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 :-)

Thought this might be of interest in particular to beginners.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

This sound like "Ski Evolutif" which started up in the 1970's in Les Arcs. Here first day skiers started of on 1 metre skis and progressed through the week moving up on the length of the skis daily. No poles were used initially getting the pupils to swing their bodies to make the turn. Was quite popular in those days but haven't heard of it recently. Seemed a a logical way of teaching at the time!
A search on Google reveals a few organisations that still use this learning regime. I think it is probably as good as any way to get one skiing parallel in a few days, just not that fashionable at the moment.

Not sure I like the sound of "skiing starts from the knee down". I always thought it started from the snow up
