Intent on skiing New Year on Cairngorm, but being a young student and having not much in the way of money, my mate & I camped at Loch Morloch camp site, I think there were only two other tents there.
We each had two sleeping bags. After a week of this life, we packed, and struck camp, first removing the tent poles. The tent moved not one inch. It was frozen into position, and was loaded onto the roof rack as it was.
And you try telling that to the young folks of today.....

I've just joined here, though why not before I'm not sure when I've often used the information as a reference point. Anyway suffice to say that the observation about SHs is bang on. The place seems to have been taken over by a smallish group of self-appointed PC brigaders with nowt better to do than roam the site looking to be grumpy at everyone or censor anyone that is remotely different.
Sorry, RO

The reason j2ski is not the #1 ski website (when it should be really) is because it is cliquey. There are no show offs on 'snowheads' but then again there isn't the knowledge on snowheads that there is on so j2ski. J2ski has created a niche in that regard.
j2ski has found good skiers. I ski reds and I'm scared of blacks. I don't feel good enough for this forum and that is how this forum makes people feel.
I won't repeat myself but there are people on this forum who I really admire.
I'm not too sure I'll post again.
I for one would be upset if we lost you.
You often find that it takes a complete beginner or newbie (not that I am saying you are either) to throw up a question that really gets an experienced skier to think about something he or she has never considered before.
J2ski is my favourite (I do post on Snowheads too) because people on here are friendly and will answer questions unlike on SH where they would just give a flippant remark or grumpily tell you that it has been asked 200 times before. SH posters are a good bunch of people but I find that some can get nasty.
