No, no, no... Its still 3 weeks when the Winter really starts as my winter holiday in the Alps is then. Going to Tignes/Val d'Iseré in France to do some slalom. My mind starts to wonder because I'm eager to the springtime sunshine and lot of snow on the mountains and of course my best friends with me... And now they've promised more snow for the next weekend... Because there is only app. 1 meter now...

By overseas You mean US? NO, haven't been there skiing. Liked to but it's a matter of time and money... Some day I'll come there and do a week of heliski - or at least that's what I dream of. I've heard that there is quite strictly rules in the US ski resorts? Like that You can be fined for skiing outside slopes & so? Is this true? But maybe some day I'll come first to do some regural skiing and look the places...

But Your government isin't doing it any easier because now You'll need to give fingerprints at the boarder and soon You'lll need a VISA too... And I hate even regular customs!!! When I last autumn came to Your wonderful land (Miami) the customs were like going to the USSR!!! You had to write all kind of papers and be in que to get authograps from different people and then another que to give the paper away. And after all the paper asked all kind of stupid questions like are You going to do some criminal in the US or are You a Nazi? Like someone would answer that I'll come to the US and kill someone?

But lets hope that the situation in the world calms little and Your customs can be brougth back to "normal" because I'd really like to do some skiing at the Rockies...

tuusinii, i'm not certain about the US resorts (depends on teh state i imagine) but i know here in canada they're getting stricter too. i'v heard mention of fines for going out of bounds, but i think it's either jsut rumours or it's not enforced. most locals goe out of bounds, including of course people going backcountry skiing, and i dont see how thye can fine you for that. not sure about the border coming into canada, prolly alot easier. if you do come to whistler one day, let me know & i'll show you around! just not this season cause we aint got any snow ;(

Thanks for the invitation - gotta come someday... Here in Europe Your usually on Your own if You go outside slopes and everybody does it. There are even resorts that say the best slopes are outside but Your on Your own. I do some offpiste skiing but if its a long way from slopes I do it only with a guide. My best one single ski was couple of years ago in France in resort called St. Foy Tarantaise. We took a lift to 2600m and then walked another 300m vertical in a heavy snowfall. Then took a litle brake before skiing and the sun came!!! After that it was 1800m vertical on a virgin snow in the middle of nowwhere... God I still love that. Hope that You'll get some snow. Here in Finland the snowsituation was also very bad in January but now its quite normal (Yesterdey it snowed 15 cm) And in the French Alps it was 30 cm making it 110cm and still snowing...

I was just at the local dealership, Westside motorsports off the Spokane freeway, and they said their motorcycle season was considered started three weeks ago. All their limited run bikes, like the Repsol 1000RR are gone, and nearly everything else they have. They had a very limited selection left.

On a side note, wormser77 from the board is now working there. Kind of odd seeing the guy you normally ride with try to sell you a brand new Kawi.
