Do you bother with winter tyres in Van? Had chains and never got them out of the box or indeed have a clue how to fit them. :)

You can take the snow bus for about 60 dollars and then you can apres a few bevies and then nap on the way back. Plus, no parking.

I'm on my way to Nakiska this weekend. Man-made or not, it's still snow on a mountain and the sun on my back! :thumbup:

Good for you

On groomed slopes, I defy all but the most experts skiers to be able to tell the difference between man made and sky made snow anyway:thumbsup:

I second that, and it's supposed to be 12 degrees on Sunday; I'm happy, winter will be here soon enough.

:thumbsup:

Still got me bermuda shorts and flip flops on. :D

Actually even we saw some white stuff falling for a short while this week and the hills higher up have a dusting. :eek:

Oh goodie ... the othopedic unit can start looking forward to winter sports injuries ..... although we're still getting the M/C accident ones at present as the weather's been so mild!! :rolleyes:

At least the fire-pit accidents will be dying down ..... oh, I almost forgot: they'll be superceded by the frost-bite patients.

At least other people's clumsiness, stupidity and/or bad luck (thought I'd better add that in case anyone gets the hump at me :sneaky:) keeps me in pin-money. :wub:
