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 :-)

The World Cup ski race circus arrived at Beaver Creek, Colorado, for this weekend's downhill, only to find too much snow on the course! Race officials are busy clearing the excess from a carefully-prepared artificial snow surface.
While this takes place, training has been delayed for a day...
This report from
Vail Daily News.
Quote:
That bullet-proof surface that most skiers fear and loathe is ideal for racers, and a lot of work is required to achieve such a rock-hard surface. Almost three feet of new snow is detrimental to that process. As fast as the snow began to fall three days ago, race organizers began working just as fast to remove it from the Birds of Prey course. In turn, having only one day for training/qualifying runs poses a disadvantage for the athletes.
"Any time the guys can ski on the terrain is advantageous to get an idea of the surface, but the surface is going to be nothing like this," said U.S. men's head coach Phil McNichol.
