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 the US state of Montana last Saturday, which killed two snowmobilers, is reckoned to have been one of the most dramatic in the region's history.
The powerful slide, which resulted from a week of wet heavy snow, descended Red Meadow Peak into a lake. Witnesses recall a tremendous force, blowing water and fish out of the lake.

Quote:
Stan Bones of the Glacier Country Avalanche Center.
“The shock wave crushed the snow and ice surface across the entire lake,” said Stan Bones of the Glacier Country Avalanche Center. “[It] caused a tidal wave to crash onshore along its northerly edge. The greatest focus of this tsunami of water, snow and ice was the northeasterly corner and outlet areas, where the victims were standing.”
Christopher Schmalz, 21, and Danelle Bloom, 22, “were quickly overrun by a wall of snow, water, broken ice and broken trees,” Bones reported.
