Yea sorry state, at least using Don you might get preferential treatment, even if you are having to go through a third party :-)

its amazing - look out for chambre neuf - bar at the back road from the main town centre towards the bus station ... really good night out!! also, look out for glenn plake - if you haven't heard of him check out 'the blizzard of aahs'- he's the original extreme ski video guru, you can see him at the vallee blanche on most good days with snow!

Hey Junkie,

Just been on the phone to my mate who is on his season. He said that all the lifts were closed yesterday :( But that was only precausionary as it dumped a tonne the night before (Avalanche Clearing)!! So if the weather calms a bit by the 23rd we should be onto a winner.

Check out Cafe La Terressa, thats where we will be most apres ski sessions, supposed to be good prices and in a nice sunny spot.

What Ski Pass are you going to get? I wanted a trip down to verbier, but without a car its a hike on the train. But who needs it when Cham is powder heaven!

EVO, uncanny likeness:

Tony,

Gotta say good choice of head gear fella! Best goggles going the Yodai. That made me laugh haha
