It's not fair!

some people get all the snow!

Ski resorts in the Alps have begun their season earlier than ever thanks to unseasonably heavy snowfalls that left some places looking "like the middle of winter".

So lets see, the Northwest is getting Hammered as well as Europe. Oh Mother Nature, can spread some of that love our way...Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaassssseee!!!!!!

Man, I wish I could afford to take off tomorrow for the Alps. All that great snow and you finish the day in some Swiss or Italian village.

I understand lift and lodging costs are brutal in Europe.

I believe this is a very good sign for eastern skiing this season.

I really think the slow start will be followed by a heavy winter.

usually on thanksgiving i am thinking about how this evening i will be prepping the skis and everything for a great day out tomorrow. While I love thanksgiving- its one of my favorite holidays- an am thankful for so much, its hard not to be sad about no skiing on Black Friday for the first time in a while.

Well, someone fed you more than turkey for thanksgiving!

Compare to Stowe and Killington, lift ticket in the Alps are more like a throw back to the 80's! Way better bargain than Black Friday in the mall!

Lodging is on par with Vermont. Though you can't jam 10 people into a condo like at Lifeline.

Consider how much most ski "packages" cost from travel agents or even ski clubs (which usually just negociate packages from travel agents), the profit margin of travel agents on ski packages to the Alps must be like the days before the internet. Interesting people never realize the Europeans are also on the 'net!!!

Not exactly a convinient destination for a long weekend though.
