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 :-)

Today's Guardian has a feature by Stuart Millar about the Callaghan Valley, 20 miles from Whistler - a source of solitude and secret powder skiing. It's not lift-served, so it's a venue for ski tourers and heli skiers - read it
here.
.
He warns that the 2010 Winter Olympics, which will feature cross-country skiing in this valley, may change things forever so "you better get there soon".
Anyone else know this place?

I heard some noises from a local skier in Whistler last year (old friendly codger) about great potential for new ski area up the road from Whistler - think he called it callaghan valley but may have not caught it correctly, my ears were frozen solid in -30 temps. Anyhoo, he seemed to say that the area was ripe for expansion, that the land had been bought for development but local objections were holding up the next step - also there was some talk that the native canadians still had rights to the area and they were unwilling to develop it further.
..just a conversation caught going up a ski lift ... don't have any back-up evidence
