Snow in the UK is usually pretty wet stuff, quite different from our Ural weather which was close to -40C on monday but will hit ZERO in the next week. Mad contrasts really. I don't like wet snow for ski, it's so darn heavy, - when you nearly always get injured or thrown off, but I don't like skiing at below -10C either.
