Dear Colleagues,
Keeping up with the tradition, the ECVIM-CA organises its 3^rd Snow Meeting in 2003. Attendance is exclusively reserved to ECVIM-CA Diplomates and their Residents. Those of you who were there in Villars (1997) or Chamonix (2000) certainly kept excellent memories of outstanding state-of-the-art presentations by fellow Diplomates, muscle pains from snow activities, interesting fireplace discussions lead by distinguished colleagues, tasting the local dishes, and most of all socialising with current and future Diplomates at the bar, on the snow fields or at the dinner table.

 Are you a faithful participant or a first timer ? It does not matter. You have to make plans to be in La Clusaz in March of next year. Thanks to our generous sponsors (many of them already supported the previous editions of the Snow Meeting), we are able to offer the week-end at a very competitive price. Moreover, cheap flights to Geneva are available for early bookers from Great Britain , the Netherlands , Spain and France .

 We will be in la Clusaz and already look forward to spending some time with you.

Your local organising committee :                             Chris Amberger and Frederic Gaschen

 Main Sponsors: Iams Pet Food and Vétoquinol
