I'm off to Arinsal, in Andorra, this coming Sunday for a week of snowboarding.
Unfortunately, the snow conditions in Arinsal are not good, not good at all - 30cm or so deep, being maintained by snow cannon as it hasn't snowed in ages, and what is there is apparently turning to slush in the afternoon. I reckon I've had better days snowboarding in the UK.
However, thankfully I'm also off to Whistler in Feb for two more weeks of snowboarding, and there the conditions couldn't be more different. It seems they're having one of the best years for a long time - knee deep in powder, with lots more forecast.
Meanwhile in the UK, it's rain, rain, and more rain. Most of the population is moaning, but us deviant river kayakers are loving it.
So, is all this the effects of global warming? I don't know - maybe Ollie has the answers.
I’m still not convinced about global warming. I am however delighted that the snow conditions in the Alps are poor next week – serves you right when the rest of us (including your wife!) are stuck at home working. Have a great trip! Ollie

I can see why they've promoted you to 'deputy head' ;-)
