Long hopeed for it and now finally snow fell down, only 30-50cm but at least some 
They expect more over the weekend, so i am off to ski this weekend.
Also drifting is upon us!, they are not able to clear the roads XD

We had 30-40 flakes yesterday afternoon. I'm just amazed they managed to keep all the schools open!

Well, my school life taught me:
"Although most people had to stop work...
the roads are walled with meters of snow,
the bus will be late and you might not go.
But then you see he arrives there slow,
you thought you had off and will not go.
He takes a trip quite long and that,
he takes you to school no matter what.
The teacher cries you are to late,
seems he slept at school, FF SAKE."

Same here, no clear roads we were driving 40kph on the highway while a few cars have crashed and it turned into a one lane road.
The way back doesn't look very promising either, depends on when the snow stops falling.
Also some trucks were stopped due to not having winter tires - made me so mad when I heard this on the radio. Even the announcer that was delivering the news sighed the first time he has told the news.
EDIT: Oh have fun skiing

Whats your nearest ski station?
I was near Wassekuppe for a while during winter, but the skiing was so basic I didn't bother.

Well i got several smaller ones in a radius of 20 to 45 minutes, most have a lenght between 400 and 900 meters.
The next bigger things are 1,5 hours to 3 hours, depending on how deep i want to get into austria or switzerland. But "Montafon" or "Ischgl" are within a good reach to have a nice day on skiing. This gets much better because we have a lot of offers here to travel with bus and get a discount with our group 
Because nothing is better than getting onto the bus, chillin till you there, rocking the board and then drink some tea with rum to finish off, getting back on the bus and have a fun ride with beer till your home

That is, indeed, fun.
I have some big resorts, 1200 m vertical, about 2.5 hours away, and one about 45 mins away, but its only about 100m vertical. Basically, its OK for tobogganing.
Risoul is my favourite local resort, its got some great skiing, though I do miss Austria for its beauty; French stations are so grim to look at.

Well after a lousy winter it's always good to start smaller for getting back into it
The ones nearer to me are also only about 100-200 meter vertically, but the fact that they are long makes it ok 
But for France, never been there to go skiing, how are the prices? Switzerland and Austria are getting quite expensive, about 70€ for a pass :/

Well this is one of my favourite areas Prices[^]
Cheaper but only because it's not that big 
But switzerland  79CHF a day pass[^]
That is horrendous...

Ah, I have seen that on TV1 often, its a nice looking resort and not too bad at 47 euros. I would love to ski in Austria again, but its crazy to drive 10 hours when I have such good skiing so close. Shame, its so pretty.
Switzerland has to be out of budget these days now its let go of currency control, I cant imagine anyone wanting to go there!

Yeah that's pretty far, indeed. Only think i could think of taking that trip is to book a complete weekend from Thursday to Sunday. In that case it would be worth the time
Switzerland will, i really think they will, see soon that they are too expensive and lose a lot of tourists which is one of their main businesses.

Glühwein != Tea + Rum
Alternatively you can drink Jagertea

Or why not Feuerzangenbowle?
The only use of 80% Stroh I can think of, besides cleaning the kitchen.

Well thats also an option, but i prefer my own, 2 liters of red wine, 3/4 liters of orange juice, spices and a 0,7 liter botle of rum. Let's you feel warm inside after the first cup

I guess I'll have to try it some day.
I've learned that one must try everything at least once.
Like the first time I tried Kalimotxo (Kalte Muschi for Germans) and in beforehand I thought it to be a waste of both the wine and the coke.

But be carefull with the sugarloaf, once it's on fire and you rewetten it with the rum there might be a dangerous flameout :P you better do it like this[^] and put half of the bottle in without sugar
Ah yes i remeber that drink, not one of my favourites but drinkable
