There is good news and bad news

The bad news is that this is Coronet Peak in New Zeland as of yesterday

The good news

This is Portillo this morning

Snow fell on the glaciers at the start of the week and as forecast this has given way to warmer weather and skiing on the glaciers has become heavy. Stubai, Hintertux and the Dachstein glaciers were again the best places to be in Europe for fresh tracks. Snow also fell on The Kitzsteinhorn glacier at Kaprun but it was closed in preparation for the summer ski season which starts on Saturday. The Molltal glacier reopens for its summer ski season tomorrow. Les Deux Alpes is now open for summer skiing until 30th August 2008. Seventeen lifts are open providing access to four green runs, four blue runs and two red runs

New Lifts
Solden Austria

Three new single-rope mountain gondolas and a new restaurant on top of the Hohe Mut peak, plus a new ski run down from Hohe Mut. The small village of Obergurgl-Hochgurgl is a trendsetter in showing what "Top Quality Skiing" means.

The ultimate ski area at the very end of the Ötztal Valley offers 110 km of immaculate slopes (90 km of them are equipped with artificial snow-making systems), and 22 ski lifts or mountain gondolas boasting an hourly capacity of up to 39,400 persons. Pure skiing fun without lift lines guaranteed!
