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 :-)

"This is an excellent interactive training CD.

You can go here to order your own copy. When you go to the main page, there is the letters D, E, and F in the top lefthand corner. Click on E for English to check it out. "

I absolutely agree with her. The CD's well worth getting

Agree that this book is amazing, I happen to have skied with the author Wink but beyond that this book covers every aspect of skiing that any skier looking to head of piste would ever need. Awesome.

I've just ordered this Whiterisk CD too, I've heard it being recommended before. Will post review on receiving it...

I like Bruce Tremper's "Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain". He runs the Utah Avalanche Centre so should know what he's talkingabout... here
