 Poster: A snowHead

So we are now past the tipping point, and many of us are looking back on our season/holiday. Has this winter been a vintage year?
If yes, Why....
If not Why not.....

we may be past the tipping point but I've almost a month left, so not going to think about any post-mortems just yet! Right now, it looks terrific.

It seems like it has definitely been a year for off-peak skiers. I had fab skiing in November, January and March in Austria and Scotland, but it looks like the masses February half term trippers probably didn't have such great conditions.
A per rayscoops a long year by Austrian standards. Schladming opened in October, most other areas in the Salzburg region opened on weekends prior to the official opening dates, and it looks like many will be staying open a week or two longer than expected.
I know not everyone has had a 'vintage' year, but for me, it has more than made up for 06/07, which was below average for us, although by no means a disaster as the media would have you believe.
Just my 2ps worth anyway.

For me-
Les Deux Alpes/ November. Slush & Ice
La Rosiere/ Christmas. Perfect Piste skiing , but no powder.
Livigno/ Late Feb. Good conditions, but stupidly warm.
So for me it was pretty average, at least I avoided the rain. In a total of 20 days spent in the Alps, I didn't see it snow once.
