Funny you should mention Candide, I penned this a few years back

IF CANDIDE CAN
An homage to French skier Candide Thovex (@candidethovex) and his off-season skiing exploits

The boy from La Clusaz, a YouTube sensation,
Artiste, athlete, acrobat, the pride of his nation.
Skiing everything before him, all terrain, all conditions.
Snowfall optional to complete his ski missions.

Derek the Weather said there'd be snow
On higher ground Tuesday night. Rain down low.
Then cold, icy and clear on Wednesday morning
With showers by nightfall, without warning.

From the car park the peaks looked as white as the stars,
Which pinpricked the indigo from here out to Mars.
We walked up in darkness under the waning moon's stare,
The breeze light and warm, the conditions set fair.

We talked as we walked, the brothers and me,
Green fields, rolling hills, was all we could see.
From the Bwlch Duwynt saddle we saw all around
The whiteness was lunar lit frost on the ground.

It was 'One Of Those Days' with more grass than snow
But I'd carted my stuff up there and still wanted to go
Skiing on the flanks of Southern Britain's highest peaks
Who knew when it would snow next, it could be weeks.

So suited and booted, goggles on face
I pushed off from a standstill, slowly gathering pace.
The frost crystals crashing off the tails of my skis,
Grass hurtling skyward, caught on the breeze.

The hiss of the schuss like a thousand tyres deflated
Pulling up, still standing, feeling elated.
My eleventh day turning on the Brecon Beacons' peaks
Are the skis put away now for the summertime weeks?

Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales
05 April 2018

Cheers

There's some serious terrain when the conditions are right

Apparently “When conditions are right” means something different in Wales than it does in Switz. You are more man than I, props.

As an American of Welsh descent I always dig Mike Pows TR’s even super early ones.

I’ve never been to the UK but there are so many places I want to go. Wales looks beautiful but pretty hard scrabble for the skiing. As a New England skier I can appreciate that flintyness.

ooo, good call, I'll have to check that out!

High and dry forecast. Been good for getting outside. Temps are supposed to drop off next week.

Southern piemont may see some snow, but no skiing before dec 3rd.

Or at all! Conte wants italian resorts to stay closed over christmas. If that happens, he can add a few more to the "Dead resorts" list in the piemont.

The weather forecast says that this year in Europe will be warm, so I do not expect that there will be snow.
And in the mountains I think the situation will be the same. If there will snow, then only a little. But it is still questionable whether ski resorts in Europe will work, so maybe they do not need snow. In any case, they can always use fake snow.
In recent years, I have become accustomed to the fact that the winter is warm and there is almost no snow. As if it's not winter, but autumn.
Although I remember 10 years ago -10 degrees in winter was normal.

wow. you've managed a post where none of your statements is actually true or likely. Except that with the man made snow maybe.

Well Macron* may have killed my promising Ski Industry Career tonight.

I know Millenials can be annoying but understand that some of us are about to be forced to start a third career during the second global recession of our short working lives!!

(Sorry. No matter how much I've been trying not to get hopes up, it's still devastating )

*totes not his fault

Head of Tirolean Lift Lobby was so kind to say that they will start running as soon as they can even if it's only for locals... What a great guy, oh fine print mentioned that st Anton for example will only operate 30-50%... Then there was something about getting a bad reputation and damage to image... But what a great guy...

Something completely different, cloud/sun/shadow light was crazy this morning

[subtle plague]

well to be fair, the swiss don't care at all. Granted they are non eu and can do what they want, but it's not like the Austrians are exceptionally careless.

[twat]

mcdee nice shot



things starting

so schmeegruber anounces the first flockdown

a week of storm and föhn lets see,
but there is less planes in the sky, so the clouds wont get pushed too much around.
