Hi Frosty,Thanks for the detailed answer.A few years back I visited Mt. Hood during the Summer, and the amount of snow was pathetic: one could actually measure the runs in Meters :lol:Wistler would be nice, but is too far – time-to-get-ther-wise (ditto NZ and South America 8))I'll check Colorado: thanks for the pointer.Happy trails,BR.
