Don't forget your thermals !!
:mrgreen:

Snow forecast pretty much all the time you are in Tignes, from about the barage and higher.

Highest temperature forecast up on the glacier is -14C

It was warmer in January
:roll:

Hi Andy,

I've been keeping an eye on the weather forecast for Tignes as well - my husband hates the cold and the snow and I'd confidently told him there wouldn't be any at resort level at this time of year :roll:

I just hope we can see where we're going, in all that snow 8)

oops :roll:

Could be first and last?
Tricky !!

My thoughts are that we would continue to go to the alps, and while my frau is skiing, I would just spend all day painting ~ instead of managing with some time at the end of the ski day, making it difficult to finish a painting.
Apart from that, I would spend the time just meeting and talking with locals at whichever village we would be in.

Here's some art you can do on the snow Dave

Wow,that is amazing! I definitely would not use my energy bypassing the slopes! In my more vain moments, I get to think that my pictures will still be on skiers walls in 100 years. That lads art could be gone by a week on Tuesday!

1. Out of the 3 of us, only I had a valid passport - my daughter's was nicked and my husband's was out of date. But now all 3 of us have valid passports :D

2. All our EHIC cards (for free hospital medical care in France) were out of date. We've now got 2 of the new ones - still waiting for the third one.

Why do people allow this to happen, especially regular(ish) travellers??? :shock:

Tony,
I know the answer to this one - 'To err is human' (Alexander Pope).

However, the last EHIC arrived in the post today :D

But we have a new problem - number 4 I believe - my daughter has just confessed that she left all her ski stuff at uni :shock:

Fortunately there is a very simple solution to this - she can wear my old spare stuff :lol:

I am NOT going to go out and buy her any new ski gear :twisted:

Ally - you are too soft on her.

Taking responsibility is a clear necessity for the burdgeoning adult and you should have pointed to the bike and said "sort it".

Tough luv is a good thing.

and ....
For next week, tough luv to MrG - "I don't control the weather"

I am packing now, ready to go off for my 3 days ski-ing in Tignes. There seems to be plenty of snow :D

So - I've got no more sleeps before I leave home, but one more sleep in the U.K. before I go to France, and 2 sleeps before I actually ski.

Hope you have a great time skiing and spending time with your family.Very jealous
