Well, that's it for this season sadly. Just had final week in Soll. It was 21c in the town and 15c on the tops. Nevertheless, great skiing, although some home runs closed due to no snow and others got very slushy by about 1pm. Conditions stayed fairly good on the tops though. So hot I managed to come down with heat stroke one day. Have got a great suntan though (complete with Panda Eyes!).
Just counting the months to start of next season now, depression setting in already :(
Skied: On snow, On water, On mud, On slush, On ice. Oh, and on a few dry slopes.

I know the feeling; but I'm planning a sneaky one just before the final curtain comes down in Tignes in a few weeks time ! But only planning at this stage; lots can still go wrong !

Yup, the sad first day back in the office after a fantastic week in Paradiski.

Temperatures of 20C at 1000M one day, barely below freezing above 3000M.

Snow was holding up very well on piste, garbage off piste but showing signs of real degradation on resort runs.

Still chance for some skiing in Cairngorm before the season completely finishes!

This. We're "only" at mid-March and this season may yet have a sting in its tail... well, hope so anyway... 8)

Currently in Zermatt. Despite the high temperatures, the pistes are holding up really well. We've generally stayed up above 2,500m for the first two days. Came down to the base at the end of yesterday and it was very slushy. I can safely report that it is nice and cool at 3,800m! Blue skies, quiet pistes - doesn't get much better.
slippy slidey snow......me likey!
