Sleeps till ski time

Significant drop in temperature forecast fo the end of October across most of the Alps, a bit of snow around but nothing significant yet.
Once the temperature falls over a sustained period the snow cannons should start and things will start to look much nicer.

I've added Verbier_ski_bum and I thought I'd better post up a new list now we're on a new page.

According to this list, Verbier_ski_bum will be the first on the snow, in Verbier, and Brooksy the last, in Obergurgl.

Is there anyone else going ski-ing/boarding?

What are you going to do when the list = a full page Ally??
:oops:

Andy - don't worry, I have thought of that!

I am adding people to the Excel sheet, as they post their holiday details, and I think Excel can hold thousands of 'rows'.

But when I have too many people on my list on here I will start to just post up the people who are going in, say, December and January, so that I don't take up a whole page.

Last year, if you remember, I just listed people who were going off in one week, and in 2 weeks.

And if I get, like, 50,000 J2Skiers all trying to post up their holidays I will pass it on to Admin. I am sure he will be very pleased to take over from me :mrgreen:

I note that no one is sampling the delights of Bulgaria!

Oxymoron?

St. Gervias in 62 days - 22/12/1012

There might be a chance of another list developing, albeit a bit more contentious.
Who on the list will be taking their children, if any, during school term time?
