A full 2-8 inches has fallen and as a consequence the country is coming to a standstill, pathetic.

Wish i lived near a town so i could try my hand at this urban thing you North Americans love so dearly.

Aha sick, NS represent aswell. What skis are they?

Apparently there's going to be 15 inches in London when I go back to uni, so I may be missing the first few days of lectures...

Snow has reached the South Coast. I got some turns on the South Downs just north of Worthing. I made a crappy little video (holding my ipod). The snow was quite deep in places, but fairly heavy and wet. Fun to ski within walking distance from my house.

yea my house has been converted into a ski-in ski-out chalet with mum acting as chalet girl. locals love it, one man said he'd lived in the village for 35years and i'm the first person he's ever seen ski around it.

Yoooo, anyone in the Midlands, come and ski in Barr Beacon/ Sutton Park tomorrow. We're getting a load of people down so we can build legit booters on to rails and kickers etc. All are welcome, and the more, the sicker the shred. Peeeeeeace

Had like 20cm in North London, was working today but went out afternoon/night to Alexandra Palace, pretty big hill with a sweet view of the whole of London. First ever television signal was sent out from that tower - bit of history for ya there. . .

Got the day off work today thanks to the snowy conditions. I live in the Hampshire countryside but there aren't really any hills near by so I had to make do with my garden.

yea uni in exe, there's two trips this year, ones snowsports and ones ski club. snowsports are going to val T also 9th till the 17th and dunno about ski club yet.
haven't decided which i'll go on yet, may sack them both off and do our own thing as we don't want to spend all that money and just drink the whole week, we can drink in england, can't ski, well can't ski mountains, in england.
