Yep, you heard it here first folks - unless you're on Facebook and have added Chemmy as a friend, anyway. And don't panic, the lovely snowhead Miss Alcott has not given up entirely, but has decided to retire from slalom in order to concentrate on the remaining disciplines...

I'm not on Facebook and don't have any friends, so thanks very much to nbt for that information.

Ski racers never retire, by the way, they just go on turning ... even in their graves.

Amazing to see that video of Peter Lunn, son of Sir Arnold Lunn and former British ski racer, still turning in Murren at the age of 95. Best of luck to the 28-year-old Chemmy, less than a third of his years, with a great deal of mileage ahead.

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

Thats unfortunate and most have been a hard decsion, wonder how much thats down to having no decent funding... surely this would have a knock on effect on here excellent combined form?

[You need to Login to know who's really who.]

Chemmy wont add me as a friend I might ask for my £20 back

[Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.]

papasmurf, Chemmy never did many Slalom races in a season anyhow. She will still be doing a lot of Slalom training for her combined events to keep her world rankings up. She will be racing slalom at the British champs in Meribel next week though.

[You'll need to Register first of course.]

[Then you can post your own questions or snow reports...]

Shimmy Alcott, do you have any friends in common? I know a couple of people who were "facebook friends" with Chemmy, hence when facebook suggested I add her as a friend, well, it felt rude not to, you understand

Alain Baxter and Graham Bell haven't accepted my friend requests, they've obviously heard about Mrs NBT's fondness for succesful british skiiers - although Martin "snowhead" Bell has.

[After all it is free]

Blimey, I've always thought Facebook was weird.

[You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.]

... a reflection of its founder, perhaps, who's certainly tasted the dichotomy between love and money!

[Ski the Net with snowHeads]

nbt, I'm hoping the nice beer and snowy mountains profile pic might do it; though I have long since wanted to add you as a Fb friend - so maybe two birds with one stone Feel free to Pm me

[snowHeads are a friendly bunch.]

That's a shame for the UK Snowsport I'd say but still in the best interests for Chemmy herself and here's hoping for all the very best for her next season. Keep smiling Chemmy!!
