In answer to those of you who post "anyone know what the conditions are like
in xyz, I'm going there for Christmas", can I suggest calling Ski Hotline.

Ski Hotline provide accurate, up-to-date reports of snow and weather
conditions at over 140 European and North American resorts.  All reports are
compiled from 'on the ground' sources and are updated every day.  IMHO, the
information is informative and accurate and not biased by being sponsored by
a tour company who are trying to convince you to book a holiday.  The
information includes snow depths, number of lifts/pistes open, whether links
to other resorts are open, plus weather prospects and freezing levels for the
next 24 hours.

There are two ways to access the information.  Say you want to know the
information for St.  Anton, dial the number for Austria P-Z and say "yes
please" when you hear St.  Anton on the menu.  Alternatively, if you have a
tone phone and are connected via a digital exchange, dial 0891 881 900 then
dial the 3 digit number for the resort of your choice when prompted to do so.
I have included the complete list of resorts below.  It is fairly
comprehensive, file it away somewhere and there will be no excuses for
incorrect spellings of Kitsbuhel in future postings :-)

The numbers are UK given in UK format.  I have no idea if you can dial an
0891 number from outsize the UK, but if you can it would be +44 891....
Perhaps someone would give it a go and post the net if it works?

Numbers for groups of resorts are as follows:

    France : Resorts A-I		0891 654 640
    France : Resorts J-L		0891 654 641
    France : Resorts M-S		0891 654 646
