Not Long Now . . .
. . . . until the first snow falls ! ! !
Last season while most of Britain were complaining about the worst winter for more than 20 years, Winter Sports Freaks were loving it !!!
Climate Change ? ? ?
Global Warming ? ? ?
Let's have more of it ! ! !
The Snow in Europe had never been so good - in fact many resorts were reporting TOO MUCH, and had to work hard to remove snow off the pistes to keep them in pristine condition !
Even Cairngorm had 90 cm of snow on the lower slopes !!!
(now when was the last time you heard that ?)
The rest of Europe was faring just as well - even the worst resort has 6 inches (15 cm) of snow on the lower slopes. (As reported by the Ski Club of GB)
www.skiclub.co.uk/skiclub/snowreports
Sierra Nevada in Spain (the most southerly in Europe) reported an incredible 20 cm lower & 200 cm upper depths !!!
So get your skis out of the loft - repair the bases & wax them,
Check out your ski suit and get that zip repaired that you complained about all last season (or even better by a new suit if you can afford it !) - What a treat!
Actually now is probably the best time to do this 'cos many of our advertisers are getting ready to stock up with next season's goodies, so are selling of last years stock at real bargain prices (check out "Equipment . . . " in the left hand column)
And start counting the days
Ski Holiday companies will soon be bringing out their early deals and now is also a good time to check them out, 'cos they are always keen to start generating early business so often offer some of their best deals at this time - Check them out too !!!
If, however, you are planning on going skiing for the first time - LUCKY YOU - then read the Novices section (also in the left hand column) and this will give you invaluable advice on what you need to do and how to save money doing it.
BEST OF LUCK - and let's hope that the snow is as good as last year and we all have some Great Skiing ! ! !
Please Note
Our Best Deals section which is normally updated twice a week during peak season, will be edited when the first bargains start coming through (normally end of Oct/start of Nov).
In the meantime (to whet your appetite) we've left displayed some of the bargain deals on display from last season.
