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 :-)

Try looking at the websites of your favourite resorts, I downloaded one from www.valthorens.com. I'm also using a picture I took myself here

Hoppo, thanks - i'm looking at resort websites now... I was just wondering if there was a website that specialised in skiing/mountain wallpapers though...

btw, the snow in that picture you took looks great - where was it? Toofy Grin Laughing

Some stunning ones - but for SCGB members only, I'm afraid Sad
One other thing, the largest resolution is 1024x768 - though I don't find having a border off-putting.

oasis13, didn't realise there was a difference just thought perhaps wallpaper was a trendier way of saying screensaver!!

sarah@alpedhuez, a wallpaper tends to be the picture you have on your desktop and all your icons are on top of it. A screensaver is something that you set up to come on after a set period of time (usually 10 minutes) and it is usually a moving animation or a slide show of pictures. The screensaver completely hides your deskop and is designed to protect your monitor. Very Happy

I have a folder full of skiing pictures which i have on a slideshow for my screensaver Laughing (sad, I know Razz )

There was a beautiful shot I saw used as wallpaper at an internet cafe in Chamonix - snow-clad pine trees in the mountains. The proprietor told me he found it on Windows, though I've since searched high and low. Maybe it's just on the French version of Windows?

sarah@alpedhuez, that was the view from my apartment the first season I did with First Choice. Apartment had a double bedroom, spare bedroom, separate kitchen (unheard of!) and a huge living room featuring a log fire and that view off the balcony. And I had it all to myself! I'm sure someone must have made a mistake there, but I wasn't about to complain.

sarah@alpedhuez, what, you know the apartment then? It was five floors up with no lift. Laughing Mr L carried a 1/2 stere of firewood all the way up there once - he's obsessed with open fires for some reason.
