I wonder if anyone has ever tracked an entire year to find the optimal skiing conditions around the world. If one were really going to try and do that what would it take?
Does that mean tracking the actual amount of snow? Well, that would probably be pretty easy to do with existing data, but then one might end up in a place with lots of snow and not very good skiing. It’s not really that much fun to have to climb a mountain (risking one’s life or possibly just losing a limb to frostbite) for let’s estimate four months and then having one good ride down.
So perhaps finding the best ski resorts around the globe so you could spend an entire year going from one to the other might be a better idea. So is that about the weather or the slopes and how they are maintained. Maybe Hugh Grant and Jamie Oliver could give me their ratings of Verbier, Kate Moss seems to know Aspen and could also chime in with George Clooney about St Morit. I could talk to Ira Riklis for Vail and Harrison Ford, Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Matthew McConnaughey for Jackson Hole. If I get really lucky I could catch up with Salma Hayek and Paris Hilton for the scoop on Park City, Utah.
Well, that’s a pretty good start – getting in touch with them should take a day or so, then I really need to go interview with a photographer. Oh, and I don’t want to forget that Prince Charles and son Harry could fill me in on the Klosters, of course. Maybe this is really more of a film. Maybe Ira Riklis can give me the name of a good camera crew.
Wow, this idea is really snowballing… This should keep me busy over summer break at least.
