      Hi Alison, I live in the center of Copenhagen right next to the central station, which is like 30 kms away from Roskilde...If you need a place to stay in the center of Copenhagen sometime during your stay I have room for a couple of people in my appartment. I thought that it might be interesting to try to bring together the Danish ski-scene for a fundraiser party during the COP15, but I don't know if it's possible with such short notice...

      Thanks for the notes Brent and Martin!! Good beer for sure here.

      Martin- we have yet to solidify the party. Would love to meet you!! Most likely it will be in Ågerup, which is near Roskilde. Where are you located?

      What a cool project! Read about it on www.skiinfo.com. Would be interesting to hear more about the Save Our Snow fundraising party in Copenhagen, since I live in Copenhagen.

      Best of luck!

      Martin.
