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 :-)

Mammoth ski area fined $50,000 for ski deaths

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
State regulators have fined Mammoth Mountain Ski Area almost $50,000 for several job safety violations relating to the deaths of three ski patrol members in April this year. The men were trying to fence off a toxic volcanic fumarole near a piste, when the snow collapsed and two of them fell in. ...The third patrol member died while trying to rescue his colleagues. All three died from lack of oxygen due to the presence of carbon dioxide gas. Seven more patrol members were seriously injured due to the carbon dioxide gas spewing from the vent.
The California Department of Industrial Relations’ Division of Occupational Safety and Health, the state's workplace safety enforcer, found that the catastrophic event might not have occurred if standard practices had been followed.
