I can't make up my mind if the photo is from Wawa or Standish but I am going to guess Wawa.

Ouch, if I'd noticed you were online I'd have gone with the other resort I had ready.

Spot on, your turn :D

:twisted: hmm OK lets try this one.

Hows about Axamer Lizum in Austria?

I'd stay in the bar I was reading it from :lol:

That's the spirit. :-)

Last season in Banff, I had the pleasure of getting on a chair next to a gentleman in his 90's and still Skiing regularly. He said the only problems he had were with his sight, so he now tends to stay slightly lower and Ski down runs where he can use the trees at the edge of the pistes as guides. He always lets the Ski Patrol know he is out, and they keep and eye out for him just to be safe.

I reckon that gives you and I somewhere in the region of 50 years Skiing still to be done :twisted:

Must admit, have been watching the same cams for the last 1.5 months too;-)

I hate to admit it, but I have been checking the Val D'Isere webcams almost daily since last April :shock:

It is amazing how quick the grass grows in the Alpine Summers.

:lol:

Wow, congratulations. I have just realised that I spent nearly that amount of time between my first and second Ski trips :shock:

My first trip was when I was 14, then I didn't go again till I was 33. Making up for it now though :twisted: I try and do two or three trips a season.
