 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Like many places it's been abnormally warm here. On the Sautet lift here today with a couple of Americans when one of them spotted something below. An enormous marmotte or as I explained groundhog moving about on the snow at about 2600m. I don't think I've seen one before April before.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

We always see one when skiing with new skiers or kids, I tell them to look out for them and then claim I have seen one, I ski ahead and drop a few chocolate raisins on the ground then tell them that Marmotte poo tastes like chocolate and pick some up and eat it, the look on their faces is classic, I tell them to try it but they always refuse even when I confess its choc they wont eat it. I know its sad and my wife always groans when I buy the raisins but it makes me laugh, my daughter asked if I was going to play the trick on her kids this year, I said I might and she made sure I did

@robs1, That isn't particularly original. I have seen bags of chocolate raisins labelled as marmotte droppings in French supermarkets.

Was in Helsinki a couple days ago.
Zero snow.
Zero ice.
Bulgaria last week.
Rain for several days.
Been just about the hottest European winter in recent memory.

There is something so wrong about this statement KenX!

You know it makes sense.

When the kids were younger, I convinced them that moguls were the tops of hibernating Marmottes, and that your average marmotte was about the size of a VW beetle (traditional, not new model).
