I’m travelling so not quite across the news like I usually would be. If the above is correct……wow.

I finished up my time with Snoworks on Friday just gone. It was warm with no freeze at 2000 metres overnight. It was overcast and windy so conditions weren’t great. Euan took us to north facing pitches with rock features. We were intending to ski the ‘north face of the Borsat’ which involves a...

Yes. You scored nice conditions for your wife’s first day in snow for the year. Great visibility and nice views from a good mountain.

Hard to beat North America for a combo of snowfall and terrain diversity.

Looks like fun to me!

I wasn’t about to begin a political discussion with someone I met two minutes ago. If you look back on the thread you’ll see I find the situation serious.

Looks idyllic. Can you hint as to approx cost please?

I must have missed this. Just reading it now. Looks a nice place with the lake and all. Show off.

We had dinner with a lovely chap from Texas last night. He too is doing a week with Snoworks. I’m not in his group so we hadn’t spoken a lot before last night. He started the night by apologising for his government. We of course laughed and said the goings-on were good entertainment if nothing...

I would have thought you might have bagged Copper Mountain when you’ve been in i70 area in the past. I get that Steamboat is a little out on its own as far as ski areas is concerned.

Some people really dislike hot weather. I’m one of them. So is my wife. (Strangely considering her mum is native Fijian). So travelling to colder climes makes sense in our world.

I’m a sweater. It’s too hot doing that close to home for at least 9 months of the year.

I’m going to be cheeky and count Bonneval Sur Arc even though I only did three runs. That hill and Saint Foy gets me to 82 areas. I’m thinking that could be some kind of record for someone from Brisbane Australia.

I didn’t realise this year had been that lean.

Best day ever as the kids say. I think the title gives away what we did today. We had a fast piste ski down to La Daille and then a bus ride to La Fornet. A series of lifts took us to the top of the Val side. From the Montet drag lift we traversed toward the Pays Desert area and then hiked up...

Yes. I joke to Kylie that she’s not 11 anymore.

The bit that I’m skiing in the photo is low angle so probably gets skied regularly. It was supporting me nicely. Of course I’m no expert on spring skiing…..

I will report back in about twelve hours. I suspect you are correct. I joked with Euan that my skiing is compromised enough so the money had better not be paying for chemical additives. And my wife wouldn’t appreciate hired lady fun.

Oh. And Kylie has invented a new term for corn snow. “This pre-slush is very nice to ski on”. 🤣

You’re correct in that I’ve not been to many of the smaller places. See in Austria is an exception. Saint Foy felt about the same size as that hill from memory.
