I am not even skiing Europe this winter
I seem to check the webcams of the places I've been to more than the places I'm going to.

I suppose it's easier when you can recognise what your looking at.

Thats Filzmoos, been there for the past 3 years. It seems to always get tonnes of snow, more than anywhere else near it gets!! In the first webcam, at 1060m, thats a huge amount of snow for Oct!!

After my usual gaze at the Saalbach webcams this morning, I was amazed to see how quick the snow is still melting down in the village. Yesterday it was all white, today it's nearly all green again.

Just goes to show how the ground temp must still be quite warm.

Yeah, but i would imagine its cooling down rather rapidly at the moment!!

I would have thought that some lucky locals have hiked up the mountains to get their first turns of the year, in good powder as well!!

Why cant we have mountains and lots of decent snow here... :( lol

Perhaps we should be thinking outside of the box - If we can't have big mountains then lets dig a big hole! 1500m deep should do the trick. That just leaves the snow to sort out. We're halfway there :mrgreen:

Ah, the easy option. :D
It's only a slope.
