@snowedleigh watching the coverage and loving the Analogy of the tricks but I think @Tim_Warwood has the best one so far ‘it’s like when your dad takes you to b&q on a Sunday and goes over the bridge near Tamworth Snowdome a little Fast” 😂😂🏂🏂

Questions for this winters #SkiSunday please. Anything you want to know: technique, travel, gear, fashion, apres, maintenance, jokes and of course accessorising goggles and gloves we will do our best to answer them. We also need all your photos and videos so get them in.
If you’re a snowboarder chances are you owe a little to a pastime that has given you so much to give just a little bit back and this is a very worthy cause. Thank you on behalf of the Afghan Snowboard team.

Snow industry Job alert. If you dream of working in the snow industry and making a difference then dream no more! @uk_protect are on the hunt for a marketing manger to join the small but growing team #protectourwinters #POW protectourwinters.uk/join-us…
I saw abuse first hand this winter with the vile comments @ChemmySki was subjected to during #skisunday It was personal, deeply unsettling and completely anonymous. Social media has to be held accountable for the hate it facilitates. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Ultimately diversity (of all kinds) drives innovation,&more practically, industry needs footfall to increase to survive. Encouraging more participation can only be a good thing (&programmes like @SnowCampInfo are incredible at it). Good job @ChemmySki @snowedleigh @skigrahambell
It’s only a couple of clicks to vote for @uk_protect to share in £300,000 of grants. It will allow them to continue their brilliant work addressing climate change in the UK mygivingcircle.org/leaderboa…

I may have had two kids. And be 2 years shy of 40. But I still have a need for speed. Was so fun filming this feature for #skisunday and was buzzed by @snowedleigh ‘s enthusiasm. Check out the whole feature on BBC 2 Sunday 7th at 6.15pm. @ZoidFilminRobot – at Laax, Switzerland
