Everyone is sleeping when I’m here…

I/we love skiing but this season has been underwhelming here :(

Too hot, too many bad weather weekends, not very much snow.

Shame… though, you’re kinda in the vicinity of some of the world’s best resorts aren’t you? I guess you mean locally, nearby places right?
 
Found a little spot of rotten grass to hang on

In around 3 hours I can be in the Dolomiti are, a place that is are awesome as expensive all year round. Never been there for skiing with the kids so far, I wait for all of them being old enough to fully enjoy the place.

We ski in some resorts at lower altitude (a bad thing it is what it is) within 1 hour drive (a really good thing!)

Kinda the same here I live quite near the big resorts in scandinavia, 3-4 hours by car. But so far we’ve been happy with the small places in nearby, and it’s much cheaper. A season pass for my family of 4 is just 500 euro, and it’s just a short drive.
 
In my region skiing is free for under under 8, 10€/day for 8-18 yo, 44 full day for adults in high season.

Very competitive for families with kids like us. I love it.

I would like to go skiing once. I dream of it when I see older movies which had protagonists tearing through snow.

Here’s for you then :giggle: This was yesterday.. I was last one down so I took the opportunity to record when no one was watching :rofl
I looks slower than it was!!! Or that’s my excuse for being careful on jumps :bag

Anyway, it’s all melting snow so it’s kinda slushy and soft, not ideal conditions. But it was a good day.

I see lots of off track and jump opportunities there when there's enough snow.

When I was a teenager I was all about jumps, off tracks and risky stuff and me and my brother used to ski full day non stop, with a sandwitch in a pocket, somenthing to drink and some chocolate.
So much fun.
I really love skiing and mountains.

It’s great fun and even if I’m very careful, i learned last year that even if being careful and going slow, a little fall can break something :bag

Fell forward last year on my chest and broke a rib, the lowest rib. Nothing to do about that, but damn it took 5-6 months to heal :facepalm.
