So as per my post on 2nd January, I'm happy to confirm that skiing in Sweden is definitely better than SQL Server support, however much I do enjoy my job at times :-) Here's a picture of me learning to cross country in Klövsjö, near Vemdalen in central Sweden.

I'm a fairly experienced downhill skier, but what with my love of long distance walking and trekking, cross country seemed the next obvious step, and frankly, it was bloody great

The day we arrived it was minus 34, yes thirty four, now that's cold. Fortunately it didn't stay like that all week and good skiing fun was had by all.

I have nothing SQL Server to say today, apart from the fact that I've installed a Hyper-V based SQL 2008 cluster this week in my spare time, and I might post some details later on. It was an interesting experiment.

Currently though I'm just dreaming of more skiing and luckily enough I'm going to Sälen for a week in just 4 weeks time.

Nice!
