Poster: A snowHead

Far be it for me to steal Ernst_Goldsmiths position as News Finder General (indeed I found it on a link of his); the following is culled mercilessly from PlanetSki
Quote: |
One unusual twist on the cold weather that is affecting much of the northern hemisphere is the opening of a new 2km long ski run in the south of Holland.
The temporary trail winds down a slag heap from a former mine and is next to the world's largest year round indoor snow centre, Snow World Landgraaf, with its 550m slope.
The indoor six-seater chairlift is being used by people to reach the top of the indoor slope. Then they leave the building through an emergency exit and get onto the real stuff outside. |

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

In fairness to Richard_Sideways, it's not always easy to know if a snowHeads scoop hasn't already been scooped by another sleuthHead. I've made this mistake on occasions.
Whatever ... I Googled 'Richard Sideways' (an usual surname) and got this ...

andyph, I stand abashed, admonished and ashamed, and will leave the news gathering to the professionals.
But then again it was originally posted in the Aprés Zone and if ever there was news that should be in The Piste is should surely be an article about a new piste... But thats no excuse, so I shall hurl myself screaming from the highest mountain crag i can find in EC1 once I complete this post.
