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 :-)

A statement from Rossignol-Dynastar has been issued concerning the above:
Quote:
On February 1, 2005, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a “Recall Alert” regarding Rossignol and
Dynastar
snowboard bindings which appears to have caused confusion. We wish to set the record straight.
The recent CPSC notice relates to a recall that began over one year ago, in December of 2003. The recall process was substantially completed within sixty days of the date it began, and the CPSC has closed its file and complimented us for our efforts. The CPSC issued the “Recall Alert” notice in order to complete its files, and its issuance only recently was largely due to internal delays resulting from personnel changes within the CPSC organization. In the words of the CPSC: “The purpose of the Recall Alert is not as a tool to reach the affected consumers but rather it is intended as a public record and CPSC acknowledgement of our participation and acceptance of the firms corrective action plan.”
The recall involved approximately 11,000 pairs of 2003/2004 model year bindings of the following models:
Rossignol Models (2003/2004 model year only):
• HC500
• HC Rental
• Zena
• Unit Pack
• Unit Rental
Dynastar
Models (2003/2004 model year only):
• Classic RL
• Classic Pack
No other models were involved.
When we received reports of several broken bindings in early December of 2003, we immediately investigated and determined that certain bindings, which had been produced by a subcontractor in Taiwan, might not meet our specifications, and we decided that all bindings from this subcontractor should be replaced. The CPSC was notified of these facts on December 9, 2003, and all of our actions involving this recall were undertaken with the CPSC’s approval.
