Ocelot Spleens Jan 2023 8:21am, 10 Jan 2023 36,048 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens You can ski anywhere there's snow. What you can't do in Manchester is go up lifts to 2000, 3000m asnowshoe your way around paths that hikers use in the summer.
Angus Clydesdale Jan 2023 9:43am, 10 Jan 2023 25,986 posts	0 Angus Clydesdale Pretty sure we’re not going this year. Perfect storm of less money (inc savings), larger bills, new jobs and the big one, important exams. Still, the mountains will still be there next year and hopefully global warming doesn’t kill the industry too quickly.
Angus Clydesdale Jan 2023 9:44am, 10 Jan 2023 25,987 posts	0 Angus Clydesdale Hope you all have the best time though. Please come back with great reports so I can have a vicarious season instead!
