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 :-)

After a week on stony Italian pistes my B3s need some base attention. whilst browsing online I note that apart from the normal graphite candle there is a also a graphite powder. Toddtwist on eBay is also selling a Demon "solar activated p-tex". Anybody tried either of these alternatives and if so how do results compare with the good old candle?

I prefer to use pure ptex strip/ribbon and melt it in with a blowtorch kind of thing I bought in Bartletts. Seems to bond much better than candles (which have a certain amount of wax in the mix to enable it to burn and often leads to a less good bond with the ski's base).
