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 :-)

Here's one of them, from the review below:
Quote:
Five years ago last winter, a huge avalanche roared down a steep mountainside just east of Cordova [Alaska] and slammed into a small cluster of homes ... One woman, 24-year-old Chrystal Czarnecki, was upstairs showering when the avalanche hit her home -- and sent the entire second story flying through the air. After it landed (with Czarnecki on-board), she stepped out of the bathroom to see what happened. To her amazement, the bedroom in which she stood was perched on her car.

Jill Fredston has embarked on a 17-city signing and lecture tour connected with her book. Sounds like a very interesting lady, with great depth (25 years) of knowledge of avalanche-blasting and rescue work.
