To Henry and all the team, Thanks for the newsletter I was in Tignes New Years with my family, and dead on midnight just as the fireworks were going off we felt the long awaited snow as if by magic. Then after the two day storm, and obviously poor viz, watched with incredulous disbelief at skiers and riders taking extreme risks in view of the avalanche risk 4 then 3 Friday and Saturday. But don’t despair your good work is getting across I overheard several seasonaires discussing H.A.T. so you are definitely getting your message across. Happy new year to you all. Regards Russ Campbell
