I loathe ski school lanes.
Whilst in ADH the Snapzzz family waited 30 mins for a drag lift while the same kids went up and down the run 4 times by skiing back to the front of the queue.


Queue?

ADH?

Drag lift?

30 minutes?

Are you sure you weren't just being dim?????


It was that one that runs up the side of the village from le bergers and drops off near the DMC. It was about 3:30 and everyone was trying to get back. Alone I would have taken a chair up higher (romains?) but mrs snapzzz wanted to go back that way and she was stamping her feet!

And it was nearly new year.

Prob the only real queue I saw all week to be fair tho.

Well my friend, the moral of the story is a simple one. One which I guess you already know. But just to remind you......if you want to head up to the DMC in ADH, don't head back down to the bottom of town first. Or let the Mrs decide which way to go when you're out on the slopes. Or try to take a busy route late in the day. Either would have been suitable in this scenario.

Glad to be of assistance
