The cast...

This is a work in progress...

Mike
Tour guide. All round good guy. Diminutive, but confident and efficient, yet very relaxed. Damn fine skier, telemarker and guitarist.

Megan - assistant guide
Real ´outdoors´girl. American, from Lake Tahoe. Was a school teacher and ski instructor, and has led bike tours in Spain. Just goldarn all round nice gal. Oh, and gives the best massage EVER.

Jeff Harder - ´Heffé´
Six foot three ex gridiron player and US airforce pilot. Now a soccer freak. One of the two ´transformers´on the tour (Sylv called Mike ´Strüdel´and Jeff Transformers, after the giant robots, as they´re both huge). Jeff has a political science degree and hates Bush, unusually for someone ex-military.

Mark - ´Strüdel´
That´s not his name, but his real name is something german, so... Ex US airforce pilot and water polo player. Even huger than Jeff. Nice guy and Transformer. yet somehow slightly more evil than Jeff...

Dr. Mark
Physiotherapist, and slightly smaller than Jeff. Works in Philadelphia, so knows Spanish so he can talk to his patients.

Tom Slatz
Looks kinda grungy, with long hair and a long goatee. Snowboard fanatic. Trades stocks from home, and has an ´eclectic´music collection. Likes eighties hard synth techno.

Chris
From Virginia. Bush supporter. Very well informed politically, which is kinda frightening. Has four snowboards with him, yet only boards on toe-edge - riding switch if he needs to change direction

Tim
Where do I start with this one?
