Hurray it's finally coming....

Woop woop....

Was going to wash the car in Saturday. Better get the ski gear out again :)

Has anyone actually got their skis out in the UK when it has snowed and walked up a hill only to ski down not very far and then do it over again?

Yep. Me. We choose a steep, but not very long hill (takes forever getting up otherwise) then do as many long turns as possible to make it last.
It's kind of pants, but will do if desperate.
Makes good facebook photos!

Yes I did last yr when we had all the really thick snowfall..... I got as far as the end of my street and realised if I wanted to go any further I'd have to walk. In the snow we had it was probably about an hours walk, it's not actually that far but with the conditions....... I just turned round and came home.

The place I'm talking about is a local golf course and seems to be the usual sledging spot for kids etc when we get the snow.... I'm yet to find out if it's any good though. :lol:

could you be talking about Val d'aire or locally know as gotts park :lol:

I went skiing in the garden last weekend. Didn't go very far or fast (I live in East Anglia and we don't do hills very well) but at least I got to put on my skis.

Then we had a vin chaud to celebrate.

:lol: no it's not gotts park but that would be a great place to have a mess about in good snow.... I'll try that next time. It's rawdon golf club.

Always a good excuse to drink vin chaud/bombardinos, play some lound music and stand in the garden with your ski gear on - et voila - your very own apres ski!
