 Poster: A snowHead
|
Need a few to complete my A to Z of areas skied in or through
D is easy, a trip to Davos required (although just about skied at Doucy, outside Valmorel)
Quebec City seems to have some lifts outside it (although I could be wrong - St Annes? Stoneham?)
U remains a problem. Cant really claim Untergurgl.
Anyone know a ski area beginning with a U?
Been to watch a few times but need to slide down Xscape Castleford to claim it properly.
Been eyeing Finland for a while, maybe Yllas rather than Levi?

Thanks for those, somewhat ambitious but could kill 2 birds with one stone in Finland. Direct flight from there to New Zealand?
(only joking)

BTW, the snowbase only works if you use the "sub-Silver" setting for Board style in your profile
|
Oh, I didn't realise anyone was using any of the other profiles - in fact I forgot u could.
Snowbase works in SubBlack and Crisp now.

T-Dub, you've set yourself an impressive challenge. I once tried the same with soups and then conveniently discovered alphabet soup.

I'm well on my way through the alphabet, so far I've got Saalbach, Soll, Sauze D'Oulx and I've also skiied Sestriere and Scheffau so that's S pretty well covered. 1 down 25 to go.

T-Dub, No, no direct flights to downunder sorry (which reminds me to book flights (going home for xmas this year ) One stops off after 12hrs usually in LA, Tokyo, HK, or Singapore (none of which have (particularly) close slopes nearby, unfortuantely) before getting back on the plane for another 12 hrs. Wot with the jet lag, you might as well spend months down there, in fact the whole season.

Manda, you might try Emirates with a stopover in Dubai to check out their new indoor snow dome. 4th biggest in the world. Opening September 2005. Emirates go to NZ now. 7 hours to DXB, ~11 hours non-stop to Oz and you know the next bit I guess.

FAQ
Sounds great! Except that I personally wouldn't bother (combination of not particularly liking snowdomes, and that route's neither the most convienent nor "direct" to NZ) which is not to say that if I happened to find myself in Dubai with time to spare and the entry was free that I wouldn't give it a go and probably enjoy it despite myself .
