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 :-)

Actually, what Chemmy said was "I'm dating Dougie Crawford" (guess where he used to ski) ... and said some positive things about Scottish skiing ... ah, the magic of romance, the Scottish Highlands, oatcakes and snogs by the fireside ...


Chemmy and Dougie. Teeth as white as Cairngorm powder!

Getting back to the JOURNALISM ... 'You and Yours' (the programme we are reviewing here) has said a lot about the Chris Reynard school skiing scandal over the years, interviewing the victims and schools etc.

A bit of the discussion today focused on the decline of school skiing, with Chemmy pointing out that her school (Surbiton High) now has a "renowned Ski Race Club" (in the school's own proud words). She said there was nothing when she first joined the school. Check it out:

http://www.surbitonhigh.com/senior-school/view/3049/Skiing

There you go - every school needs just one skiing superstar, and the future growth of British skiing is assured.

James Cove has written up his experience of going back to the Beeb (his former employer) to do the You and Yours interview. It's a lovely piece ...

http://www.planetski.eu/news/4417

Quote:
Should I have corrected Chemmy Alcott when she said it was good in Scotland last winter and bad in Europe as it was actually the other way round?

And as for the number of people who ski in Scotland that the presenter read out in his introduction... the figures he refered to were skier days not skiers. The five Scottish ski area would rather like to have had 200,000 people skiing on their slopes last winter.


Quote:
As I walked back out of the BBC I kind of missed the place as it was buzzing. But then I thought of where I would be in a week's time.

Heading to Alta Badia in Italy before going on to Maria Alm in Austria and then heading round to Tignes and Val Thorens. Shortly after is a long Xmas at home and then out to teach for a ski schoool in Verbier for a couple of weeks over New Year.

The 'spag' bit is hard to get wrong but the 'bol' part can have ingredients that range from cat food in a tomato and basil sauce, right through to finest Aberdeen Angus. Done well it's great but most often the chalet staff must be tempted to buy cheapo mince and they ain't got a clue about seasoning. It's all very well the French banning ski hosts but some of the bigger crimes are in the kitchen.

Is there any ski website with a lower standard of journalism and content than Planetski?

Just saw an article on there today whose only purpose is to sarcastically badmouth someone else's ski journalism.
