Yeah right Mat, "a couple of inches" seen the webcams lately? Last night had more snowfall than a couple of inches, and that is at resort level. We have also had several reports of the piste bashers preparing the yastrebets runs.

You mean this webcam? That's no more than a couple of inches.

Anyway, as long as the buggers get onto it and we don't have the ice and dirt on the bottom of the Yastrebets runs this year that we do every other year, I'll be a happy camper.

re: piste bashers

Please note
if a resort piste bash before a reasonable snow fall or inadvertently set the machine too low, this will damage the slope, lifting up rocks and stone s which damage the h**l out of your skis or board. Have seen the after affects in Austria. and grown men and women weep after looking at the bottoms of their skis after a run down!

re: piste bashers

Well actually Mat, Sat we had 17cm and yesterday we had 8cm. In total 25cm which in english terms is approx.10inches. And thats in the resort. A bit more than a "couple of inches" dont you think?
