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 :-)

While the world's greatest wintersports athletes put their finishing touches to preparations ...
... the chronicle of corruption, cheating of construction workers, 5-times budget overspend ... and human rights abuses ... continues.
Owen Gibson sums up the state of affairs for The Guardian:

Quote:
The opposition figures Leonid Martynyuk and Boris Nemtsov claimed in a May report that up to $30bn of the budget had gone missing in "kickbacks and embezzlement" to close associates of Putin, claiming the Games had turned into a "monstrous scam".

It was never going to be anything else. I think that every future award of major tournaments (WC) and games will be a continuing spiral of ridiculous endemic corruption. They don't even bother hiding it anymore?

I think point of no return will be when Qatar gets winter olympics.
In fact, I should start my kids doing slalom down sand dunes so they might be in with medal shots
