Default I Love Snow ( sorry Alan )

We've just got back from Austria, skiing where we had a fab time in the snow. Well apart from the fact that I knackered up both my knees on the first day with a couple of bad falls that is. Hope you like the pics

Brilliant photos, looks like you had great fun. Trouble is, after seeing those, now I really want some white stuff to fall.

Super pics,what a shame about your knees though. I feel really comfortable looking at all those snowy scenes from my little piece of Spain where the outside temperature is currently 78 degrees in the full sun! I know which I prefer!!!

Great pics Bindi, I don't mind snow if it's somewhere other than my street. In fact if I win the lottery I might go to Alaska since I always wanted to go there.. in the summer time like

That view of the ski slopes looks totally terrifying. I could no more hurtle down that hill than jump off a multi story car park. Skiing just doesn't do it for me. Love the views though.

Thanks for the lovely comments guys

Snow is fab - if - you are all well wrapped up and prepared for it and don't have to get anywhere fast.

I couldn't belive ( well I could really) the efficiency of the Austrians. We must have had over a foot on snow on the one night and there was a snow plough clearing it at about 4 in the morning. The gritters were always out in the evenings, I suppose they have it so much that they just know how to deal with it. Over here in good old blighty we seem to all fall to pieces at the first flake
