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 :-)

forgive me if this is a real silly question, but i have Icelenatic twin tips and measurement seems to be the length of the base, is this the same for all twin tips? Non-twins, are they measured the same or tip to tail in the straightest line as seems to be the case for my Fischer piste skis.
cheers

Skis are measured normally buy the full base (tip to tip) or a flat mould (when the ski is flat before it is pressed)
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

, no, not always straightest line - sometime with the tape flush to the ski - depends on the manufacturer

were measured oddly until recently, always had to add 3cm for true length?
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Yeah..

used to measure by running length of ski. Now they're measured tip to tail, much more sensible!
