Thank heavens for summer rugby eh RichardB? Are you going tomorrow night?
Last weekend I resigned myself to tidying up the spare room & finally put away all the ski jackets, gloves, goggles & other associated ski paraphernalia. Once all that is done the season is really over. The good news is next year's first trip is already booked! Hooray!

Ski Bunny, I've booked up for Fernie next January, I booked the day after I got back from Mayrhofen this last January, can't wait!
I am going to tomorrow nights game, my best mate bought my ticket just two days before I left for Sauze d'Oulx a week last Friday, going to be a fantastic atmosphere (a sell-out I heard), I feel it will be one of the games of the season!

Hope so, I am really looking forward to it. Seems like I haven't been to a game for ages, what with all the cup weekends etc.

Yes ise, half a metre of snow predicted for Val Thorens between now and Friday, and the maximum temperature no more than -10C. Season over? No way!

It's not fair, got back from the three valleys on Sunday, where we had hard pistes in the morning and it was slush upto 2000m in the afternoon. 
In January went to Lake Louise and they hadn't had snow for 6 weeks. The day we left it snowed and kept on snowing.
Will I ever find powder?

Still snowing in Scotland too.
Maximum accumulation isn't normally reached at 2,500m until May. In Scotland May also has the maximum depth at 4,000'.
So lots more skiable conditions yet with most places having far more snow now than Christmas.

Danny, I've had the opposite problem. A week in Jan and week before last in Swizerland, both weeks non-stop snow. Great skiing while there was visibility!
Having one last try next week to get a suntan

There's no way my toys are getting packed away just yet. If I wasn't going on holiday for two weeks next week, I would have been heading up to Scotland this weekend. There is still plenty of snow around everywhere and look at the weather. Warmer than in the depths of winter. Glorious sunshine when it appears, light until late, meaning longer days on the pistes if you want it. There is no way my winter gear is ever going into the cupboard in February again.

Easter or Christmas - which is the better time to go skiing?
The common perception seems to be Christmas is cold and snowy, while Easter is warm and rainy. With one or two rare exceptions, I would suggest the common perception is the opposite of reality. I have skied Easter for over 10 years, and never had a bad year. The few times I have tried Christmas have never been as good. As Ise (more or less) said: the season is not over until the fat lady skis.
(I'm really pissed off that I can't find a picture of a fat lady skiing.....  )
