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 :-)

German cross-country skiers can look forward to a 1km underground artificial snow tunnel in Oberhof, following a statement by the federal interior minister Otto Schilly.
This will provide an all-year training facility for German athletes...
The idea has been inspired by the world's only facility of this type - the DNA Ski Tunnel in Vuokatti, Finland, which was built in 1997.
This report (in German) from
Handelsblatt.com.
For an idea of what's planned, here's the website of the
DNA Ski Tunnel.

..... by name and by nature..... any one else feel this is a waste of money? Why can't the presumably few German cross-country top class skiers simply use the Finnish facilty. Better to have one well-used rather than 2 white elephants. It's not as if it can be used for anything other than serious training for that discipline. Daft, I reckon.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

But Ian, it's only going to cost 21 million Euros. And maybe they want to do things in their tunnel that they don't want the Finns to know about.
Good of you to protest on behalf of the German taxpayer, though!

As opposed to the Allies that didn't want the Germans to know about what was going on in their tunnels
