Well...
I knew there wasn't any snow, but went to have a chat with my friend Sylvan who runs a ski shop halfway up the mountain. Not a happy bunny, as usually at this time of year, his shop is full of punters, the entire area is white over, and today would be pretty busy. Judge for yourselves by the photos... The first few are at the mid-station (that's a 10 minute cable car ride from the base-village), a couple taken from the second cable car going to the top, and the last at the top of the mountain. There are usually around 200 people milling around there...
I feel for the poor sods who have businesses relying on the snow here, and for those people who've come for a ski holiday over Christmas. It's not going to happen. Sylvan is still renting out bikes... We are thinking about taking a couple of our mountain bikes up to the top tomorrow and riding down...
