Snow Fun

BT has some nearby snow fun facilities, too. Oberwarmensteinach (a name as German as it gets) even has a floodlit slope:





The last times I have seen a skiing slope... or any snow-covered area at all... were all on glaciers:


The Columbia Icefield of the Athabasca Glacier in the Rocky Mountains of Canada.


Snowboarding on the Stubaitaler Gletscher in Austria.


And most recently, the Jungfraujoch glacier in Switzerland.



This last one was full of ants, though :-). In any case, the climate catastrophe seems to be some years to go, still.
