I couldn't solve last week's, though Will's explanation leaves me wondering how I missed it! Hopefully better luck with this one:

DINO ME. This would be a great puzzle to use to introduce metas to someone.

This does seem easier in retrospect. I do remember when I got a nudge about skiing that I went back and scoured the clues and entries for an indication of that. As Will says in his explanation it was not really there. Even with nudges, I ended up on the wrong ski trail. I used a European scale without Double Black Diamond but with a red rectangle. I found an old Saab logo that was a red rectangle and submitted it as my first answer. I think it is a good European answer.

Dino’ed! Personally, I would rate this one a touch or two lower than 3/10.

Easy like Sunday morning! (And I mean that in a good way!)
