped here in Brighton, the sun is shining and it's gone cold. It would be a perfect day for skiing - 'cept Brighton is usually a bit devoid of the white stuff. Oh well, can dream.

petemillis, I stuck mine on the tails, but I don't know if they will stay on when I go skiing.

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

The smooth black bit on the underneath. The surface is quite waxy so make sure you scrape it all off first

Two are wrapped around the poles and one on eack ski tail (some go on the luggage for quick ID on the carousel).

Poles are a good idea though.

Frosty,
Was thinking about tails - but then they ain't visible outside the mountain restaurants so I might go tips instead. One thing that concerns me is whether the sticker will alter the stiffness of the front of the ski and upset them in some way. Has anyone done any serious research on sticker placement?

On my skis, just in front of the bindings, to remind me to switch them around now and then. Just sticking the other ones on the poles...

|
|
|
|
petemillis, I actually have them on the topsheet at the front tip end, accross the ski at its widest point

I'm thinking of buying same skis as Michelle which may cause confusion at the EOSB so this may be one way to tell the difference. M, are you planning to snowhead yr skis & if so, where?

I've got one on each pole by the handle end. I've got another on my helmet at the front. Maybe I should put the 4th on the back of my helmet.
Then I'd need to buy some extra ones.

petemillis, I got my stickers this week too but have 30 days (and counting) to decide where to put them. Mrs L has told me where she thinks they might go, but I thought that it might be a bit uncomfortable so thanks for your alternative suggestions everybody.

If I got some would it affect the helmet if I stuck them on it like some folk here have?

Helmet and ski topsheets front tip & bag and case for identification

Mine are on my helmet, the ones on the skis fell off - the glue couldn't handle the speeds

FenlandSkier, you couldn't handle the glue or the speed more like it

Seems like quite a few people use stickers for bag identification, thats going to lead to alot of confusion at airports for the EOSB!

I stick mine on my helmet, there's a picture of it in my album in snowMedia.
I've also stuck them on school folders but constantly being rubbed around in my bag made all the printing fade

Right, I've just installed a couple of snowHead stickers on my skis - in front of the bindings just above the letter "e" in elan. I was a bit worried about the ruggedness having installed similar stickers before no my enduro bike, so I used a piece of clear UV and weather resistant adhesive vinyl (the same stuff as used for protecting graphics on signs etc) over each one, overlapping the edges by about 10mm. A bit anal I s'pose but the stickers now look nice and shiny and as if they're under the surface of the ski - much harder for scallies to whip off when they want to nick the skis!

cathy, that's because you've been trying to stick them on when you should actually be installing them

Not really. Mine has more than one stickers. The now defunct Epicski.com sticker is quite unique. Not to mention the skidiva.com sticker.
I often see a lot of bags with ski resort stickers on them. I hope the owner can tell which one they put on their bags and not get confused with bags also have resort stickers. I use stickers strictly as an identification aid, so I want my stickers to be unique. I'm not beyond putting kayak stickers on ski equipment, and ski stickers on my kayaking gear.
