Excellent. You're ready for ski agricole.

Hehe. Is that the same as Ski Vegetal?

Remind me (where?) you are precisely?

Around 45 minutes from most of the best ski stations in the northern
Alps.

Pfah! You're miles away from here (Engelberg).

Had a splendid afternoon's skiing today. Not many pistes open, but
many of the closed ones had nice snow, including fresh stuff in the
hollows, so it about 25% of the normal terrain was available.

Nice. I must admit, your claim isn't far from the truth. I guess your
closest decent-sized station is Praz de Lys? Spent a weekend there
coupla years back and was very impressed. Good snow was fortunate, of
course, but what a lovely little place.
