I first came to this board just befor xmas I was going skiing 9th Jan 05. It was so fast and fab it had me revved up and waiting to go. What has happened? I am going back to Boro on Sat from Manchester and am more excited than ever. Then I put a subject up saying Beer and had 10+ replies where have all the people gone, and the enthusiasm.
Don't even think about Oz for sking although they do have a couple of good slopes in NSW. Alot of Aussie ski in New Zealand. You can get a direct flight to Christchurch with Singapore airlines then you're only 45mins drive to Mt Hutt, one of NZs best ski feilds or get yourself to Queenstown and you get a choice of 6 different ski feilds with the bonus of being in the Adrenalin capital of the world.
Trust me if you want to go sking in the UK Summer get yourself to NZ. The Austrian ski team do.
