Mail for help.Help!!
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 :-)

Some news from the Ghanian ski team
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

I've just received an e-mail and some pictures from Kwame (our very own snowleopard)

Quote:

Hello all

I am proud to inform you that I have made it into the world championships in Are Sweden.

My main aim is to put down 2 good runs in the giant slalom qualifying race on the 12th for athletes not in the top 50 position.

Though I am also qualified to race slalom, I am not as sure of myself as I am in giant slalom, (in terms of my ability to ski fast). Thus on the 17th I pray that I perform creditably, laying down a basis for future major competitions.

Please find attached some pictures of the new racing suit and uniform for Are. With the help of Vist, we have been able to come out with a real leopard print suit, and ski uniform. Also I have worked with Osbe helmets in Italy to produce the pro snowleopard helmet, as well as a Dolomite snowleopard ski boot. Proceeds from the sale of some of these items will be used to further develop the Ghaan Ski Team, as we have a project to deelop a grass ski centre in Ghana, as well as support the snowleopard Conservation Trust with the efforts to save the endangeared snowleopard.

I look forward to a good games in Sweden

Regards

Kwame

That's good news for Kwame, I love the fact that he's managed to get a snow leopard print costume, it should certainly make him stand out on the slopes Little Angel

You gotta love this guy. The merchandise looks great although not sure it compliments my wardrobe.

He's got a start number of 97 in today's qualification race. I'd imagine it'll be a little tough to qualify from back there Sad

After all it is free Go on u know u want to!

I have to say, that whilst I don't think he has a hope in hell (unless there are a lot of crashes) of getting into even the top 20 I really admire his spirit and his efforts to do well, I really hope that I'm wrong and that he somehow manages to get a fantastic result.

As an individual I wish I had just 1/10th of his drive and determination as it is an inspiration to everyone to do better, now if British sportsmen and women could just get similar inspiration perhaps we could get a bit more pride in this country wink

I agree with DG Orf that the guy is an inspiration - I wish I could find just a little of commitment he has Embarassed .

However, there was a short clip of him on the TV news last night skiing at MK and I didn't think he looked up to much, I'm afraid. He's clearly way better than I could ever be but he didn't look like a world-class skiier to me - as evidenced by his last-place finish.

Just seen the results of the qualifying race on Eurosport's website. Bad news the sight says;

"Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong has also pulled out of the championships, returning home after failing to qualify for Wednesday's giant slalom."
. You can read the article here

Lets hope he keeps the faith and makes it at Val D'Isere in 2009.
