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 'Save the Ciste' Campaign for the reinstatement of the Ciste Chairlifts at Cairn Gorm is alive and well in 2011, and the future of the lifts gains support from an unlikely source:

For interested parties, there is further information about the cause (incl petition) on our
website
, which I'd invite interested persons to view/sign. We were very grateful for the support snowHeads gave us last winter, so hope that you'll continue to keep spreading the good word!
More information/material will be arriving on the website shortly - but in the meantime the video should provide a reasonable overview! Stay tuned!!

when I see somebody's done another version of that clip. But I do like that one
Good luck with the campaign!
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I think last year June was a proper testimonial as to how well placed the WWC is. It could have run and served the ciste gully with return over the boardwalk the 5th of june. Some 6? weeks after the WWP had to stop due to loosing the uptrack!

Thanks to both for your responses and for supporting the petition.
Ronald: completely agree. The West Wall Poma ran on a total of 57 days last winter. By contrast, the Ciste Gully was complete to the Chairlift boardwalk from 6th December - 6th June - a total of 182 days potential!!
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.
