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 :-)

Araldite have put out a news release claiming that their epoxy glue came to the rescue of Italian slalom champion Giorgio Rocca when his boots broke between the two legs of a slalom in Kranskja Gora, Slovenia.
Quote:
A run in a brand new pair proved uncomfortable, with potentially worrying implications for Rocca’s performance, so emergency action was needed to repair his old favourites before the second and final leg of the competition, and a win was clinched.

It's not clear whether the Araldite was used on the inner boot or the shell - let alone what it actually held together - but apart from that this is quite a novel press release!
Can't say I've ever used Araldite on a pair of boots, but gaffer tape's certainly come in handy from time to time!

Isn't Araldite preformance enhancing?
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Don't know - I've never sniffed it
Well, at least, I've never sniffed it before skiing
