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 :-)

Definately get a face mask if you don't have one already.
And LOTS of layers.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Yes - lots and lots of layers. We went to Finland in March and it was -30 some days (went down to -40 at night)
Expect to take more hot choccy breaks than usual and when you do go inside you have to be very quick at getting those layers off before you pass out!
We also found that if we went out in the evening we wore our ski suits - going outside in normal clothes, even with ski jacket, was too cold.
Despite the cold I loved it - the skiing was not as varied/exciting as the Alps but it was an experience I wouldn't have missed.

, just drink the local booze that'll keep you warm......
Salmiakki - nice, just like alcohollic Liquorice Allsorts! But unlike Allsorts, after a few shots when you try to stand up, you legs won't work -

Lapponia Buckthorn Liqueur - very sweet, not so strong, one for the girls -

Koskenkorva Viina (Kossu) - evil stuff, but it'll warm you up (just before you pass out!)
