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 :-)

Glen Plake to quit skiing?

Well, maybe not, but it appears he's taken to riding mountain bikes: he's pictured here with Hans "No Way" Rey, a man whose history of MTB riding is as seminal as Plake's skiing career...

Hans is a legend... he's done some crazy biking in his time. The cliffs of Moher on the west coast of ireland will always stick in my mind as something outstandingly crazy at the time.



As for Plake... nutter Very Happy

I watched Blizzard of Ahhhs last week and it was great. Sure, there were other people skiing just as crazy stuff back then, but he brought it to the masses. What a character!

Aah, so that probably was Plake that a friend of mine saw in Chamonix a couple of weeks ago! He said he'd spotted a guy who looked like Glen Plake, but wasn't totally sure...will tell him to get an autograph next time Cool

shoogly, my dad was in a VC-10: flight engineer in a BOAC crew accepting the planes, flying out of Shannon. Not a flight you'd have wanted to be a passenger on, I think!

To reassure yourself that Glen is still and skier and a punk, you might want to pick up a copy of The Altus magazine, published in Chamonix (unfortuantely no web address), as Glen is one of this seasons featured interviewees.

He's still dining out on 'The Blizzard of Aahh's' and busy avoiding California police. So MTB is just a super pastime perhaps.

Cool photo shoogly, Very Happy
