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 :-)

Snowboarder recounts 8-day survival on Californian mountain
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

A snowboarder who spent 8 days lost in the High Sierra Nevada (California) last spring, has explained how the ski patrol cleared the mountain just as the visibility closed in. Eric LeMarque took a line he thought would get him to safety, but ended up stranded and completely disoriented. At this point his problems really set in...

After 7 nights alone on the mountain, against all the odds, Eric's ordeal continued with the amputation of both his frostbitten legs below the knee. He is a former Olympic ice hockey star and is now receiving help from the public to put together his life and pay for his rehabilitation.

An extract from the first chapter of his forthcoming survival story 'Lost Elements' (apparently in the form of a novel) is here.

If you're interested in how he survived - eating bark, pine nuts and sticks of bubble gum - this article from Times Online is comprehensive.
