No one like you new continentals who've turned your backs on the joy that is England in the rain. I suggets you take your stoke elsewhere.
Not bad for a loosener then?

horizon , your invitation is still ringing in my ears - wish I could have come, it looks great.
Looking forward to March - but I've got Chamonix and Jackson Hole before that. How about you - anything else planned?
Edit:
How about puting a few of your photos in for the calendar?
Particularly this for the cover which has the wow-factor (I thought Costin took it - I remember two people took out their cameras - but you said it was you):
I lightened it selectively to look better on the printed page -( though this is a low-res version for the screen)

You know it makes sense.

Great pictures, great effort....good on you!

Thanks everyone  nixmap, thin cover beats not skiing!
snowball, I'll check again to see who took that photo - filename and EXIF info should make it clear unless Costin and I swapped cameras at some point. It should go in anyway, I'm sure Costin would agree.
By the way, easiski and snowball, did you know that mrs horizon has a photo in the October issue of Ski+Board? (a photo of her skiing...in Greenwich). I'll have to up my game a lot until I beat that...

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

norris, if you mean the Pisteur's Couloir, no, it wasn't as far round as that, nore as long and spectacular to ski. However if you meant that name then it could be, I don't know which that is. You don't need to do the long slog you have to do for the Pisteur's, you can just get there with a long traverse from the top of the Charvet lift.
Mind you my favourite is the Face du Charvet - a huge descent with only a tiny bit of walking.

OK, sorted.
Costin did the Face du Charvet on his next visit and said it was the best slope he did. I imagine the snow was no good when we went (well, 99% of all the snow was no good!)
