Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

[Thread re-titled 10 January, to reflect story developments]


US basketball champion Dennis Rodman has (according to unconfirmed reports) been flown by helicopter to the new North Korean ski resort at Masik Pass, after controversial meetings (including a 'happy birthday' tribute) with the country's leader Kim Jung Un ...

Rodman apologizes, then apparently hits ski slopes

Arthur Loves Queuing, bracketed smackdown-waiver is superfluous - enjoyed the posting! Your 'was a star badge' is in the post.

It seems that the Masik Pass ski area may have opened on New Year's Day, or thereabouts. For some reason it's taken 12 days for our Comedic International Media Monitoring Station to pick this up. We are now in negotiation with GCHQ. Anyway, here's the gnarly North Korean ski terrain and those who can hack it ...

This is a truly awful (quite fitting) GoPro, with strangely hilarious dog moment (which will not attract any obvious comments from this quarter) ...
