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 :-)

Annual conference of European orthopaedists
Contrary to what people think skiing injuries are decreasing
Since 1979/80 there has been a 50% reduction per 1000 in injuries
Most frequent injuries were still ligament injuries of the knee.
The second most affected is the hip, followed by the shoulder.
Ten percent of the injuries affect the head.
Many skiers are exhausted after 2 hours so most injuries occur in the afternoon , fatiigue playing a big part.
