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 :-)

We're getting to that part of the season when warmer daytime temps and sub zero at night can mean some pretty icy conditions, especially early on.

Any tips? Mine are:
- Look for the more remote pistes, less skied out, at higher altitude, or the ones that catch the sun earlier.
- Stick to the edges of the piste, or the outside of bends, more snow there... (with the proviso that you do need to know what you're doing!)
- Icy patches are usually easily seen in advance, keep alert and aim to turn in the patches of snow left by other skiers' turns.
- Keep feet apart in a wider stance than usual, if you lose an outside edge, you can more easily regain balance...
- Don't let 'fear' make you sit back on your skis, if there's one time you need your weight spread equally right through the ski, it's now.
- Remember it's rarely true ice, just hard-pack. So with well-sharpened edges and good technique you'd be surprised just what you can turn on.
- Gentle, smooth turns, no sudden movements, not too fast, but not too slow either.
- Don't panic, if you start to slide, just stay well over your skis til the edges bite again.

None of the above work? Head for the bar.

Like the advice - have a week off work booked for 17th april - never been this late before in the season so worried about ice in the morning and slush in the afternoon.
Still its better than being in the office!

Progressive movements instead of sudden, jerky movements. Sharp skis and good lateral support from the boots and you can actually arc on it!
