Rules are simple, photo has to be a whole multiple of years ago.
For example, 8 years ago today (Chartreuse mountains, France). Today there is no snow.

Just realised that there's more 'on this day' fun to be had...
in 2018, it started not to promisingly (on the quad chair at Nevis Range)...
but developed rather well on perfect spring snow in the back corries
and ended very well indeed!
And just so I don't get a reputation for being a fair-weather-only skier, in 2009 we did something in the clag from the Rotondohütte (near Andermatt)

I'm fairly sure this was taken between April 18 and 22 1994, at about 10:00. The required precision ought to result in a slight widening of the date range at that distance. I don't know for sure as it was Kodachrome and we hadn't quite worked out Exif. I think it's the top of Nevis Range, where there was about 15cm of fresh snow and no one except me out.
That's my track, to which I added a dozen more until it was properly ripped.
The down side was that the 15cm of fresh was the wettest snow I'd ever ridden - great for snowballs, not so great for covering the pink granite the stuff had fallen on.
I think I know the date reasonably accurately as I'd been constructively dismissed the Friday of the week before, and was taking advantage of the last
of the snow whilst my lawyers got their act together.

Not strictly the date but definitely day of the week

Yes, it was a green run. No, no one knew how she passed through the netting. Quantum physics I suspect.

I wish this had been started last week, my phone's been binging like mad with "On this day" reminders and would have had loads to post.
On the way up Peclet in VT with @camskisam on our 1st EoSB in 2017.
so he could have a waffle at the Knife & Fork...

Nice pic... amazing how different it is at the moment from pics I have seen from the Petzl crew down that way...

By the way @davidof, this is a good game! Good excuse to trawl back through my photos (and thin out the collection at the same time!).
9 years ago today - Col du Montet down to Prariond hut with a moderately pregnant Mrs offpisteskiing - spring snow-tastic.
