Well, firstly, we apologise for the faffing involved in setting up accounts. It's painful, but we've tried to make it as easy as possible.

We have accounts so that:

• We can easily remember your settings - like your country etc.
• We can control spam a little easier
• We can protect your email address
• You can get email alerts for specific ski fields
• We can send you lots and lots and lots of email. Heh, Just kidding. We honestly aren't going to send you any emails other than one email which you'll need to reply to to confirm your account, and after that, a confirmation for each booking that you put on the site. You will always have to opt-in to get any extra mails.
