Hi Joe,

Not bad at all !

Here is what I use before heading to the slope :

http://www.theyr.net/

Full weather forecast, really accurate... You have the cloud cover aswell, map animation and so on.

http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?lang=eng

Wind and rain forecast for 5 days. Really accurate too.

If you have more, don't hesitate to post them here !

ok theres another one ive been keepin to myself for quite a while ,its good but you will have to have the airport code to use it.....
e.g shannon--------------------   einn snn
       dublin  --------------------    eidw
         cork  -------------------      eick

http://adds.aviationweather.gov/metars/index.php

its good if you live within 40 miles of an airport  :D

make sure  you click the translate tab before submitting it, otherwise its just numbers
enjoy  :D

I bring that one back :)
An interesting link, that shows the current wind for the entire planet :) (Earth Wind Map). Forecast is only 24hrs.
You can zoom in, and click on the map to know the speed / direction etc..

And cool to watch too :)
