There are quite  good ski-ing conditions this year in Europe. Hope that my grandsons don't injure themselves whizzing down the slopes. Has anything happened yet about the ski slopes in the Mugla region? Did Elmali get a ski slope and lift working? Very pretty up there in the snow.

Unusually high temperatures and a lack of slow is threatening the ski season as popular resorts in Europe have completely shut down.

Some resorts in France have not seen so much as a snowflake in almost a month leaving pistes completely bare.

I'm in Tignes, France. Whilst we haven't had any significant snow since the beginning of December the pistes here are all in fairly good condition. Runs to lower sloped in Val DIsere are mainly made from artificial snow, but again are being maintained in good condition. We are much luckier than other resorts. It does pay dividends to book to go to a "snow sure" resort.

Berni and anyone else using hot water bottles, i know you cant look inside and see if they are perishing but a word of warning, a friend of mine had a hot water bottle burst on her early this year, fortunately she has healed well only thanks to the burns hospital as our local hospital was rubbish but gosh her legs were a mess not to mention the pain she was in... They are now banned in our house!

Post by: BernieTeyze on December 31, 2016, 00:30:15 AM
Thanks Karen. We replaced both of ours to come out here. I'm sure we were the same as most and had kept the old ones for years. It's a really good point x

We used those 'wheaty bags' that are full of beans and heat up quickly in the microwave. Great for pain or heat - and equally I think can be frozen and good when you need ice packs for pain.

Post by: kevin3 on December 31, 2016, 10:24:56 AM


  Yes Lotty, we find the Microwavable wheat bags very good, and safe.      And when times get tough you can eat em'        ;)

Ahh happy New Year Bernie. Just heard that one of our grand guinea pig children has just passed. Very sad. All part of life's rich pattern I suppose. Will just have to have another quaff to put the poor thing to rest. Life gets very hard.

I know Keith from Animal Aid is doing a sponsored swim today, apparently for around 1,000 TL.  So very good luck to him too.
