My thanks to the Dorset Uphill Ski Team for the fun and entertainment during the week. Great fun was had by all!.........Excellant'eeee

and the winner of the night time snoring competition goes to ? Only 75 years ago, alpine skiing was an elite venture practiced by a few hardy souls in a half dozen mountain resorts in the European Alps—where, inns and hotels had just begun to stay open in winter. The rapid radiation of alpine skiing from these small mountain towns out to every continent and remote corners of the earth was a completely unforeseen phenomenon, a profound surprise in size and extent. Forty million alpine skiers today can journey to any of three hundred major alpine resorts around the major mountain chains of forty countries. They can choose from among the several thousand lift-served slopes stretching from Alaska to the Chilean Andes and from the Spanish Mediterranean west to the Pamirs of central Asia and on to Korea on the Pacific rim. In the Pacific itself, there is skiing in Australia and New Zealand. Alpine skiing now exists in places as unlikely as Manchuria, Kazakhstan, South Africa, India and, on occasion—Antarctica. Alpine skiing goes far beyond any other winter sport in that it defines almost completely at least a hundred resort communities around the world and is a major factor in many more. Alpine skiing is the mainstay of winter recreation in the northern tier of American states and in the entire Appalachian chain down to the Carolinas, in the Canadian Laurentians, in the northwest’s Cascades, in the western Rockies and the far western Sierra Nevada. The sport gives crucial support to the winter economies of alpine Chile, Argentina, Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Russia, Japan and Australia.

The rules according to TB.......dont call me Pinky.......? I don't snore !
