Many of the UK's artificial surface slopes are operated by local councils, often at a loss, and so are finding themselves on the front line in the current scenario of swathing cuts that councils are being forced to make across the country.

I'm shocked that there are councils using taxpayer money to run ski slopes for the benefit of the relatively few people interested in skiing. If these are being shut down, or turned into organisations financed only by members and customers, then it is a good thing.

yep i second that

ive just booked a week in Tignes jan 28th £580 for 5 bed apartment at the bottom of the funicular. 4 of us staying there so £145 each for the week isnt bad. but that is accom only lift pass and fuel costs still to come :/

Be careful what you wish for...

As just posted in the News section - sun spot activity is currently less than expected, and the sun may be about to enter a quiet period.

The well-known "Maunder Minimum" (when very few sun spots were observed) lasted 70 years and coincided with the "Little Ice Age".

Fancy a 70-year ski season??? :shock: :D :D :D

read that this morning. heres hoping :D

its all the powder alarms that have dropped into my inbox over the past 2 weeks. got me watching webcams again LOL. just booked a week in tignes today as part of the winter road trip :) im not really helping myself here am i

is anyone else bored of waiting for winter?
weekly trip to the snow dome just isnt cutting it for me. :cry:

cool thanks for the suggestions. our original idea was to go so st anton and spend a week there, couple of days in livingo then over to tignes for a couple of and maybes les arcs. however i was looking for some of the smaller resorts were you might not want to spend a whole week. doing a fair bit of driving dosnt bother me for the right resorts.

Ok so im thinking about next season already and we have decided we are going to drive it next season, go for around 2 weeks, experiance a few different resorts one of which must be in austria for a full week.

so my question to you guys is what would you do if you had this criteria? where would you stay in austria and what else would you visit for a coupld of days at a time? i dont care about snow sure right now this is ideal world situation.

your suggestions please lovely people.

thanks
