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 :-)

As a follow on to an earlier thread on the Snowheads about the loss of funding of the GB ski team a good initiative will be started at this years Metro Ski & Snowboard show to raise much needed cash for all the team athletes.
A quote from SSGB
"This year SSGB (SnowsportGB) has teamed up with the Metro Ski and Snowboard Show organisers, The Ski Club of GB and SEGA to try raise much needed funds to help support the athletes in the GB team.
There will be two initiatives going on at the time of the Show;
1. The Show organisers have agreed to ask show visitors to donate £2 to the teams when they purchase tickets. Any funds raised will be split between SSGB and Disability
Snowsport UK athletes.
2. SSGB, in conjunction with the Ski Club of Great Britain and SEGA, will have a stand next to the Ski Club’s stand at the Show dedicated to fundraising for SSGB athletes. SEGA
are about to launch a new game “Sonic and Mario at the Olympic Winter Games” and visitors to the Show will asked to pay £2 to race against British Team athletes past and
resent.
To give you a few more details about the ‘SEGA stand’, athletes and visitors will post fastest times down the course (either racing side by side or one at a time). Results will be recorded in a Top Gear style leader board - ‘the stars’ fastest times will be in one column, ‘the visitors’ in another column. The visitor with fastest time on each day of the show will win either a Nintendo Wii or Nintendo DS, plus a copy of the soon to be released game “Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games”.
So please all you Snowheads that go to the show just donate the £2 when you buy your ticket and also have a challenge with one of the team to see if you can beat them. You may win a Wii or a DS.
The GB team really need your support.

It would be rather depressing if any of us could beat them... But are there any other ways of donating as I won't be at the show.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

, SSGB are setting up an SMS for people to txt donations to and hopefully also a Paypal account too.
They are also going to lobby the TO's to ask for donations when people book their holidays through them.
I'll put details on here when they are finalised.
Also keep an eye on the SSGB website
