Paw stories

This is Minsky.

I met Minsky in Tafraoute, near the desert in Morocco. 

Minsky likes to go ‘snowpawding’ by train. Or so she claims. 

I told Minsky about the Your Stories section on SnowCarbon, written by skiers and snowboarders to share their rail-ski holiday experiences. 

The latest story tells how Alex Rawcliffe found 'a friendly hidden gem with quiet slopes in peak season'.

Minsky was very impressed and offered to send a story in herself. 

She is going to handwrite it and then dictate it over the phone. I imagine this will take some time. 

But for you, dear train-loving skiers and snowboarders, it's easier. Just write to SnowCarbon with some words and pictures.

Thank you so much in advance – you'll be helping each other and the SnowCarbon mission a great deal.

Plus, Minsky's local puppy friends (see below) will sleep more soundly because they love it when she reads them a bedtime story about a ski holiday by train.
