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 :-)

For boarders feeling disturbed by the encroaching Phattness of the ever Phatter skis out there, Elan have released the phattest snowboard yet.
This adds to their range which already boasts the lightest production board on the planet (The Inverse)....
Elan Says:
Quote:
With the widest board on the market, Elan is proud to introduce a new category set to make riders with larger feet happy as hell – super wide shapes. Easily accomodating boot sizes that other boards shy away from, the super wide shapes feature a significantly reduced width across the nose and tail of the board thanks to Elan’s patented Omega Sidecut technology. A straight sidecut has been designed to replace the traditionally rounded shape of a board’s tip and tail. Besides reducing the width of the nose and tail, the Omega Sidecut significantly increases rider stability and control when riding, jumping and landing.
“I think the idea is brilliant – it’s simplicity in its purest form but maybe that’s exactly why nobody has done it before. Take the widest board in the world and combine it with the sickest invention snowboarding has seen for a long time: the Omega Sidecut. If you thought a super wide board might be tricky to handle, then think again.”, states the Elan International Team Rider Aleksi Vanninen.
Packed with torsion-reinforcing Carbon 90 Beam and V2 Sidewalls, the El Grande is easily controllable in all snow conditions and offers performance on a level with any of the narrower boards on the market.
