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 :-)

Alpine skiing great Ingemar Stenmark is still wowing audiences with his skill between the poles at the age of 68 – but this time, it’s in pole vault.

The Swedish sporting legend, who won two Winter Olympic golds in his career, took part in the world masters athletics championship, clearing three metres to wild applause from the crowd.

Stenmark, who also won five world alpine ski gold medals in slalom and giant slalom, he finished eighth in Final A of the men’s 65-69 age category. He posted a video of himself clearing a home-made pole vault on Instagram last week, along with the caption: “The gym was busy”.

Stenmark retired from Alpine World Cup skiing in 1989 but his record of 86 career wins stood until March 2023, when American Mikaela Shiffrin broke it. He still holds the record for the biggest win margin in a World Cup alpine race, winning by 4.06 seconds in 1979.

Paying tribute to Shiffrin in 2023, Stenmark said: “She’s much better than I was. You cannot compare. She has everything … she can ski well both in slalom and in super-G and downhill also. I could never have been so good in all disciplines.”
