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 :-)

Zoe Gillings does well despite a lack of funding

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Top British snowboarder, Zoe Gillings, finished 7th at the World Championships in La Molina (Spain) this week, despite no funding. That's one place better than her position in the Vancouver Winter Olympics, and she has no coach, no physio and no money. She has been unable to fly to 3 recent World Cup competitions because of a lack of funding too ...Source: http://blogs.news.sky.com/olympicsblog/Post:6ad98c90-6222-4fc9-a39f-ade81ca4c64c

This seems ridiculous!

In waterskiing when you join the Waterski & Wakeboard club part of your annual subscription automatically goes to helping our athletes! Unfortunately the UK Ski Club does not for some reason do this???

i think if you check out the funding rules it doesnt state that, about medals, otherwise theres a lot of summer athletes who are going to get a surprise!!!!!

Is it true that the set up of SSGB and its selection is partly behind the withdrawing of funding?????(ie its not democratic and was 'installed' on the sport)?

iskar, not sure but certainly SSGB doesn't seem to have come across very well with the whole sorry saga at the end of last year and now no money Sad

And today a top 6 in the World Under 23 XC championships.

So how about some funding for skiing and snowboarding targeted at our promising athletes like Zoe and Andrew.

D G Orf, iskar, SSGB went into administration last February. BSS was set up to allow athletes to race FIS races and became the new governing body. It has tried hard to secure funding from UK Sport for all snowsports. But the targets keep getting more difficult and goalposts keep changing. So no ticks in a target box means no money.
The don't give anything or futurepromise which is total madness.
