Maggi and Peter (the Germans) did say that similar conditions do happen in the Alps, from sand/dust blowing from the Sahara. I forget exactly our conversation, but I think we were talking about the Dolomites at the time, which are further south than the northern Alps in Bavaria where they live. Also, in the early summer of 2004 when I climbed <a href="http://www.widerange.org/photo.php?id=266&gallery=montenegro" title="Bobotov Kuk" rel="nofollow">Bobotov Kuk</a> in the Durmitor mountains of Montenegro (former Yugoslavia, even further south), there was bad dust in the snowpack there (that was after a big snow season, btw). <a href="http://www.widerange.org/photo.php?id=266&gallery=montenegro" title="Bobotov Kuk" rel="nofollow">See the photo here</a> Hey Justin, yes it is depressing to lose an entire spring riding season… two months of riding gone.

Did your friends' friends' friends (:))from Germany mention anything about similar occurrences in the Alps? Well, maybe the San Juans will get lucky with one last final dump this weekend? We can only hope. This just looks disgusting. Did your friends’ friends’ friends (:))from Germany mention anything about similar occurrences in the Alps?
