WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[Giles]

We just tried to go into town for a beer.  We got 50 yards, literally lost Trish in a snow drift and turned back.  The town is closed, the roads are closed and there is talk about being snowed in.  We have had possibly 5 feet of snow today…...

If you look really closely you can see a chairlift on the left…

where's the St. Bernards with the liquor?

looks like you all are going to be snowed in, hope you get along with your room mate 

[michaeljcr]

Well, you did want good snow! When you're cross country skiing back to the airport, as it's the only way out, remember rainy, windy old Britain with fondness…

Hope you've got plenty of books or your Kindle with you!

[Giles]

We now have a curfew here.  No one is allowed out after 10 PM…...

[mvb]

I hope you stocked some alcohol

[Giles]

I have found the wine stock….

[Alex]

@Giles:

I have found the wine stock….

Hope it hasn't turned. Not that it matters at this point.

[rocket]

at least forecast says that the snow might turn to rain during tomorrow  "It's snowing moderately in the morning, light rain during the afternoon"

[Seul]

Remember me to call the chalet and tell to stock up on wine if I ever visit…

[TinMan]

G, that is a shit load of snow….. oh well you found the wine stock.

[zhivago]

G. Please send some snow our way, we could really use some in The Rockies.
Thanks

Aftermath of the storm:

Most of roads closed due to avalanche risk, only one lift open at moment, truck loads of snow being ferried out of town…

[Megatron1505]

It does look amazing though G.

[rocket]

yeah as long as you are not there….

@Giles:

only one lift open at moment

So did you go? I mean, what else is there to do?

[Giles]

Wandered up, but the only lift open was on the nursery slope, so did not bother.  May venture out again later but it is -15 C at 2000 meteres and the wind is gusting at 70kph…..

Oh yeah, doesn't sound worth all the effort of bundling up. Better to forumicate and drink that wine stash!

Give that a miss then…..
