Do we want to start a new thread for the 2018-19 ski season? I’ve just started planning our first two vacations (Dec in Montana, Feb back to Banff).

Yes! There are people driving around here all summer with ski racks on their car. Fools? Or optimists?

Heck yes.

I was back in the mountains over summer but hiking and stuff this time. There were some hardy people skiing on the Molltal Glacier in Carinthia while we were up there and we went sledging on the Kitzsteinhorn as well but…it’s no substitute is it?

There is a great deal of family anticipation for winter, we’re back off to Austria over Christmas and New Year with a plan to explore quite a few other mountains and meet up with some friends over there.

Can’t wait.
