Poster: A snowHead

'The Observer' has stacks of ski coverage this week, and it appears to all be available on-line. snowHeads 'very own' Martin Bell has a couple of articles: one a ski test and the second a ski clinic. Iain Martin from natives.co.uk picks his favourite apres-ski bars. Several people, including Lesley McKenna, pick their favourite black runs. Other articles too numerous to count...
Some celebrity snow users:
Johnny Rotten, Keith Flint (of Prodigy), Goldie Lookin' Chain (deranged Welsh rappers) and Mariah Carey.
Drifting completely off the point... my favourite Goldie Lookin' Chain lyric

The Torygraph was promising 16 pages on Austria this weekend - haven't seen the papers yet - don't get the big Sat & Sun editions until Monday arvo (takes the censors a while with the black pen checking for tits and the like). Next week 8 pages on Norway.

Martin Bell not sure if it's possible to have any editing done on the on line stuff but your review of the Dynstar Legend 8800 has also been pasted onto the preceeding Fischer RX9

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

does the observer have a free DVD with it today? One of the Sunday papers was doing East meets West (something like that)

Dan, no free DVD I'm afraid.

You know it makes sense.

For a bit of hilarious reading from that Observer supplement, check out:
'Snowboarding in Sweden', apparently extracted from 'The Idler Book of Crap Holidays'.
The shortlist of great black runs is also worth a read:

As Ian says, Martin Bell's guide to skis has been screwed up slightly, but is well worth a read anyway:

Dan, It was yesterday's Guardian, but as you know the Guardian sells out pretty quickly in Brighton.

Yes, shame about that, don't know what happened. I noticed they switched the running order for those two skis from my original copy, so the mistake probably occurred then. Apologies to anyone from Fischer if they're reading...
