Hi, I am new on here, just found you and look forward to participating. We ski from our motorhome and tour around.

Have used both of these discount schemes in the past but does anone know if they are still going?

The Ski a la Carte website is unresponsive and out of date, also won't recognise my log in of which I have a record.

The Maurienne scheme, I can only find trace of SKi Eskimo (linking some of the mid to upper maurienne resorts) online, and only historic references to teh Ski sans Frontieres.

I will try emailing tourist offices but if ayone has any info I'd be grateful 8-)

The "Ski Maurienne Sans Frontières" scheme was last offered in 2014, which the lift co. at St Francois (20 mins from me) blames on departure of the chap who ran it for the regional T-Office. And, weren't that interested in getting it back - maybe not unconnected with the 33% discount it gave compared with their own pass for Valmorel / St F!

I'm not concerned for my own ski-pass, as hopefully I'll reach 75 by next season, and get a free pass everywhere ! (as I already do at Les Karellis, our own v-little-known local favourite).

But - I'm certainly trying to encourage the T-Office to revive it, because I need quite a few plusses to rent out a real chalet that's not in the dead-centre of a resort 2 mins walk from a no-queue lift (that is, on top of it costing half!)...

However... their marketing skills are around that of a 'Pumpkin' (our lovely cat). We have a fantastic potential brand-identity logo here, pretty well on a par with the Matterhorn (the amazing "Aiguilles d' Arvan; I'll post a piccie soon), but which so far has been used only as a sort of wiggly line unrecognisable as a mountain (or anything else), as logo for "Les Sybelles" domain (world's 6th largest, 310 Km piste) but they don't seem able to get that across either!

Will keep reporting...
