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 :-)

I noticed the French winner had much longer Atomics than the Austrian in second.
Is there a standard length for racing skis ?
Longer used to be faster in the old days. I thought that notion had gone out the window now.

I thought they all skied on 215cm, with a 42m radius?
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Walchhofer was holding a pair of GS skis given to him for advertising purposes after he'd finished. I understand it's common practise for all the racers to have their skis swapped after they've finished.

And the skis/bindings are all whipped off to be measured/tested
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Yes, behind the display board that forms the "winner's enclosure" all the skii brands have a pair of recreational skis (normally GS) to hand to the ski racer for when they appear in front of the cameras.
