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 :-)

A great article on snow grooming by the man who test drives Bombardier's new models. From
SKI Magazine
But a caution that good grooming can actually increase the risks for the less able skiers
Quote:
Much of what grooming is about, Bowden thinks, is making tough terrain accessible to less-skilled skiers. Throughout the industry, there's a sense that this may be a dangerous side effect of the increasing focus on grooming. "The safest black-diamond trails are bump trails, because they keep everybody's speed down," says Dave Mosher, vice president of mountain operations at Vermont's Sugarbush. Grooming that eliminates moguls can tempt skiers to get in over their heads.
