I think its a bit tight the BBC crediting ski taxis to being a new idea out of Meribel when some places have been using them for years!

Hmm ... I thought Bandit said (previous thread - I've forgotten what it was supposed to be about) I couldn't get rescued by a ski taxi next time I'm lost in really thick fog on the slopes. I wonder what the taxi number is and how much they charge and whether they operate in Courchevel as well ... :D :D

If they rescue drunks, I don't see why they wouldn't come and save me :D

As Ian says ... a few pit stops don't hurt on the way down.

Apres ski is what is says ... after as in when you are finished for the day.

Let's be honest, what would skiing be without a pint inbetween during the beautiful day?
Ski lift up, ski a little, pint, ski some more, pint - maybe a bite to eat - ski lots more, enjoy the beautiful day.. then apres ski :)
Skiing: the art of catching cold and going broke while rapidly heading nowhere at great personal risk.

There can't be many worse feelings than looking at the inviting slopes whilst holding your head.
It's only a slope.
