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 :-)

Ski resort chairlifts run backwards after fire triggers power crisis
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Kirkwood in California has just experienced a weekend of power problems, which followed a fire that wiped out its electricity system. The power was restored by installing three giant diesel generators but then the chairlifts started running backwards.

This report from SF Gate (San Francisco Chronicle)

How do you get on a chairlift that's going backwards? There's got to be a solution.

You'd have to get on at the top and take the chair lift down the hill. A long hike up in the morning!

That would involve propelling yourself backwards, and I was obviously hoping one could do exactly the same thing at the bottom station and go the wrong way around the bullwheel. This would offer great views of the valley when going up, which you never enjoy on a chairlift.
