I've always thought of skiing as a bit of a disaster!
All these flights and ski tows creating global warming, which in turn kills-off the skiing quicker!

^^Ski tows create global warming? Shocked
Bit exaggerated, no? Gloom and doom. Rolling Eyes
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

2002. There should be ‘metres’ of snow in these photos, too much to walk on, but you can clearly see how flat and hard it is.....

2002 was before I discovered Norway - was still going to the Ski Welt then! - do miss that Kaiserschmarrm & those Germknodels though!! Richard

We went skiing last week to Portes du Soleil. I'd not been before, but its a collection of valleys, with a max height of circa 2200m. The snow was chuff below 1500.


I couldn't agree more! I was there a few weeks later (13 March) and was shocked to see the whole of Morzine dry and completely free of snow! There were many runs completely closed and those that were open (low down) were largely ice or covered in a brown tinge due to the mud coming through! Even at the top the snow wasn't ideal!

Luckily I was only skiing for 3 days so wasn't TOO much of a problem but.... still not ideal.
