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 :-)

Been reading some articles online on the benefits of inline skates / rollerblades as off season training for alpine skiers.... anyone got any thoughts / experience of this? Should I bring back the 90s in my local neighbourhood?

Yeah me too. I was on quads mostly, though I had blades for a little while and the occasional trip to the ice rink. Skating on skis is a useful skill anyway, whenever you get to a flat bit, or if you need to get warm quickly.

Never found skating making any difference to my skiing really. I used to skate la Defense to home in Paris center, slaloming down the Champs, every day back from work. I really couldn't see any transfer in skills. I skied just as well, or badly at the start of the season as before. Maybe if you've never skied before. For a workout you are better running, swimming or cycling IMHO.

Again for Cross country it is a different skill set and rollerblading is discouraged.
