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 authoritative US magazine Ski Racing has just published its list of the top 100 junior ski racers (male and female) from around the world.
Every nation represented is a mountainous one, showing that Britain is not alone in not fielding a single junior racer within this elite group.
Here is the
Ski Racing report and listing.
Any comments?

I doubt GB would get one in there if it were the top 1000, forget the top 100. The way it is calculated all event skiers obviously get to the top of the list, but using the WC points system means you have to be in the top 30 in a discipline to score any points anyway. If you're 31st in each discipline in the world you end up with 0 points, while someone while someone around 20th in a single discipline but way down the list in all the others would creep in at the bottom of the list, so it's a bit of a strange way of comparing skiers. Especially mixing men and women - should be separate really.
Good to see Lucas Falcoz in there (68th) - his parents run the Chalets de l'Arc restaurant at Arc 2000.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Couple of Japanese in there at 63 and 66. Yes Japan is mountainous but most of them are not high, just densely wooded and too steep for any development or agriculture. And a Polish skier also. Would you consider Poland to be a mountainous country?

Yes, but not as mountainous as Tibet.
