Expensive petrol: no good for alpine snowboarding

[fivat]

I have seen a TV report on the Swiss TV (filmed in Zinal on Saturday!). They said that in the future all ski resorts will have to prepare the slopes differently because of the high price of petrol. Less often, and as clever as possible...
Thus I'm afraid that some dream slopes which were prepared daily will be more neglected in the future... Grrr! Let's pray for a lower petrol price this winter!

Hearing today the UK approach to invade Iran it will not move the oil price into the desired direction. However, the other aspect of this is that the USD 90+ price per barrel started to hurt US people as you could read it in some newspaper (heating + cars), so politics might take a different direction now knowing that elections are pretty close....

This might become a difficult decision for the Bush administration to balance between the oil/weapon lobby and the voters.... we'll see the outcome....

One thing is for sure: we need nicely groomed slopes, so where ever you are, vote for peace
