some of you North Americans are so fucking stupid. Of course the UK has skiers. I live in London and can be at some of the best resorts in the Alps (they're mountains by the way, something you don't have on the East Coast of the U.S.) within three hours, hammering through some of the best tree lined back country in the world. How I laughed when I listened to the 'locals' waxing lyrical about the mountains (hills) in New England. Get a fucking clue.
