At last decent snow

[snaw]

I personally would have done, however it was an organised stag do that was booked in the summer for January.... 13 of us went out so we just got pi$$ed instead. Although it was 8.50 euros for a vodka and coke and £4 for a Pint of Lager.

Meribel is due to have 30 to 40cm dump of snow in the next 24hrs.... so if anybody is looking for somewhere to go....

If you're following the snow then a decent site to track conditions etc... http://www.snow-forecast.com

If I've learned a lesson after 15 years of chasing snow, including a couple of season, it's don't believe it till it's actually fallen ...

A better, and more honest, site for snow conditions is our very own british ski slub. www.skiclubuk.co.uk - just register (Not join) and you'll have access to their snow reports section. First class and comprehensive.

Thats why its best not to book in advance, follow the snow and get a last minute deal into the bargain, I've had some my best holidays that way.

Off to Fernie next week - they got a 2.5M base and it's snowing faster than people can rip it up ;-)

Did a season out there a few years ago, can't wait to go back to the world's 2nd best resort (kicking horse took top spot after a visit last year).

I didn't even have to use my jedi powers to work that one out... I hear 'Hoth' is quite snowy at the moment!

Just came back from a 4 day stag do in Meribel - 3 Valleys - France.... Not snowed there since 4th January, if you're a novice Skier or novice snowboarder... avoid it at all costs!

4 Day trip cost me, near on £1000 after Lessons (before going), accom, beers, flights, and food, and not any fresh snow to be seen.

Is that similiar to dogging?

Mugging people on a train is called steaming. Sledging is chirping at batsmen!

oops

Still none here at 600 metres above sea level. The pictures of the ski slopes ('mud fields') near here are really sad.

Where are you bob? 600 metres doesn't seem very high to me - the hills next to Edlesborough where I live are 600 metres.

I'm confused .

You need snow to mug people on a train?
