I have maintained my beer and cigerette consumption from winter, played squash 3 times, fixed a puncture in my front tyre and put on 20lb. I reckon I'm in great shape to get in great shape.

Nevermind December Snowboarding, just packed my bags for a couple of days August sliding :) Did Saas Fee last August so going for Zermatt this time round. Taking my hiking gear just in case the weather is bad.

I've done that week in Val d'sere/Tignes and it was 80% open. It was also the coldest I've ever been on La Fornet Glacier on a 4 seater at -30deg and 60Km/h wind....brrrrrrr!!

Great week, lovely chalet, fantastic riding. Would rather stay in Val d'Isere than Tignes which is "functional" to say the least.

I'm innocent m'lud, honest.

I meant that's what the system would effectively be doing.

As for riding on rocks, I'm not that brave, yet ;)

Essentially, yes. It's really no different in that respect to the all weather snowmaker.

Decide where you want to go. Then look at their own website. It should be possible to do an accommodation search for hotels or apartments.

I have always booked in Austria, Germany and Switzerland like this, but think it's trickier in France.

:oops:Fixed my tipsy rambling to make a little sense.

Perpetual action of any type will typically result in an erosive effect. Erosion can be positive or negative depending on what you intend to acheive. What the proffesor is trying to say, I think, is that solar radiation errodes naturally formed glacial ice. I dont think I will get argument here. What he professes is that this process takes time, and should one be able to create more ice than the natural environment erodes, then one actually erodes the the effect of natural erosion. There are possibly constraints, as you suggest, however metreological patterns and capacity could be used in tandem to overcome these. After that it is simply man versus nature. Can they create more than nature takes away??
