    I've never been "proper" skiing. Used to live in Canada so when weather was bad I would sometimes ski to shops for milk etc (easier than sticking on snow tyres) but that was cross country so hard work but not so thrilling, I'd imagine. Bet I'd be rubbish at it...

    Wow whereabouts in Canada, did you get loads of snow where you lived. How long were you there for?

    Lived there a few years - our main home was just outside Toronto on the shores of Lake Ontario, but holiday cottage was about 3 hours north and that was the one we'd get snowed in at! So pretty, and even with all the snow etc still less disruption than here on a grey day...

    where are you skiing?

    Italy this year haven't been there for boarding yet so looking forward to it, the slopes are meant to be a bit quieter than France I think.
