I don't know about you guy's but I always find this time of year depressing I have just had the snow update for LGb and the snow is receding quicker than my hair line, 140 cm on the upper and 40 cm on the lower and dropping rapidly daily and they are fairing better than some other resorts where the grass is beginning to show though.
Once the mountains have gone through the full cycle and green has replaced white I'm fine I can view the beauty again though a new set of eyes and happily spend a week of my summer holiday playing in the mountains, till that time I'm depressed........ :evil: :evil:

The snows will come again.

I enjoy the Winter (obviously!) but Spring ain't so bad; chance to relax as the season winds down, bit of sunshine, getting the bike out, chilling in the garden, a few kart races ("I feel the need...") to top-up the adrenaline...

Summer will be all too brief and then Autumn will be on us as we glue ourselves to the webcams looking for those first flakes...

Just six short months from now, the peaks of Grand Bo will be snow-capped again.

And so it goes. 8)

Hi Ian,

I know what you mean :( but i am off for an end of season blast on the 20th :D :D and i am hoping the snow gods will smile one last time (huge snowfall expected in the south of the alps over the next few days, and hopefully the northen parts will follow).....but look on the bright side the alps in summer are still a great place to be :D, and there is only 32 weeks until the start of the next season....yeeeeehaaaaa :D :D :D
