I go to WHSmiths every day looking for skiing magazines. There are already a couple of boarding mags., but nothing for us yet.

76 days according to the countdown on my computer, and webcams at Les Arcs and Tignes available simply by squeezing my mouse.
I'm not obsessed, of course. Just keen you understand. Twitch.

rob@rar.org.uk, How do you get a countdown on your computer? I've wanted to do this for some time for the same reason.

And I don't get to ski until March, seeing as I probably won't be going to the pre-season bash

It was dark when I went to gym this morning at 6am. Always a good sign.

Michael B, I use a Macintosh which has a feature called Dashboard where you can add little utilities called Widgets. There are a wide range of Widgets available, including a whole range of countdown utilities. I also have an excellent webcan viewer which just displays the (re-sizeable) webcam picture rather than the entire webpage. All of the Dashboard Widgets run in the background and are instantly available by squeezing the sides of my mouse
Not sure if there are similar utilities for Windows, but I guess there would be.

If you're running Windows, grab this HTML document:
http://demo.hyweljenkins.com/Countdown.htm
Change the values on line 15 (setcountdown(2005,02,13,06,00,00)) so that they match your holiday date/time (YYYY,MM,DD,HH,MM,SS). Also change the top and width values on line 40 so that it fits on your screen.
Use it as your Windows background image.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I sometimes think skiing's the only thing that keeps me within a reasonable definition of sane. I love spring - spring skiing, long terrasse lunches, mushy bumps and the first miniskirts of summer (to admire I hasten to add, not to wear myself!). I love lazing on beaches so summer's great and slothful but now...
The night's are drawing in and I'm really looking forward to the soft touch of modern breathable fabrics gently wicking away any discomfort.
Ahhh, polartec. Ahhh, goretex.
Ahhh, that moment when you get back into ski boots for the first time and your feet realise summer was once again but a brief respite before reality bites with an over tightened buckle.

It was still a lovely Summer morning up in Durham, but isn't it getting dark early.
