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 :-)

England's permanent ski areas - the seven sites served by button lifts and rope tows in Cumberland, Northumberland and County Durham - are maintained by local clubs and volunteers.
Here's news of this year's summer/autumn maintenance at two of the sites - Yad Moss and Raise - making sure that everything's up and running for the first snow this winter. It's in the news section of
The Boarder.
If you want to know more about skiing up north, this is the place to look:
The Ski Resorts of Northern England.
Anyone want to share any experiences of skiing at Raise, Yad Moss, Allenheads, Castleside, Harwood, Langdon Beck, or Swinhope? A
snowHeads award
(yet to be determined) goes to anyone who's skied all seven hills!

, my eye was caught by the first item on The Boarder:"Easy Access to the slopes with Swatch"
(I've just quickly checked you haven't posted this elsewhere - you haven't, have you?).
A neat idea I thought, and clicked on to
myskipass.com
to find only 5 resorts in France involved as opposed to 19 from Switzerland and 17 from Austria. What's up with the French?
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Although 5 of those 19 Swiss ones are all Davos.

It would be funny to see that technology applied to a rope tow on the Pennines!
The Swatch system has been going for years. It's an adaptation of the Snow Data system, based in Austria, for 'smart card' use of ski lifts and shopping in resorts.
The French have always been reluctant to drop photo-based lift passes, and lots of people are employed to check that they've not been transferred to other users. Many a Val d'Isere skier has been caught using someone else's lift pass.
Perhaps the lifties' unions in France have had some influence on this, too.
