outside my house on telemarks, we'd normally have a couple days a year
good enough. Not done it for few years as we don't live in the UK
nowadays though.

Yeah, because you never know when the value of 2^15 will change and
you have to go through all your code fixing it.

It's not clear if you realise that I'm talking about artificial slopes
here. As such, any comparison with real skiing is spurious, at best.

I didn't.
I agree with you. Of course I know that England is not the best place in the
world for skiing, but I was wondering whether there are ski resorts or not,
and where. I'm so damn curious I might have spent a weekend there ...
Thanks, Ace.

Have fun.

There are not.

and where.

In Scotland, which is another matter altogether. As I've never skieed
there I couldn't possibly comment on how bad it is.

nOOOOO, Don't do it!

Thanks, Ace.

Prego.

You could try the Somerset Levels, or maybe the Fens. You would be
surprised. Bit like asking a bloke about the beach in Siberia.

Speaking as a member of the unofficial Fenland Moutain Rescue club you'd be
surprised at the amount we get here, last year we had a whole inch for more
than a couple of days, more in the high places like Gedney Hill. Sledging on
the other hand was a thriving sport a few years back, speeds in excess were
seen in certain places although a tow rope was used instead of gravity.

Yes, a couple of times in the Cotswolds near my home, on real snow. Nice
grassy slopes don't need much snow, but the frozen cow-pats are a bit
disconcerting ...!

No lifts, so the walking up is hard work.

Not for a few years, though.
