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 :-)

The Castleford Ski Test November 2013 (CASkiTest_Nov2013) will run from 11AM to 4PM on Sat 16 Nov 2013


After our Ski Test in September turned out to be so popular, we've arranged a series of tests this November, in partnership with and co-promoted by Ellis Brigham as 'The Big Ski'.

The SnowZone Castleford event will be on 16th Nov.

The Ellis Brigham test stock will be there again (Those who met them at the EoSB know their test fleet is extensive) we can also expect Armada, Blizzard, Kneissl, Nordica and Rossignol who have all confirmed they'll be there.
We've also invited Whitedot, DPS and Kneissl.

This is a great chance to checkout the new models for the coming season. Whether you're looking to buy/upgrade this Winter or not, it's always good to experience different skis - teaches U a lot about your skiing! And besides, it great fun to hang out with a bunch of other snowHeads playing with skis! snowHead

The session will run from 11am to 4PM.
It's not easy getting discount in these places in November but we've actually got ourselves a really good price of:
£35 for a 4 hour slot during the session (or £30 for super/mega-snowHeads).
So choose whether you want your ticket to run from 11-3pm or 12-4pm.

Hit the button above and then select the 'Sign me up' option.

Everybody coming needs to sign up from their own snowHeads account (yes even kids) so if you've got a +1, please sort them out with their own snowHeads ID.
(I've made this big as no-one seemed to read it and I kept getting asked for +1's)

Are you coming to the CASkiTest_Nov2013?

N0rthernMonkey, that's my preference too but a number of the reps need to travel to and from the event on the day so naturally don't like getting home way after mid-night.

Will EB have any skis for Mini snowHeads to have a play with? And will the slope be just for the ski test or open to others for use, I'll have the kids with me that weekend and while toastertalby is a skier talbyem is a snowboarder.

EB haven't any kids demo skis to put out on the test - I'll ask around with the brands but I'm pretty sure they won't either. What kind of size were you thinking?

The slope will be open as usual.

Any questions, from any Snowheads, just fire away and I'll try and get the answers.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:
toastertalby is 9 and skis on skis around the 120-125cm mark, guessed you wouldn't have any as I know some petite adults who've struggled to find skis their size to try out. A pity there won't be any as she and lots of other mini snowHeads are plenty good enough to enjoy and appreciate the difference between different skis. For example she currently chooses between her Trixie Pros or Head Supershapes depending on if she wants to do tricks or go fast and its always a bit of gamble picking the next set when she grows out of a pair (the trixies are getting a bit small now) as nowhere seems to have a decent range she can try.

897sma, you have to walk up to someone who you think may be a snowhead and say 'Are you frosty the snowman?'.

I am getting there about 12 - see you then (and I will explain the above).

The first time I met any Snowheads in Real Life, it was at a ski gathering at ... Castleford Smile and it was Achilles who I made first contact with.

Well another great event organised by Admin and his team. Had a great day tried lots of skis. Favourite skis where Scott The Ski felt totally at home with them. Also the Blizzard Bonafide. Wish I could have done this before I bought new skis. Cool
