She did this the day after I returned from a great week at Serre Chevalier with no injuries at all! Just goes to show. Then you can post your own questions or snow reports How Many European ski resort deaths? I woudl hazard a guess that most of them get reported on this site. I suspect the number remains low and I suspect rather more people drop dead on golf courses, hill walking and many many other activities. Ski related mortality is very low indeed. After all it is free. You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net. Makes sense - just looking at it, it looks far more dangerous to me than skiing on the same slopes in winter. Also, the young downhill MTB-ers tend to be tough, brave and a touch foolhardy. Their numbers are not leavened by the Archetypical Old Punters who potter, mainly fairly safely, round the ski pistes. I'm not sure that either 'ski insurance more expensive than hiking, cycling or climbing insurance' or 'insurance for lift-served downhill MTB in the Alps is very expensive' are in fact true. Some quotes from Snowcard for 7 days in Europe, no baggage cover etc. In ascending order. Ski the Net with snowHeads. What's on trail vs off trail MTB? The downhillers I know, are I think all on trails, but any sport where you think a full neck brace and body armour is necessary is going to be well up the I might hurt myself scale. Wheras the off trail, x-country routes are definitely more 'pedestrian'. MTB tracks and trails:mountain bike riding on off road tracks or trails — e. And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports. T Bar wrote: How Many European ski resort deaths? I bet they don't. About 15 per year in France excluding heart attacks, not all of them get reported even in the French press. About 45 million skier days. That's a death rate of 0. Or to look at things another way, a 0. There are probably less accidents than piste skiing because the majority of ski tours are on low exposure routes, skiers are better and generally skiing slower than on piste. The death rate ski touring is skewed by a small minority skiing difficult routes in sketchy conditions. For the majority of skiers it is probably a pretty safe activity. 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. As someone who has had to sit out this season first one in 30 years due to health issues, I'd like to reverse the question, how dangerous is it not to ski? Clearly a little flippant, but a few years ago following an injury I was told in error by a Doctor that I would not be able to ski again - that had a significant effect on my well being at the time. I once worked out via the back of a ski pass calculation and in a particularly bad year that the chances of dying skiing off piste on any given day are roughly twice that of dying otherwise and of course both hugely greater than winning the lottery. Clearly there are many factors involved here, not least one's own propensity for exposure to existential risk. In general such risks are minimal in the whole scheme of things and can be reduced but never eliminated by the application of common sense as described in such worthy documents as the FIS and Highway Codes. You know it makes sense. Ski lots wrote I'd like to reverse the question, how dangerous is it not to ski? That's an extremely important insight. Everyone knows that cycling is dangerous. Statistically, every hour spent on your bike or skiing will increase your life expectancy, despite the inherent risk of the sport. Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:. Quote: Everyone knows that cycling is dangerous. An interesting point; perhaps the elevated risk to coronary disease heart caused by eating excessive amounts of cheese on skiing holidays ought to be factored in. That assumes that your baseline risk is that of the indolent individual if you do an active but less dangerous sport cycling may increase your risk if as seems likely exercise does not increase longevity the more you do it but has a maximal effect after fairly moderate levels of exercise. I realize that you have to read the 'everyone knows' line there in context: the statement is actually pointing out that what 'everyone knows' may be wrong. It is. Spiegelhalter knows his numbers. Note the relative risks of walking to work in a city versus cycling. Perhaps the major threat in both cases is the same bad drivers, but you're exposed to them for less time if you're cycling. In Cambridge cyclists who ignore their own safety helmets hanging off handlebars, no lights, no signals, no road traffic law observance appear to be in the majority. Whilst they're a source of danger to others, they probably also feature higher than responsible people in the accident statistics. You could say the same about pedestrians though - gormless texting people are presumably at higher risk than others. But possibly more dangerous still, at least to the career path, is being the government adviser who says so But these big, generalized, answers mean nothing anyway. There are many different kinds of skiers and, as philwig points out, many different kinds of cyclists. They are a bloody nightmare in Oxford as well. It's important to bear in mind that insurance charges often relate directly to what they are likely to be charged for, thus an accident on a beach or in a town is unlikely to require helicopter evacuation or long stays in hospital, whereas an accident on the side of a mountain is far more likely to involve a helicopter flight and more complicated and longer hospital time, so premiums are charged not just according to risk but also to likely costs involved, this is also why US ski holidays cost far more to insure than European ones where medical charges even in private hospitals are significantly cheaper. What about horse riding on ecstasy? A truth their own children already know and accept I would guess. I digress. However the evidence they are most interested in are opinion polls and focus groups. Drug de-criminalisation is not a vote-winner. You could take a view that we get the politicians we deserve. Cycling in cities is one area where assuming that the 'reckless' ones are more likely to suffer injury can fall down. Evidence tends to point to the cautious riders making up the lion's share of casualties, particularly in the increasingly common cyclist - tipper lorry incident. The 'aggressive' or 'reckless' cyclist tends to position themselves well ahead of these beast, whilst more 'cautious' and 'law abiding' cyclists tend to sit patiently in the ASL boxes and cycle lanes - just exactly in lorries' blind spots - making them much more likely to end up under the wheels. So your perception of 'recklessness' is possibly misguided. If the system itself is dangerous ie the appallingly designed city traffic infrastructure then putting yourself outside that system ie behaving 'recklessly' maybe a safe way to deal with it. That said I doubt many cycling in that style have made that as a conscious decision A correlation to skiing may be going off piste into what may be a considered a more risky area as the risks in the less risky area are being inflated by the number of skiers in that area. I'll admit that's a rubbish anaology those as you could just decide not to ski, whereas deciding not to go to work as the traffic's 'a bit dicey' is harder to justify. But as said Seomone I know took their own life last year and I think being told that he wouldn't be able to ride his bike for medical reasons was a factor. It's always about relative risks.. That's precisely my usage. You're talking about something different, almost the opposite. I'm almost entirely outside the 'traffic infrastructure' myself. I think that's very off topic though. Quote: The 'aggressive' or 'reckless' cyclist tends to position themselves well ahead of these beast, whilst more 'cautious' and 'law abiding' cyclists tend to sit patiently in the ASL boxes and cycle lanes - just exactly in lorries' blind spots - making them much more likely to end up under the wheels. I don't really agree with your nomenclature here. There is nothing reckless about taking a visible position in the centre of a lane. And I don't think sitting patiently in ASLs puts you at risk times out of anyway. What is reckless is squeezing up the inside of heavy trucks when you are not sure you can get past and into a safe position before they start moving. Even more so if they could possibly be turning left. A lot of the time the safest course is to stay BEHIND the truck in the middle of the lane rather than feel you have to squeeze to the front. If in doubt you are better doing this than fighting your way to the front. Assertive and confident are not the same as aggressive and reckless. As an aside - although I don't think it is necessarily 'reckless' to break the rules of the road, in practice, in my 10 years of cycle commuting the number of times I have felt I needed to break the rules of the road to stay safe has been a handful. A lot of the time people use that as an excuse to doing something they want to do anyway IMO. Quote: Evidence-based thinkers aren't common in government The Lib Dems aren't too bad on drugs. I think skiing's quite dangerous. It's terrible for my liver! Cycling in heavy traffic isn't really a pastime it's more probably called going to work. I guess the statistic are what tells the story. Insurance actuaries base premiums on how often they've had claims in the past, and how much those claims have cost. They want to take more money in premiums than they pay out in claims. They are not really so much looking at the future as basing the future on the past. That's a bit different to how dangerous a sport is. Cyclists in the UK are probably uninsured because their medical treatment will be free. So we can't really compare them through insurance premiums. Deaths due to cycling also include travelling to and from work, and road cycling. That's different to skiing on specialised pistes. They are sharing the road with big cars and lorries and are often in conflict with them. MTBing is that a word? Because they are not insured, MTBers are probably less likely to report an accident. And if they do go to hospital how will it be recorded? So it's going to be hard to compare skiing to anything. It's certainly beyond compare as far as I'm concerned. HoneyBunny ,. Apologies - I definitely haven't made my point clear! I really didn't want to start a discussion on cycle safety, but I am aware that what many cyclists regard as assertive and confident myself included other will regard as 'reckless' and 'aggressive' - hence my use of quotes. It was this disparity of the perception of risks that I sensed in some of the discussion and was hoping to point out and I thought had some relevance here in terms of why individuals decide to behave in what my appear to the uninitiated to be risky ways. Road cycling, MTBing, on-piste skiing and off-piste skiing are all so much fun that I'd do them whatever the risk. Drive to work instead of cycle? I'd rather take my chances and die under the wheels of a left-turning pickup truck. At least I'd finish my days having fun. Membership of British Cycling includes 3rd person cover, the same can be bought elsewhere. Granted 3rd party is not a legal requirements but I for one would not be comfortable cycling regularly on the road without it. I suspect most cyclist with high-value bikes insure them. No wonder the main 2 parties prefer to leave this hot potato alone. T Bar ,. I'm not sure that's generally so, in my experience: You can add 'bike cover' to household policies, but it's not standard. At least not on the last three or four house contents insurers I have used have to change it every year, you know how it works. If you have a reasonably high value bike, the premiums are a significant fraction of the machine's value, especially as bike depreciation is very steep. I self insure my bikes. A year ago one of them was stolen from inside my office by a burglar. I got it back thieves are stupid, the internet is my territory , and now it's fastened here with a chain which weighs half the weight of the bike and which cost about twice what the scumbag sold the bike for. My house insurance does provide third-party liability insurance. However the point about medical expenses is relevant in the UK - you can't issue proceedings to recover costs you won't reasonably incur, and the criminal law would take care of any punitive stuff.

To Ski or Not To Ski – Navigating the Sport With a Non-Skiing Partner

I read this quote recently and it really got me thinking, have I lived? In the office last week Andy asked me how old I was and it took me a while to work it out. I had only celebrated my birthday a couple of months ago but I could not recall how old I was. Does it matter these days? I did some quick maths and worked out I was The world is so vast and the list of activities and sights to see is endless. With this in mind I decided to write myself a bucket list. Intrigued by what I was undertaking, my girlfriend, Rachael, also took a wander into the land of dreams and she too decided to make a list of her own. We decided to write it completely independently and would then compare the results afterwards. After what seemed like 10 minutes but in reality was probably closer to a couple of hours we each had a long and satisfying list of hopes and visions. We had a couple of matches but, by and large, our selections were very personal to us and unique. What really stood out to me though was how many of these activities could be experienced in a ski resort on an annual ski holiday. Why is that? We all know that they are there to serve an operational purpose like airlifting an unfortunate casualty from a remote location, but they are also very much utilised for their recreational benefits. A dream of mine has always been to go heli-skiing. My love for skiing is as much about the peace and tranquillity of getting away from the city and into areas of staggering beauty and utter breathlessness as it is about the thrill of skiing itself. To soar up and see this panorama from the air just seems like such a magical experience and one I am determined to fulfil sooner rather than later. The flight is just the start of the adventure though. The best part of a snowstorm or a white out day is knowing that when the storm has passed you will be left with fresh powder to go and attack and enjoy. Heli-skiing allows you this opportunity but without the need to rely on inclement weather conditions. To pitch up on the side of a deserted mountain with only a chilling wind for company and mile after mile of untouched snowfields covering the horizon sounds like my idea of heaven. For the best heli-skiing opportunities you are best heading over to North America. In North America, a helicopter can drop you just about anywhere you fancy where you can ski between the trees down a vertical drop off a mountain. In Europe, the sport has much tighter controls and fewer drop points but it still offers the thrill of going off the usual beaten track. They can be as much a part of the holiday as the skiing itself. This is something that we can help you arrange in advance. There was something about the film that just made me smile. Was it the lucky egg or just the fact it was loosely based on a true story? Whatever it was, it made me determined to take to the ice track myself and experience bobsleighing. I was lucky enough to experience this whilst working in Austria. The Olympiaworld run in Igls hosted the Olympic bobsleigh in and and today just about anybody can give it a go. The thrill and ecstasy of hurtling down an ice track at speeds approaching 75mph means even the most extreme of adrenaline junkie will find their heart pounding. The track is just a short distance from the city of Innsbruck meaning it can be accessed from most of the Austrian ski resorts that we offer. If you are staying in France then La Plagne was the host venue for the Albertville Winter Olympic bobsleigh competition and also offers you the chance to enjoy this exhilarating sport. The thrill of floating in mid air and soaring like a bird is always difficult to describe. What neither of us have experienced is the combination of paragliding and skiing which has the typically extreme name of Speed Riding. Speed Riding is very different to its Paragliding cousin. The aim in paragliding is usually to ride the thermals to try and get as high as possible to make the flight last as long as possible, Speed Riding is almost the complete opposite. After leaving the mountain you sweep down as close to the snow as possible, the closer the better, and with your skis on you skim the snow at great speed. Most resorts these days offer paragliding, but Speed Riding is a little more specialist and is usually undertaken more by solo professionals than tandem skiers, but there are still destinations where you can enjoy this opportunity in tandem with an experienced speed rider. Resorts where you can tandem Speed Ride are quite few and far between, but Grindelwald in Switzerland is one such place. A great location to experience the thrill of Paragliding is the French ski resort of Chamonix. As Chamonix sits in a fantastic location at the foot of Mont Blanc and borders both Italy and Switzerland it means that you can experience fantastic views and truly appreciate the sheer beauty of the landscape beneath you. To read more on Speed Riding, check out our previous blog post. Luxury is a hard word to define as it has personal meanings to the individual concerned. To Rachael the idea of luxury is a dream she has always wanted to indulge in, relaxing in a chalet with a hot tub whilst enjoying Champagne with just the moon and stars lighting the night sky. Most of us will have had a tough day on the slopes, covering as much distance as possible, taking in as many slopes as the clock will allow, and come the end of the day all you want to do is kick back, relax and soak those aching bones. Staying in a chalet with a hot tub is by far the best way of achieving this. Whilst it is bitterly cold outside the body is warm, cosy and relaxed. Snowflakes fall gracefully on the only skin left exposed to the elements. As you look around taking in the white panorama, some of you will feel that this really can be defined as luxury. Ski In Luxury offer a number of luxury chalets with hot tubs , but there is one that really stands out to me. The Backstage Chalet in the Swiss resort of Zermatt has a hot tub right in the heart of the chalet, nestled by the roaring fire. At the touch of a button the panorama changes completely as the hot tub is hydraulically lifted through the roof of the chalet allowing you to experience the hot tub both indoor and out. Views of the warm fireplace are swapped for the magnificence of the Matterhorn at the touch of a button. At 28 I am by no means old and will hopefully have many years left to experience the un-ticked activities on my list. What I will bear in mind though is how many of these great activities I can experience the next time I don the woolly hat. Resorts offer so much more than just skiing and snowboarding these days. They offer us the opportunity to fulfil our dreams. I would love to hear about them.
