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 :-)

Looking for a ski race guide to ski the course and tell her where to turn as she has less than 5% vision.
Anyone up for it

I saw this a couple of days ago. You also get a medal if you podium...If i wasn't contracted to work, i'd be half tempted. I hope she finds someone.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Yep big commitment but one way to go to the olympics. Not sure how you tell her to turn if she is behind you

They showed a similar skier, also aiming for Sochi, and her guide on the programme about Heather Mills on Sky. Even with vision that low she could see enough of her guide to follow her and she wore a colour which maximised her visibilty (different for each competitor). The standard looked pretty good, needs to be a reasonably good racer I think.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

You wear an earpiece. Or vocal instruction and lots of practice and compatibility.
I recommend doing a course teaching and Instructing the disabled on snow to anyone.
I did...one of the most rewarding things i've ever done, and you gain a real respect for those with a disability.
Most of them are braver than able bodied.
