I spent 3 years in Canada when I was in the Army. As a Brit, I miss snow like that cos' we get the wet slushy type, if we get it at all.
However, snow always marks the time when us skiers get to play on virgin snow.
Try it guys, skiing serenely down a run with a semi-filled pipe on a sunny day.... try it, you might like it.
People in Holland have a real problem with this!!!
