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 disability ski group my daughter skis with -ice cool kids undertook their Everest challenge attempting to ski the vertical height of Everest at the weekend. Their only difficulty was it was undertaken at pembrey dri ski slope about 130 metres in length. I think it required. 169 runs. It was a team effort with kids with a variety of disabilities cerebral palsy, downs, partially sighted, autism and a variety of other physical challenges working together as a team to scale and ski down Everest (achieved twice). Some skiers had support with poles and some using sit skiers with support from various riders. My daughter even deigned to allow me to ski with her - either a sign of her increasing confidence in me or the absence of her favourite teenage riders
Well the challenge was achieved and the money goes towards getting about 30 disabled skiers to the alps. It's an amazing charity run entirely by volunteers. If anyone has got lucky on the lottery or feels like throwing a fiver at an amazing charity their virginmoney page is

when im skiing i always look at the skiline to see if i've done an Everest day, its usually been a great day when I do and it usually hurts too, so big congrats and a fiver on its way.
In fact wouldnt it be good if individual snowheads set themselves a individual goal and donated when they exceed it on their skiing hols.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks All. It was a great effort. Some of the individuals who founded this charity (a physio and her husband and their friends and then some parents) are amazing. The husband and wife combo Chris and Julie are very typical of those unsung heros who drive forward community actitivies and charities in this country. My other half described it very well - she doesn't like skiing - but describes our lives for being richer for having become involved with Ice Cool Kids
