      Hi folks.

      Here in Quebec, you have to put winter tires no later than december 15th, its the law. Four seasons tires are not recomended since they loose their grip when temperature is below -5Β°C or so. Since this kind of temperature is common from December to March and sometimes April, it is much safer to use winter tires. BTW, the law prohibit 4 seasons tires in winter because of that lack of adherence in cold temperatures.

      On my car, I have two sets of rims, one with winter tires and one with summer tires. I change the wheels myself, twice a year. Its only a one hour job, its good exercise and I save a few $$$.

      Just ideas.

              Here's another fun one. This is my old car - BMW 335xi after a heavy storm! You have to look closely.

                          We had some snow recently in Dallas, not much but hey this is Texas.

                          My dog loved it so much he even sniffed it like it was Cocaine:

                          Then he signed his name in the snow like we all do, sure it may not look like much, but at least it's more legible than a doctors handwriting.

                              One of my dogs loves to do that, we call him "Pissasso" because he always signs his work.

                                  I was already in November and will go at least twice before the end of season. Love Zermatt. Was there end of March -beginning of April in 2012.

                                      Yeah I have seen that amazing video but worth another watch!! I have a full HD video of my flight but it needs editing, was the best experience of my life by far. When I flew over the summit it felt like a scene from Cliffhanger! The scale is beyond comprehension. Hey Sepo I was there at the exact same time, we maybe bumped into each other and didn't realise! I was staying at the ambassador near the train station and I'll be there again end of march to early april this year, if you fancy a heli ski. πŸ˜‰ over 13 miles of continuous skiing!!

                                            It was quite possible that we were in the same place....btw off piste is on the Cervinia side or Zermatt side?
