After the snow melts what is left behind?

Well if you were on any French glaciers last year after the hot dry summer and previously poor winter, human excrement and associated paper would have been top of list. Not pleasant!
You might also find a friends ski goggles under lift, POC do nice helmets but the goggle clip is not the best.

Grumpy skiers.


Having to smile and pretend they are really excited about going to the Med and sitting by the beach in the sunshine .......

Sniggers.......



BTW I expect you'd find quite a bit of dog carp in Val Thorens. Last time I was there, I watched lots of dog owners emptying their pets on the ski area at the top of Place Caron.

I saw a lot of that in Belle Plagne the other year, disgusting.
Resorts should be made dog free or specify an area for them.

They just need to learn that a responsible dog owner also has to clear up after them. Or don't get a dog!

Enough on the dog pooh now thanks, wish I had never brought it up.

The plot thickens !!!!
Do you remember that "diggin a hole" song?

As well as all the other rubbish:



It has been estimated that in a big resort as many as 30,000 cigarette butts are dropped under each chair lift during a ski season. Each one contains enough nicotine etc. to contaminate about 500 litres of water.
