...to Breckenridge, it seems. Nice little webisode series from some of our finest tea-drinking, Queen-loving freeskiers.

Its depressing how accurate you are - I cant wait to move to a country where snow is appreciated rather than derided. It'll only be a week till people start bitching about the fucking rain again over here.

chill out douche i still had fun even though i broke my leg,

and no it doesn't the media are completely based in the south, snow up north its reported as some snow fall blah blah blah minor news story

snow in the south and it's the main news story for the day about the big Arctic freeze and climate change, yeah the airports shut, but really, its not a big concern until it happens in the south

I hope so. Although 'Texicans' might be more appropriate. That'll cover the entire Vail-visiting demographic.

south sucks, full of posh people who look down on the north, up north is where the real skiing is, on real mountains (dales?) with real cliffs

you have milton keynes.
