Porcelain and ski boots don't mix well. But don't let that put you off.

One reason why I always tried to avoid france. There were plenty of them in Serre Che too.

Looks like you might want to avoid Italy as well then? Both Claviere and Prato being in Italy.

They are definitely more rare than they used to be though

The only 3 reasons I can think of are
a) they're cheaper to build
b) they're easier to clean
c) their pretty much vandal proof.

Surely no-one actually prefers using them to the 'normal' toilets?

And, if it means that people avoid certain ski resorts/countries for this reason, then I would think that toilets are, for once, a ski related subject.
