Yeah dodgy conditions is why we're not actually booking anything. We're just gonna see where the snow is come mid Nov & try to get a trip sorted something like a week before our time off ... gonna be a bit stressy to sort but hopefully we can manage to get some half decent snow

I'll be in Vancouver or Calgary depending on which one I like best. Which should mean Cypress, Whistler, Silver Star or Banff, Fernie and Kicking Horse.

Whistler had promising signs last weekend and i hear around Banff etc got a dusting this weekend.

Geneva is on the French/Swiss border but is definately a Swiss city.

That winter feeling is definately here. Great to see people getting excited about stuff now. The next 3 months will fly by and before you know it we'll all be jetting off!

I can't wait also... Will be my first time boarding as last year didn't really have the money to do it. I live in Italy (near the Austrian and Slovenian border) moved over here a year and a half ago.

Will be getting my new board in september I can't wait to get to the slopes only an hour away!! woohoo!

Driving out to Courchevel on the 2nd of Jan with a few friends. Overnighter, arriving first thing monday morning. To say i'm excited is an understatement. Hurry up 2010 and finish!
We've gone on holiday by mistake... are you the farmer???

Solden is a great place and I would recommend anyone looking for early season sliding to take a look.

I'd second and even third that suggestion the access to the glacier is second to none and a great town at the bottom.
