    Yes, there are life-forms moving in snow (where you can find it..).  We
    are getting a dusting of snow right now in Colorado Springs.  Most of
    the resorts in Colorado are reporting at least 4 inches from last
    night.  
    
    My girlfriend is moving to Ipswich, GB in June.  She brought me back a
    couple of pictures of dry-slopes.  Riding on 'brushes' doesn't look
    like a particularly good thing to do.  I've GOT to get my passport....
    I'll probably come over for a bit of a cycling tour rather than
    snowboarding.....  I've got some family to look up in Ninfield (east of
    Brighton...) and I really want to see Stonehenge.
    
    I'll put the board on the truck and head for the mountains; 130 miles
    one-way.....

Weather in Boston is around ~60. You can guess we don't have snow in Mass.
Up north in NH and Vermont its all right. They got hit with 3 feet in the 
last two weeks.

    The conditions in the French Alps are pretty good at the moment.  The
    snow @the end of last year has held out, and there's been regular
    snowfall since.  More is forecast tonight I believe, which could be useful
    as the temperature was 15C on Saturday in Geneva.
    
    This year I've been to Val d'Isere, Megeve, Grand Bornand, Courmayeur,
    Chamonix and Verbier.  There are very few slopes closed, with the only
    problem being avalanche warnings (2 people killed in CH last w/e),
    and the French holidays.   The good conditions have led to
    big lift queues (esp. Sunday) and major traffic jams - 20kms @V.d'I on
    Saturday!

     Hey Mark I thought you'd gone AWOL on us! Still stationed in Brussels
    then?
    I see you've been getting plenty of boardin' in.Did you change your
    'guch' for something else?
    I went up to Aviemore again at New Year and it was a disaster! Our
    caravans pipes froze and we had no running water and to add to the
    misery we all came home after just four days with the flu! So I've only
    had three days on snow this season and the conditions were s**t!
        I think I'll go up to Aviemore next weekend even though the
    conditions are'nt very good(It's better than nothing I suppose.)

    YEAH !!
         Just back from our week in Andorra ( Pas De La Casa ). It hadn't 
    snowed for a fortnight when we got there and didn't snow while we were 
    there, but there was still full cover of the whole mountain although 
    I think that was due to the snow cannons cos the snow on the surouding
    mountains was dissapearing fast.It also meant we went all that way and 
    got no powder !typical. Even still it was great boarding,being able to
    spend fifteen minutes  going downhill nonstop and being able to
    spend the whole day boarding without going down the same run twice was 
    excellent,certainly not what we are used to in Scotland! 
    Also we got our first taste of the halpipe ,phew ,that is well hard
    work ,good fun though.

    Yep.  Still in Brussels:-(  Must get a job in Switzerland!
    
    I bought a Lib Tech board @Xmas in the US.  The price was just too good
    to pass up.  It's certainly different to the Iguchi, but I haven't
    really had the chance to compare.  I'm off to Tignes next week, so that
    should give me ample opportunity.
    
    
    Salut,

    dump,.............in Vermont !!!   20 inches of snow !!!

    is it ????

    Ok Ok !!!  So I'm answering my own notes again, it seems as though half
    of the noters in here can't find their way to a keyboard.
    
    
    I was talking to a girl who has won one of the snowboards from a
    ring-pull off a sprite can.  I told her that if she didn't want it, I
    could maybe sell it for her.
    
    
    
    Must be worth oooooooooooh mmmmmmmmmm let me see now..........
    
    
    
    
    
    
    ........about 50 quid ?????
    
    
    
    
    hahahahahahah

    Yeah ,
         I'd say so . It is a Radair after all.
     
                                      :-)
    

    I went to Saas Fee last w/e, but the weather was bad and the 'summer
    ski' area not open yet(!?)  If anyone has a reasonable summer session
    in Europe, please post info. here.
    
    Roll on '98.
