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 :-)

Are the winches for hauling the machines up or as a safety back up? (ie they just take up the slack)
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

They always use winches for snow groomers on the steeper slopes

@BoardieK
, as iainm says - pretty much standard on everything above a blue (and used on some of the steeper blues in the 3V...). The winch provides a fair amount of their traction and means that the tracks churn up the snow less (as they are not trying to provide all the traction for the machine) and allow a much better finish to the piste (ie corduroy rather than cookies...).
