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 :-)

French ski lift investments break all records
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

French ski resorts have spent more on new lifts and snowmaking in 2004 than any previous year: 348.5 million Euros invested, up 7.5% on 2003. Of the ski lift manufacturers, France-based Poma took 62% of the business, Doppelmayr of Austria took 17%...

On snowRacers yesterday a post referring to the second part of this article, where the support of the new 'economic partners' for the French Ski Team and Ski Federation is discussed. The way forward for the cash-strapped British Federation?

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

But aren't the Scottish ski lift operators even more cash-strapped than the federation ? Or were you thinking more of the organisations in the last para of your post ? Can't see it happening - what's in it for them ? Anyone putting significant funds in has to have some say - I have no problem with that. The problems might arise when SCGB, for example, seem to have a say but no-one can find out how much, if anything, they contribute(d).
