Welcome to the neighbourhood, Saintsman, from your neighbourhood.

Bleedin' Poms/Limeys!

Welcome from another Pom - though I note you don't disclose nationality so I guess you could be an expat and will br suitably insulted.

Welcome to Ski Talk!

Where do you usually ski?

 

[Saintsman]

Thanks! I actually am 100% Brit (although it can get a bit murky working out how much English vs Scots)

Ski wise - have been a bit all over, Europe, but have settled on WB for the last 5+ year due to a number of reasons, some work and some personal. Travel allowing I have 6 weeks planned for next Jan/Feb having hit 20 years with my employer and therefore qualifying for a paid sabbatical........

Forgive my ignorance... but what/where is WB? Around here I know that as Whistler-Blackcomb..

 

[Saintsman]

Yeah, that's where I mean. I know it sounds odd given that's a nearly 10 hour flight and I have the Alps on my doorstep, but there's lots of differing reasons behind it. And somewhat strangely it's also where I learnt to ski around 18 years ago

This site is great for networking and finding some ski buddies in countless ski locations. Believe there are several SkiTalk.com members that are WB locals and numerous other members that visit WB often.
