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 :-)

I'm going to be in the US at the end of March with a few days off in either Portland Oregon or Anchorage Alaska (up to me which). Which of the 2 would be the best choice for a couple of days skiing, preferably accesable by public transport? I tend to like bombing around on reds and some blacks
, not bothered about off-piste.

Mount Hood (Meadows, Timberline etc) is easily accessible from Portland but I'm not sure how good public transport is - likely to be ski-club type buses & maybe Greyhound but may not be great timing wise.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?
