The pow is looking a bit chopped up :mrgreen:

Is the cable car open to the public every day from now on?

I think you have moved from providing encouraging photo's of the rapidly improving conditions to downright gloating :evil:.

Even though they are stunningly beautiful pictures, it is most unfair to taunt us poor mortals stuck hundreds of miles away from the mountains with another 52 days to wait until we get on the slopes :evil:.

In the meantime, I plan on checking out this rather interesting addition to the "skiing opportunities" available in Dublin:

I had a look into the centre and it looks pretty cool - they claim that it very good for perfecting technique, while not having to spend ages going up a drag for a short run down a dry slope is a definite plus :D

Yeh it is hard to visualise, I would rather ski bad snow than a moving carpet :wink:

I know what you mean. I haven't tried it out yet but plan to do so sometime before Christmas. If nothing else, it should help with "ski fitness". I'll post a review afterwards.

Me too, but I'd rather ski on a carpet than not ski at all. I taught on one of those in S. Africa for a few years.

Different but great fun and as Wanderer says, great for fitness.
