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 Herminator (Eurosport)
There were several surprises on the podiums in the FIS Alpine World Cup events this weekend over in the US. Tessa Worley of France got her first World Cup podium and win in the Aspen giant slalom on Saturday. Tanja Poutiainen (Finland) and Elisabeth Goergl (Austria) came second and third, respectively. The results from the men’s Alpine Ski World Cup season-opening downhill at Lake Louise were also surprising. Peter Fill of Italy won - his first career win. Second place went to Carlo Janka (Switzerland), his first World Cup podium, and third place went to Hans Olsson (Sweden), also his first podium. ...In the men’s super G today, Hermann Maier (Austria) won with half a second on the rest of the field. John Kucera (Canada) and Didier Cuche (Switzerland) came second and third, respectively.
In the ladies slalom, Sarka Zahrobska (Czech Republic) came first, with Nicole Hosp (Austria) and Tanja Poutiainen (Finalnd), coming second and third, respectively.

Maier skied a blinder, and with a herniated disc or something...be nice for him to hit some past form on whats bound to be one of his last full seasons.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

papasmurf, 37 years old now and still putting the rest of the field behind him...awesome. Would imagine he'll be keen to stay on until the Olympics in 2010? Go out on one 'last hurrah'?

Yeah I reckon if he stays major injury free he'll do the Olympics and retire after that.

In an Austrian newspaper interview Maier revealed that he was considering retiring earlier this year but after his initial training sessions produced good results he decided to carry on with the aim of getting one win. His comments were that of a top athelete who realizes he's getting older. Maier is 36 on Sunday. If he continues to achieve good results he may carry on but by 2010 he will be 38, my money would be on him retiring at the end of this season.
