Tignes Opens For Summer Skiing In Bikinis

Tignes is the second French resort to open for summer skiing after Les 2 Alpes a week ago. To celebrate the resort staged a bikini ski event in which a small number of enthusiasts took to the snow slopes clad only in swimwear and ski boots. Ski gloves, eye protection and sun cream were also allowed in this 'competition.'

The lifts opened at 7.15am on Saturday, June 20, heralding the start of the summer ski season which is staged on 20km of piste on the Grande Motte glacier between 3,000 and 3,500m above sea level.

The ski area will be open for the next 10 weeks through to 30th August from7.15am to 1pm daily.

The Perce-Neige underground funicular lifts skiers to the glacier in only seven minutes where a dozen ski lifts are operational.

A one day ski ticket costs 31 Euros for an adult, 25 Euros for a child.

I came across this yesterday online.
Has anyone ever attended this or another 'Summer ski resort'?

Might be worth a vist for a weekend but lifts shut at 1pm!!! Jeez that just encourages more time drinking...
