Taking off in the a.m. for Val Thorens for 10 days.

Web cam was looking very late spring today... might be a bit more like Wake-Boarding from time to time.?

I was there early March and it was very cold and sunny so all the runs were pretty damn hard. Ice everywhere.

well... think I can count on slushy, Spring Snow and sunny weather for most of it! :)

Enjoy. Did VT last year as was in the Bell for 5 weeks with full area pass. .. was icy then too but is high up i guess. Whistler right now is all slushy but fun!

Pretty slushy down low, but good "pushy?" conditions up top.. not icey. We know the guys at one of the snowboard shops from years gone by.. hooked up with them today -local end of season parties going on...

good time of year to be here... looking forward to 10 days away from the rat race i've managed to manoeuvre myself into at home.

Hoping we get a late season snow here! I bought an 8 days consecutive pass... so going to either be injured, or just completely knacked when I actually leave.


got me thinking of the past...Snowbird used to open Little Cloud bowl - Sat/Sun skiing after the official Closing bell... usually 7 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. as after that it would get too warm & slushy.

I can remember July 4th, maybe 1995? snowed in the a.m. above about 11,000 feet.. we sledded 6 inches of fresh until it turned to mashed potatoes! all of 90 minutes! :)

As for sledding...thats firmly in my plans to own one if i end up here. how did the hol go?
