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 US army is recalling a couple of howitzers that it had given to US ski resorts for avalanche control. Apparently, they're needed in Iraq or Afghanistan. The guns replaced older ones that had a poor safety record and killed a ski patroller six years ago...

Naw, As I said at Epicski, from a picture I saw there, if all howitzers are liket hat, they are 105 mm howitzer, of the same kind used by the Italian mountain troops,
light and easy to carry up in the mountains of Afghanistan ...

I have heard a rumour that when the american piste patrollers are using howitzers to clear the slopes in, say Aspen, they actually aim for Sun valley or Lake Placid, to reduce the odds of hitting the correct slope.
