Sking was fantastic, with excellent snow, however on the last 2 days there was quite a significant thaw. Noticable bare patches throughout resort resort on last day. Speaking to the local staff in our hotel, they said they didnt expect any significant snow for the next few weeks as it becoming very warm.

Nightlife.......what can be said,

Daks......is daks.
White hart......good clean new pub, food is generally good but got one iffy meal. Best to wait until after 7 to order.
Apre ski...good, but one particular bartender , vespra, or something like that who would ask for a tip when you ordered your first drink. Had a face you would love to slap....put me off the place.
BJs....still going strong.


Exchange rates, most hotels are 2.60- 2.70 to the Pound, and 1.80 to the euro. The Alaska supermarket are the best rates at 2.75 to the GBP and 1.92 to the Euro.


If Going out in the next few weeks , bring a good book you may need it

Wnt to Zora last year and was thinking of the Shnezanka for next year with the kids. Has the Zora got a pool yet, I believe they were planning one?
