Did you hit it off with the posh chap and was the snow as fab as it looks?

Myself and Raife Henkle (the posh chap) are now best mates. We shared numerous bottles of champers during the week.

We had a great week and there was plenty of snow, the only down side was that it was too hot, so it got a bit slushy in the afternoons.

It was very hot, when we left this morning at 5am it was well above freezing. This is a good amount of snow at the moment but if the temps stay high they might start having problems by the end of the week.

Glad you had a grand week and bonded with Mr Henkle, was the ski road in a reasonable state?

In the afternoon it was very slushy at the bottom, but still skiable.

Raife, whipped me into something but it wasn't a helicopter. I was at the gondola at 8.30 each morning and it whipped me up to the top.
Apart from a 30 minute queue on Monday and a 10 minute queue on the Tuesday we walked straight on each day.
As someone has already said the numbers are down on last year.

Hi

Do you know if there is any snow forecast next week.
Can you still ski all the way home?
