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 :-)

It's from Milton Keynes Xscape last weekend, the riders aren't named, but it's a stunning boardercross action pic from the AIM Series event.

The story that goes with it has been posted up on natives.co.uk.

Here's a great shot of cornice jumping from Tasman Glacier Backcountry, Mt Cook National Park, New Zealand. It shows the fabulous depths of snow currently covering the north and south islands.

The skier is Alex Gorka, and the photographer Tim Woolford. It's on the snow.co.nz site.

[N.B. Cornice jumping doesn't come with a government health warning, but it carries the risk that these massive chunks of snow tend to fall when equilibrium and gravity get together. This is a common cause of avalanches.]

Another one from snow.co.nz. As their caption says:

"The sun sets on another perfect season for the majority of ski areas today (not Turoa)". The photo is by Michael.

It seems that the ski season at Turoa continues for one more week, and this report today from stuff.co.nz sums up what a great season New Zealand has enjoyed this summer (sorry, winter).

This magnificent powder pic - location and skier unknown - is by Tom Winter, on the freeskier.com site.

A superb composition, which makes you wonder whether the slope was skied specifically to create such a beautiful image, or whether it 'just happened'. The opportunity must have been so rare and so hard to achieve, I imagine it was a careful collaboration by photographer and skier.

Here's something we see little of: a wallride extension to a half-pipe, providing the thrust for a fakie. The advice, according to the caption, is "have your weight centred, constantly adjusting between toes and heels. The stall is more toes, the fakie drop-in is more heels."

The photo is by Nate Abbott on the Freeze magazine site.

Cross-country ski photos rarely get an airing in this downhill-obsessed community, but this one certainly has a 'be there' quality. Indeed, has there ever been a more snow-laden scene?

The location and photographer are unknowns.

Here's one from Utah photographer Lee Cohen, who's the subject of a new feature article on the Skiing Magazine website. It's not indicated where it was shot, or who the skier was, but he must be confident of landing in about 10ft of goose down. For a supersize version click here (zoom button at bottom right of photo).

That's extraordinary! I've never seen an aerial shot quite like that. I can only guess that he had a huge amount of air to be confident of stretching full out and inverted.

This less-than-flattering (!) ski jumping photo was shot two days ago (Saturday) at Garmisch-Partenkirchen and shows the current nordic superstar, Janne Ahonen of Finland, 'bottoming-out' after landing in a near-record jump for the hill. But it didn't disqualify him - see the caption.

For the story behind the photo, check this news report from Helsingin Sanomat.

Very impressive auto moderation. I actually wrote '@rse' (with an 'a' instead of the '@'); 'bum' might have been better than'back bottom', since he, if he is indeed a he, doesn't have a front one (and 'back bottom' is not an expression I'd use).

BTW, I don't think it's necessary to moderate the word I used; it's a perfectly respectable word for mixed company of all ages.

richmond, you can test iffy words in Preview to see what the profanity filter makes of them. Agree with you - some of it's swops are a bit unnecessary and 'quaint'

What a fantastic photo - thats one I'd like to have up at work. You can really spend a minute or two lost in that pic each day.
