Snow wasn’t exactly deep, crisp and even in Europe over the holidays but many areas are now looking forward to some good snowfall this week which will put a smile on the face of those of you looking for some more off-piste fun. If you want to set your sights further afield, go west and check out the Lake Tahoe region with their expected 50cm dump this weekend! If this wasn’t enough of an excuse to upgrade your gear this winter then visit us at countryside.co.uk and grin some more at the fantastic special offers we’ve got on Patagonia’s fabulous Snowsport Clothing right now. Remember to breathe.
