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 :-)

Some nasty comments on the message board at the end of that article. Poor Chemmy Sad .

According to Eurosport, Julia Mancuso went to the hospital with her and stayed for a few hours. Julia came fourth in today's race so it obviously didn't affect her nerve.

Slight consolation at least she got mentioned on the 5 Live sports bulletin this morning which is a first IME.

Shame it had to happen in such nasty circumstances. let's hope she's got a touch of the Hermanator about her in recovery.


Noted that meself today, Chemmy was mentioned in all the bulletins I heard from 6am to 4pm. Seemed odd at first (what with all the cricket & football shenanigans) wouldn't really have expected skiing in the national sports news, horrible reason for it but a thing of note!

The Daily Telegraph report quotes Chemmy's brother as saying "one of the breaks was so bad the bone went through her ski boot." Shocked

I'm glad to hear from CEM's post that the op went well and she is being positive. Smile

Perhaps when she's ready to take her first tentative runs on skis again it could be at one of the UK snowdomes - I'm sure some Snowheads would be willing to ski along with her Madeye-Smiley (on second thoughts that might set her recovery back! Toofy Grin )

If you're not squeamish about post-operation photos click here for why I think Chemmy is not quite like the rest of us. If I had an injury like that I suspect I'd be extremely dubious about returning to skiing in any significant way but I'm pretty sure she can't wait to get into training again.

Good luck to her.

Not in pot Chemmy? They put mine in a backslab pot in theatre. Then two weeks later that came off for the staples to come out & I then got a proper purple pot Cool. Seeing a row of staples down each side of my ankle was quite a shock given that I thought it was stitches. At that time I didn't even know they used staples in skin Shocked . I have to say the end result is very neat though. I hope the recovery period goes smoothly for you and the only problem is the boredom and having to do as you're told! Hard to do, I know, but try not to get too frustrated and use the enforced rest time to catch up on stuff you never have time to do.

Really bad news and a horrible injury by the sounds of it.

For those of you on twitter, Chemmy's injury has now allowed her to be rather more vocal on there. Here's her link...... http://twitter.com/#!/ChemmySki

The pic's she has posted of her ankle is quite horrendous!
