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 :-)

Looks like Quiksilver won't be hitting the slopes this season -- or selling equipment to skiers and snowboarders, at least. Of course, the company never should have taken on the mountain in the first place. Just two and half years after purchasing its winter-sports brand, Quiksilver is reportedly considering three different offers for its Rossignol division.
The company plans to keep the brand name and continue a Rossignol apparel line, but it wants to unload the hard goods segment. Quiksilver has done well selling well-known clothing lines like Roxy and DC Shoes to its target teen market, but I think it made a serious error in buying the entirety of Rossignol two years ago. The ski maker had been facing declining sales and rising costs before the buyout, while losing market share to
K2
and others.

Oh rats!
My Bandit XX's we're trashed by all my rock hooping last season, and I was hoping to get replacements.
Maybe time to consider switching allegiance, and - shock horror - the lazy b***** option of wider skis.
poo.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

It's kind of weird for me as I seem to meet Quiksilver's target demographic without meaning to. My golf clubs are Cleveland (bought over by Rossignol), my skis are Rossis (bought over by Quiksilver) and my jacket is Quiksilver
. Are there any other sporting goods companies that Quiksilver own? Are they the sports equivalent of Nestle?
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

If your snowboard's a Lib Tech, your girlfriend/wife wears Roxy, you'd like to buy some Dynastars, you've got Look pedals for your bike, wear Etnies shoes IIRC..chances are
