Kathy, I forgot to ask, how was the skiing last Saturday? I heard that you were planning to get the new Roxy twin tips on the snow at Schlick

You know what you are absolutely right, Schlick has little on-piste for better skiers and snowboarders but I really like the ski route down from the Kreuzjoch, I did that in powder years ago and it was a beaut. I have always wanted to try some routes down into Fulpmes on the eastern face but have never thought it is stable. You see a few tracks though each time you take the gondola.

sorry mat, but I really disagree! Schlick is, in my opinion really cool for advanced skiers too, thats one reason why many of the locals prefer Schlick to the Glacier. And secondly the atmosphere in the resort is really authentic (for me)…you find real nice restaurants with lovely food…and it’s not that “mass processing” as it is on the glacier. which doesn’t mean the glacier is not a good option to spend some great ski days…

Just got word from an old friend ..Rigger Mike ( oil rig worker !!) I know very origonal… He’s in the north atantic on a rig missing his family and the mountains …he was a one time regular at Breckenridge…Possibly one of the reasons that the Brtish army has such a shody reputation results from his early forrays behind enemy lines in the a ‘Coloradan’drinking scene…hope he doesn’t go for a swim soon and that he gets himself back on his neon ironing board !!!
Take care Mike see you soon hopefully
