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 :-)

An Austrian company is doing good business kitting out snowdomes with impact nets and padding ... for skiers who ... err ... miss those turns.
Meingast, which was founded no less than 120 years ago, has been busy installing specialist foam panels and suspended nets at the Xscape domes in Milton Keynes and Castleford, snowdomes in Germany and Holland ... and "120 cubic meters of collision protection elements" for the new Ski Dubai dome. They also explain: "This standard so far was only requested for closed institutions and detention cells."

Ever ended up sprawled in a net, or flattened against a pad?
Ever ended up in a closed institution or detention cell?

Not in a snowdome but I have bounced off a crashpad at the bottom of the lauberhorn race track
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

At churchill dry ski slope my daughter 11 who had only had three lessons and was doing really well controlling her speed and turning when she caught a piece of sticking up plastic bristle stuff, she wobbled and squatted back on her skis and went from the top of the slope into the netting in 4 seconds, We know it was 4 seconds because my wife was videoing her. She flipped when hit the netting I thought she was dead (Never been so scared) because of the cruch when she her skis hit the fence behind the netting. Cut a long story short she ended up in hospital with whiplash. This was after the wife had broken her wrist the previous week at Churchill on her first lesson. In case your wondering I never went again instead a 2hr drive to tamworth was in order.
Crossing my fingers they will all survive the trip to france!
