Mail for help.Help!!

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 :-)

America’s Steigler injured in Giant Slalom, Austria

Resi Stiegler, America's Giant Slalom national champion, was hospitalised with a broken left forearm, torn ligaments in her right knee and a bruised face and hip after crashing halfway down the course during the women's World Cup Giant Slalom race in Lienz (Austria) today. Apparently, she will be unable to race for several weeks. Denise Karbon (Italy) won the event with a combined time of 2:2.73. Julia Mancuso (US) finished 2nd, 1.28 seconds behind, while Nicole Gius (Italy) was 3rd, 1.62 seconds behind Karbon.
...Stiegler lost balance as her skis made contact in a curve. She then fell and went through two rows of gates at the edge of the course and rolled down about another 2m. The gates were supposed to break a crash and prevent the skier from dropping down the slope, but race director Siegried Vergeiner denied the course security was inadequate. The race was interrupted for almost half an hour after the crash.

Austrian skier Hans Grugger will miss the rest of the World Cup season after surgery on his left knee today, needed after injuries probably caused in November at a downhill training run in Lake Louise (US), the Austrian Ski Federation said in a statement.
