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 :-)

easiski, living in the mountains and skiing through the season is the real way to be a real skier. These other things are displacement activities.

Are you familiar with Luton Parkway/Gatwick/Other station in the early hours of the morning?

Have you stood in the dark waiting for an early morning bus listening for the sounds of bombs?

Is your immediate answer to most repair questions duct tape?

Edit : Double post removed to avoid looking like a browser malfunction induced stalker. Obviously these all sound vaguely sinister but then surely there is a dark side to any hobby. I've never been heli-skiing but I'm sure Ride of the Valkyries would need to be on my MP3 player for the purpose wink
