Good based of a foot of snow. As usual, only a couple of lifts and runs opening to start with.
burning thighs after about 30 to 40 mins of skiing

VTers, you are probably right. I used to backseat a lot and it is a difficult position to ski in. takes a lot of effort
That's a decent dump for Norway where the snow tends to come a little and often
Lots of snow in Trysil, so would expect that resort to open in the next couple of weeks
Hi Barney. Share your concerns about light in Are (about 4.5 hours daylight at Christmas) and snow melting. Worth waiting I think - I reckon there'll be lots of deals still on for that week, even if you wait until early December.
"Unmarked natural hazard" - sounds like me.....
Hi Bedrock. The one thing I noticed when going on various websites last night (trying to avoid engaging with slightly-stressed daughter sitting GCSE Maths today) was that the flight days for breaks around the Christmas period this year are all over the shop. A lot of Crystal flights are on Tuesday, easyjet to Are are on Thursday (I think) and igluski flights were on Friday. Still a lot of holidays out there. And the prices aren't bad either. Perversely, it seems that the falling pound and poor snow record for Xmas last year have lead to lots of people not booking and some good deals being available.
Macben. It'll be a howling gale and peeing with rain.
