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 :-)

I've a mate who's 6' and about 18 1/2 stone. He can get down most runs without much style at all, he doesn't ski off piste or bumps and only carves the sunday roast. He's asked me to help him look for his first pair of skis.
I'm thinking of a "reacreational" ski at about 175cm, will that be a bit noodly?
Should I try for a stiffer ski because of his weight?
Cheers

Yes and yes.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?
