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

All you need to do is register, and there's a box on the RHS that gives you a link to nominees and allows you to nominate. 50 nominations and you get listed

I'll be nominating too but have noticed that one of the sponsors in the SCGB. Hope the representing panel member is not one of those responsible for the decision of locking us out or is that me being cynical??

John Saunders from www.snowawards.co.uk was on one of the other posts in On Piste thread 'The Snow Awards - What is the best Winter Website? ' to state that the data they collect will not be used for any eroneous purposes and that

| Thanks to all of you who voted so far. It is not a scam. It is just an new independant event, established to reward and recognise what is now a massive industry in the UK. |

We do not intend to sell any of the database. We ask for this information so that all votes are to the best of our knowledge legitimate and can be accounted for. This will help to make them as accurate as possible and discourage multi voting.
The awards will be held in November (a time when alot of the industry is in the UK for other events) and so we have decided to leave the voting open as late as possible. |

Hi Folks!
I just got back from 2 weeks in Eastern Canada (including some enjoyable skiing at Mont Tremblant and Le Massif) and logged onto the SCGB website, only to discover the closure of the open forum and the protests about it on the SCGB members-only forum, to which I have now added my own.
All kudos to U Brain and others for setting up snowheads.com - the phpBB plaftorm is undoubtedly an improvement over the previous software. I can well understand that some former Registered Users of the SCGB forum feel aggrieved and wish to have nothing further to do with the SCGB. However, as already discussed elsewhere, in the longer term snowheads will have to address issues of bandwidth/ storage and running costs (voluntary donations, advertising or even membership fee  ). If, as I very much hope it will, the SCGB re-opens its discussion forums to all, there may be potential for mutually beneficial co-operation between the two e.g at one extreme the SCGB could if agreed integrate snowhead back into its website, keeping the phpBB format and volunteer moderators and paying the running costs, or if snowheads.com wishes to remain an independant entity at least both sites can have appropriate links to each other.
If we can re-establish a single forum (with the improved bulletin board software and volunteer moderation of snowheads with the running costs covered by the SCGB) then some good may come out of the SCGB's mistaken previous decision (P.S As regards the Council's erroneous decision I always believe more in the theory of cock-up than conspiracy)

Hi there Alastair, nice to see you around. 
As you'll have gathered there has been two weeks of vigorous argument going on inside the Ski Club member only forum. The solutions you outline are something I think most of us can support but we are awaiting a decision from Ski Club. Personally, having acted rather bizzarrely in the first instance, I don't see them making what I consider to be the right decision in the future.
I understand that quite a number of people here have been associated with Ski Club for many years and are keen to see their old friend see the error of its ways.
