Four Months To Go

by Tom on Friday, January 26th, 2007

Tom here, checking in from the French Alps. I’m writing this from my cosy flat at the back of a ski shop in the traditional forestry commune of Les Gets, now a thriving ski resort. At least, it is now - last week the resort was officially closed due to a lack of snow. This has been the mildest Alpine winter on record, making the headlines in the UK, where the media have pounced on it as another opportunity for doom-mongery. Don’t go to the Alps! No snow in France! Etc…
