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 avalanche in north-western Pakistan has killed 24 villagers digging for gemstones on a mountainside. The avalanche is believed to have been triggered by an aftershock of the 8 October earthquake which killed over 73,000 people in the region. The aftershock, which took place on Wednesday 28 December, is one of more than 1500 which have occurred since then.

An avalanche in the former Soviet republic of Tajikistan swept across a major highway, killing 7 people in two cars. The road, which links the capital Dushanbe with the country's second city Khudzand, was reportedly closed by emergency workers at the time of the accident, due to heavy snowfall.
