optimism!

There's optimism for you... barely into October, and they were testing
the snow cannons at Les Arcs 1600 all day yesterday. And snow forecast
down to 1000m over the weekend......

And yet there has been snow in Scotland this week! (Not enough to be
any use, of course).

The tempaerature has dropped, it's down to 10' now, there may have
been some snow higher up but it's foggy now and I can't see more than
200m

An E-mail friend tells me there is lots of snow on the South island of
New Zealand if any one fancies a diversion on the way to
Val D Isere.....

Yep, the kiwis got dumped on bigtime in the last week of the season so
most of the resorts have extended there season a week or two .
