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 :-)

This years biggest female freeskiing competition
kicked off at the weekend, with the first round at Castleford Xscape...
The goal for the evening was to finish top of the pack and qualify for the It’s a Girl Thing 2 Final in the beautiful resort of Mürren, Switzerland. There was also a host of goodies from sponsors Salomon, Anon, R.E.D and The Ski Club of Great Britain up for grabs.
Jam session
The competition took the form of a ‘jam session’ with the primary emphasis on fun. The slope set-up was great and – just like last year – the girls were riding the course together and encouraging each other to try new tricks.
Judges impressed
England Freestyle Team Manager, Jon White and the Dark Summer team judged the contest which was marked on style and difficulty. White said: "The standard of riding by the girls was awesome. Some of the tricks they were pulling made me realise that the gap between the guys and the girls is getting smaller every day.”
The judges singled out 13 year-old Amber Connors for her tremendous ‘270-on to 270-off’ the box. The fact that it was only Amber’s second attempt at the trick, and that she’s only been skiing for 11 months, surprised everyone. Alex Houston and Claire Hughes also impressed with their gutsy skiing.
Despite a strong performance by all of the girls, it was Castleford local, Amy Rudman, who finished first. Amy pushed herself to learn new tricks throughout the evening and performed well on the kicker and rails to edge out the other girls. Amy will go on to join the winner of next Sunday’s Milton Keynes Xscape qualifying round.
