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 :-)

Downhiller Josef 'Pepi' Strobl has been granted Slovenian nationality and hopes to race for his adopted country this season, according to the Slovenian Ski Federation.

Strobl, who left the Austrian team earlier this year, is already training with the Slovenian team... according to Klemen Bergant, team manager. “We are doing all we can to enable Strobl to ski for our team this season”, he said, adding that there is a “good chance that it will happen”.

By changing country Strobl, 30 years old, risks being ineligible for a year, according to the regulations laid down by FIS. However as the Austrian Federation have accepted his transfer the one year suspension may not happen.

Bergant explained that Strobl obtained Slovenian nationality “a few days ago”. Strobl decided to leave the team after failing to be selected for the 2003 World Championships in Saint-Moritz.

”I could not accept the situation any longer”, the downhill and super G specialist, third in the 1996-1997 and 1999-2000 World Cup standings and winner of six World Cup races, declared in June.

On Wednesday, Toni Giger, Austrian team manager, spoke of his sadness at Strobl’s decision to leave the team. ‘”We have been trying to convince him to stay for a while now, but in the end he felt that it was time to go”, Giger explained.

”Josef is very talented, and it’s a great shame to see a potential winner of World Cup races switch to another country”, he added.
