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 :-)

Given many won’t be venturing far especially early season I thought this might be useful. It’s a face book group, also there’s a lot of useful links here.
“A group for people interested in Skiing, Snowboarding and Telemarking off-piste on the British Isles. Please upload any videos, pictures and routes you've done or hope to do. We assume that viewers who choose to follow where others have gone before have the knowledge, experience and equipment to do so safely.
