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 :-)

World Cup events threatened by weather
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Heavy snowfall at Cortina d’Ampezzo (Italy) has forced organisers to cancel training for the women's Downhill World Cup today, for a second day in a row. It is hoped that training can be held on Friday, before Saturday's Downhill. The Super-g scheduled for Friday, to replace the one cancelled in Aspen in December, has been called off and now pencilled in for Monday. However , hopefully Sunday's originally scheduled Super-g is to go ahead as planned. ...

In Kitzbuehel, Austria, organisers called off Thursday's men's third Downhill training session to protect the Hahnenkamm course. Weather forecasts for the weekend, starting with Friday's World Cup Super-g and Saturday's Downhill and Slalom on Sunday are not favourable.

The first two training sessions on the Downhill run had already claimed a number of victims. On Tuesday, Czech Ondrej Bank suffered a double leg fracture after a spectacular crash, while Austrian Patrick Hinterseer broke his sixth and seventh thoracic vertebra. On Wednesday, Austria's Andreas Buder suffered a fractured leg in a heavy crash, while Marco Sullivan (US) crashed badly, but escaped injury.
