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 :-)

Up at Tignes today, with the BAST team...

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person
I've seen some of those guys ski at Tignes, and they were incredibly impressive. They were some of the quickest skiers on the piste, even though they were in a sit-ski (is that the right term?).

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

PG, who's that then?

(The BAST team feature in snowAngels - they have a couple of fundraising events coming up later in the season, snowHead choodalls is one of their number but I believe he is now moving into the training side rather than racing)

I'm a pretty quick skier so I was surprised, and very impressed, to be overtaken by an oldish fellow in Val T last Easter, especially as I had twice as many legs as him. Great picture PG

rob@rar.org.uk, the team consisted of sit-skiers, stand-ups, partially sighted. I think the guy who hopes to attempt 200 kph next year at Les Arcs in the flying K is around this week, I'll try to find him on Thursday. He's blind.

Ian Hopkinson, it's Russell Docker - he was really flying. One of three members of the team going to the Paralympics next year. For those who know the glacier, this was up at 3500, on the steepest training section. It was seriously impressive to watch. I was particularly moved by the girl - a sit-skier - who had a major crash, losing an edge, going over the snow wall separating piste from off piste. Looked like bad concussion, but she seemed more upset about missing out on the training than anything else. Another guy with a suspected broken collar bone today. Sad

choodalls (Dave), had a long chat, as you say he was managing rather than training. Going up to the post-training meet on Thursday to talk to the team, find out more about what's involved. But when you see the skill, effort, and sheer courage of these guys - and the obstacles (literally, like the 15 steps up to the funicular entrance, top and bottom stations, few concessions made by the French at Tignes to handiskiers)... well, impressive isn't the word.

mjg, this guy would have been on the lift on his way back up by the time I got to the bottom of the course, speed he was moving!

PG, you've taken some truly stunning photographs, both here and elsewhere. Have you posted any on snowMedia for possible inclusion in a calendar, it would be good if you did.

I remember seeing these guys getting on the chairlifts in La Plagne, one year most were quicker than ordinary folk!

Ive never tried anything like that sit ski (obviously since i dont need one), but is a crash in one of those not liable to break every other bone in your body?
