Mail for help.Help!!

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 next two picked, Grahame and ColdSmoke didn't respond.

Leaving Sev112 with his choice of


“The Kneissl Philosophy.
Handmade in Tyrol – what brand today is still able to claim that? At Kneissl we attach importance to tradition and stopped the mass production of our products a long time ago.
Quality is more important than quantity, uniqueness counts – a philosophy that has helped the brand gain cult status.
The pure classic design of our models shows the attention to detail that we have been manufacturing skis with in Kufstein for nearly 100 years.”


Kneissl Skis are giving us a pair of Black Star SM 168cm skis to give to one lucky snowHead!




Jedi2020 is lucky to be paying a visit to CEM for new footbeds!


Solutions 4 Feet are a new dimension in footwear fitting, footwear modification and footcare based in Bicester, Oxfordshire.

"At Solutions 4 Feet we will fit and modify all types of footwear from day to day footwear to specialist sports shoes including running shoes and ski boots, pain in the ball of the foot in ski boots is one of the most common complaints we see, a problem which we have great success in resolving. We are proud to stock the full range of Superfeet orthotic footbed products and zipfit ski boot liners in our clinic.”


CEM is giving one lucky winner the chance to own his or her own pair of custom footbeds!



Minimum_2 was next, choosing


“If you’re going to live with no limits, you need a digital video camera that can deliver the goods in full 1080p HD. The KODAK PLAYSPORT Video Camera is up for the challenge. We built it to take on the most extreme lifestyles with an insanely tough design—we’re talking shockproof, dustproof, and waterproof to a depth of 3 m (10 ft). And built-in image stabilization smoothes out even the roughest ride. Whether you’re carving up the mountain or pulling stunts in the skate park, the PLAYSPORT Video Camera is up for anything. And with a touch of the Share button, shocking your social network couldn’t be simpler.”

Love from Masque
Masque has given us TWO Kodak Playsport Cameras to give away to two lucky snowHeads!




Garfield, RichardBambrook, R0g3ratnw and Andy2 didn't respond, leaving

Bogusman with a Surfanic Jacket


"We are Surfanic. We've been in the game since 2003. We have created a brand which stands for style, functionality and fun at very affordable prices. We believe in a lot of things (including The Yeti) but most relevant to you is:

1. Everything we make has to be combination of fun, enthusiasm and down-to-earth values.
2. Having fun on the beach or snow is what life is about.
3. A snowboarding trip shouldn't cost an arm and a leg and no way should the kit cost more than an air ticket to the mountains.
4. Never eat yellow snow...


We have a Surfanic Jacket to give away to one lucky snowHead, and a pair of Surfanic ski trousers to another!



Spiky1013 took the other camera

and when Juliette, Tomosjac2, Jackr & Blondilocks didn't respond, it left the way open for

Alexsam97 to collect the Surfanic pants!

Zski asked for the Frankly top



Jake43 has won the ski tune and lesson

Spyderjon is also a snowHead and is giving one lucky winner the chance to learn how to tune his or her own skis with a free lesson and ski tune in his workshop in Nottingham!



and FraserP the sledge


Bobskis has reinvented the sledge. Seriously fast, flexible, easy to steer, great for stunts and fantastic fun. Influenced by bobsleighs, snowboards and skis, Bobskis unique unibody design provides extreme performance in freezing conditions. Thrill seekers will be impressed with the speed and versatility of Bobskis compared with other sledges. Bobskis perform well on gentle slopes where other sledges struggle; just right for outdoor fun with the kids. Light enough to take anywhere and virtually unbreakable, the possibilities are endless.

Bobskis have very kindly given us a sledge to pass on to one lucky snowHead!



SLB79, Helen3, Jade & Richard_sideways have all bagged themselves an item of bamboo clothing!


Bamboo baselayers – the most comfortable and snug baselayers you can buy.

Shimmy Alcott, Luggage scales are good things - I got a digital set (about £7.99) off ebay a few months ago, I've not weighed a great deal of luggage (though did my suitcase when I went to Aberdeen a few months ago), but what they have been excellent for is ebay parcels - I stick the parcel in a thin supermarket poly-bag and dangle it off the luggage scales to get the posting weights!! I wish I'd have got some years ago!!
