this week six miles, hopefully build the milage up as the summer months pass by.

Ian, is that how you keep fit for skiing or do you just like to ride your bike in the Norfolk Country Side?

Hi Lota,
Heard good things about both :wink: But California = mega snow, well last season anyway and its on my list, once we have saved enough :lol: Always fancied a two centre holiday there to see the sights and ski. Very nice :D

Thanks Tony, that sounds like four trips :wink: or three planned and one flexy. Still you can't take it with you so enjoy it while you can. Thats my motto. We would jump at the Arlberg but with four skiers in our party it becomes mega expensive and so we are looking for cheaper options for Austria in January. Schladming is looking a good bet at the present time.

Ally, sounds like a major dilemma :shock: Why can't life be simple. Thats the problem with group trips and meeting everyones expectations and commitments. Good luck with what ever you decide upon.

:thumbup: Andy, Sounds good, I wonder when Easter falls next year as its very late this year. Hope you getaway in the low season. You know your worth it :wink:

Andy have a great time, you've waited long enough. I suspect its too early for you to be looking to book for next year :lol: :thumbup:

Ally, where do you fancy going in December?

Trencher wrote:In the US Midwest, we had an incredible season. Fresh snow (what seemed like) every few days, and only one warm week with sloppy conditions (I was in Utah that week). Snow canons only used in early November for a few days. For the first time that I can remember, my appetite is sated, and I'm ready for spring.

Hi Trencher, perhaps you could share some with us next season :lol: Have you managed to get across to California they have broken all records this year? Mind you, you can't go far wrong with the Utah powder :wink:

Sounds good Debiski, I would love to go to Lech or Stuben however, it is sooo expensive if you plan to go on other trips later in the season. I am looking at more cost effective options. I like the look of Schladming with trees if its snowing and 175kms of piste. I have heard that its good value also in terms of food and drink with some nice mountain huts. Although not the highest resort it has a good snow record. Well back to the research :wink:
