I especially like the article's juxtaposition of the editor's statement "This has never happened before" with the last line of the article: "Trail was criticized by mountain rescue teams last year for claiming three popular hiking routes were snow-free in winter."

And this is the best-selling hiking magazine in the UK? That's pretty scary. <img src="images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
