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 :-)

I'll certainly try it, though I might do a weather check for anyone close enough to create a 'take 'em down with me' hazard first

if you're shussing it will always take slightly longer if you're on edge because the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, not a series of S-bends.
The shortest distance between two points maybe a straight line. That doesn't equate you'll get to the end any sooner by taking the shortest line.
Running on the edge maybe faster due to the decreased friction. With higher speed, you can take a longer line and still get to the end sooner.
Plus you can inject power if you're running from edge to edge, which you can't if you're running flat on the bases. This applies on cold snow - if it's wet, warm and sticky then edges sink and grip - you're better off on Notwax-coated bases.
