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 :-)

Bet Benni is pee'd off that his girlfriend (Marlies Schild) earned more than he did this year. Wink

Unusual these days for the girls to earn more than the guys - good luck to 'em...

IMT, Although the women did earn more points as well, however, they definately seem to earn more CHF/point as well. How does prize money compare in each event? Or were there more womens events this season than mens due to cancelations?

Isn't it because the prize money is not distributed the same as the points? This suits a person who is in the first few for many races but doesn't finish anywhere in others but runs against someone who actually scores more points by being more consistent without the big wins.

DB, That's a fair point, however, ignoring points the women appear to be earning significantly more than the men. This doesn't bother me I'm just interested in why.
