Ulen today are inspecting the piste (if they can see it) with a view to opening tomorrow, im thinking more like Saturday, but it is going to be epic Very Happy

Just dug the vans out for my impending trip to Sofia, leaving at least 4 hours to get there, but the return is in the dark Mad ah well, all part of the job... if i don't get on later send out the search party Wink
