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 :-)

Do any snowheads do this ?
There is a film about it on ski TV that prompts as many questions as it answers.
It seems to be a skateboard platform without wheels mounted on top of a regular ski.
You stand on the skateboard bit. I am not entirely sure if there are bindings.
The enthusiasts compare it to surfing but I was not able to see any advantage over snowboarding from the film.

No but I did see some guys wind"surfing" (or should that be windsnowing?) down a mountain in a Warren Miller film!
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

, It was not called that in the film.
They reference a website
www.snow-surf.com
but when you click on it they have all gone fishing.
Other SCGB members may be able explain this better than I can.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

, I had another look. It is also called barefoot boarding. They may not have bindings but they seemed to do summersaults without holding on to the gear. I googled barefoot boarding and this shows them in action :-

What is the advantage - unless you have big plates, which no longer scrape the ground ?
