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 :-)

Craig Donovan and the
Lokomotiv Skis
crew from Scandinavia sent me a note saying they are finally bringing their skis to market after nearly 3 years of testing prototypes.
Officially open for business with quickly-renewable resource all-bamboo cores and updated designs (including rockered models) for 2009-2010. Big-mountain/backcountry skis handmade in small production runs with custom builds available. Vertically-laminated bamboo cores mated with various tri-axial fiberglass and veneers for customized flex patterns and stiffness. Each model appears to be available in one length only this season.
Their "Rockerbilly" pow ski kinda looks like a DPS shape cross-bred with some traditional shapes. Topsheet graphics are cool. I will see about getting my hands on a pair or two to see how they ski this season.
Priced from approximately €850 per pair.

Yeah but will they rail?
I'll get my (gore-tex) coat...
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

That's a heavy price for a start-up, they must be certain they have a competitive product for the market.
