That's a lot more than I get to see from my windows ANY morning.

I haven't seen snow down here for years.

No, a severe frost in the New Forest doesn't count.

Sorry about that.

How about I make up for it with an all expenses trip to Mars for some low gravity volleyball? :shock:

I really hate to put a damper on this but....

The "snow" on mars is likely to be carbon dioxide and you can't ski on it like you can on ice, not with our skis anyway.

Carbon dioxide changes from solid to gas with no intermediate liquid phase, so there is nothing to glide over.

Save your money for Niederau..., sorry, Earth.

I decided that sleep was a better option than trying to decipher j2ski.

"Another Long Day on the Piste" by Will Randall is a light-hearted look at someone working in a ski-resort - a good laugh in places.

I also read "Avalanche" and enjoyed it.

A who-done-it is "Dead Men Don't Ski" by Patricia Moyes.

I agree with you, snow-related fiction isn't that easy to find.
