It's august, I'm going surfing in France in less than a week, but I am sooooooo longing for it to snow. My 5 weeks in the alps cannot come quick enough!!!

This is just a little thread to inform everyone of my impatience!!

Ha!

2 weeks in Jan in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, 1 week in Morzine at the end of feb and 2 weeks in Tignes in march/April. It may be 5 weeks but it still doesn't start til JANUARY! Hoping for big dumps in Scotland again like last year to tide me by.
You off anywhere nice? Booked yet? Is it too early to get excited?

Have really started getting excited about snow this week

Nothing booked as yet but will definitely do a couple of one weekers, can't do any more than that with work commitments

Hey, where you planning on going?

I'm so lucky with my work as 2 out of the 5 weeks don't come out of my leave entitlement!! I love my job.

Absolutely no idea yet!

Conveniently one of my cousins has just bought a house in North Tahoe so that might be a possibility
