I changed the wheel's on the Mrs' car at the weekend. Now she can drive legally on the motorway - winter tyres compulsory from beginning of November

Well, here oop north, they're not compulsory. I just get a kick out of being able to stop. Changing them tomorrow. Stupid fsking Volvo garage who switched the winter for summer last April, neglected to tell me that the winter tyres were almost done - so I had to order new tyres at the last minute (and make a new appointment).

With the grandsprog due March 2018, we're not having our usual ski holiday - we'll just go at weekends and the odd day off.

Will be in Stubaital a couple of weekends from now. Although at this rate will not need to drive so far south!

that's a good question, I am not sure

it's all paid I'll be a passenger in the car so never paid attention to the destination

Milan

[WTFH]

I'll be in Austria at the same time, with 10 friends, not sure if we'll get any skiing in though

Love how you say 'how long do you live in Germany?' your head is already gemischt!

Also, ich bedeutet, Der Schnee wird kommen.

The Heads are best on prepared pistes, and the week before Christmas I'll most likely be using them not too far from Milan.

Just her skis?

Ahh ski season... Vertical hills and horizontal woman.

[scooterscot]

This is wrong scooter, how long do you live in Germany? Correct sentence would be Der Schnee ist gekommen.

Or Der Schnee wird kommen (if it's future tence) or Der Schnee kommt as NotAllThere says if the arrival is imminent

Ah no, Seth Pistols from the days I had an association with K2, great in powder or on English hill snow, where it has no base, and Head SuperShape Speed i RD (pick these words/letters and juggle the order to get the right name) from my more recent deal. I've also got an old pair of Head 1200i SW RD that I think they gave me. They are currently my rock hoppers due to blowing an edge in Stowe (or Smugglers). I keep meaning to repair them.

WTFH,

Oldest daughter got a new set of downhill ski's and boots at the weekend, she's grown out of the old ones

I hope this winter will be like the last we had 6 weeks of a foot of snow on the ground we were cross country skiing from the back door every weekend

Any predictions on what this winter will be like ?

I had to switch of the gas boiler at the weekend, it was too hot for the central heating !

Missed my chance of a bargain pair of snowshoes in January.

So I'll just have to use my old TSL's for another year.
