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 :-)

BoarderX, skierX, dangerous sports... and this didn't even happen while racing against others, by all accounts. Face-off "contact" sports, the future of competitive boarding and skiing, some believe.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I'm not sure that any contact was involved in this accident. According to the Ski Racing website: "While negotiating a technical section of the course, the double rollers, she fell awkwardly on her head and neck".
In a training event I guess that the racers involved descent the course alone and not head-to-head, but maybe someone can shed some light on that?

In training club skiers here mostly negotiate the course on their own. In fact some competitions are based on timed runs, with individual descents. Not so popular for spectators though. Skiers have to do some practice simulating face-off race conditions - a different ball game. The kids love it - scares me though, some lack the maturity to know when to add the brake...
