Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I was fascinated by the prospect of some horse dancing/jumping on skis so clicked the link. The truth is somewhat more prosaic.

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

I did get a bit of stick because my guest is an ex professional racer and he was the fastest by a long way, and even a lot faster than the ESF guy who opened the course.
I was chatting with his then fiancee (now wife) at the closing dinner.
She hinted that she might enjoy a guest spot another time.
"Have you done any ski racing?" I asked
"A bit"
"Oh, how much, any good results?"
"Well I was Under 14,16 and 17 World Champion in Slalom and GS but had to give it up for lack of funding from my national association"
"OK, you can be our guest!!"

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

LOL - Hi, Clerk to the Guild of Freemen - Clerk to the Guild of Entrepreneurs, here. Small world, eh?
We had but one doughty representative last year, but have got four (maybe five) turning out for us in January. This includes yours truly (and explained my recent and hasty purchase of a dog-eared pair of skis this weekend).
The comments about ringers is a bit close to home. A chap called Talan Skeels-Piggins is one of the team - former Navy officer, motivational speaker, competition motorcyclist and, erm, Paralympic Skier...!
We wheezing amateurs are pinning all our hopes on him, though I think it’ll all balance out in the team competition!
