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 US magazine Skiing has discovered an extraordinary Slovakian skier who carries between 130 and 150 pounds of supplies to his mountain hut 'Chata pod Rysmi', the highest of a string of backcountry huts that dot Slovakia's Tatra Mountains.
There's a great photo of Viktor Beranek and his formidable 'backpack' in
this article.
Quote:
Viktor carries 150-pound kegs of beer, jars of sauerkraut, bricks of butter and cheese, chocolate wafers, coffee, huge sacks of potatoes, bundles of chicken legs, bags of bread, toilet paper, and lantern oil. He's carried mattresses, plates, chairs, a cruiser bike, a fake bearskin rug, a half-dozen sailor suits.
It's a 6-page feature - enjoy!
