Absolute nightmare!!...We arrived in ADH 2 days late, now seem to be stuck here airports closed everywhere.
Tony and his party have not arrived yet, were diverted to Geneva and put into a hotel for the night. All their luggage is missing. He is currently in a taxi on way to ADH and not very happy at all!
Clairebo is still stuck at Luton, was on plane for 2 hours then tqken off again§
On a slightly brighter note the powder here is fab and its blue skies.
:roll:
For those flying out this weekend....

We can plan plan plan our holidays, but there is just no planning the weather. Hope you can make the most of the powder with your new boots!!

Thanks Snowbandit for the update!
What an amazing journey, just to get out there :shock: Poor Claire!
I can just imagine what Tony is saying about them losing his luggage and missing a day's ski-ing! Maybe it's not just Britain that's having trouble with this snowy weather.
That's why I was saying that I hoped they'd postpone your interviews, because I was a bit worried you might not get back in time.
There has been quite a bit of talk on the news about my particular snow worry - that the AS exams start on Monday and I might not be able to get my daughter in to town for them because of the snow. I have fixed that problem by getting my neighbour to take her in now, in their 4x4 (because our road is too snowy and icy for my car), and she's staying with a friend who lives right next to the school. The school says they will go ahead with the exams, whatever the weather.
It's snowing here now, and the weather forecast says light snow today, tomorrow, and then heavy snow and blizzards for Tuesday.
Have fun :D

Snowb4ndit, glad to hear that you finally arrived :thumbup: You might have to stay and enjoy more skiing, unless the airports get their act together.
New boots still wonderful?
I imagine that Tony is incandescent :shock: Lets hope the luggage arrives soon for them all!

I would have got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky kids!

sorry to hear about the bad travel :( good luck and make the most out of what you have to those who actually arrived. I have a friend that's gone to Tignes this weekend, he was worried about it on friday and to date I have no idea if he made it! :(

what terrible news.
I really hope that the holiday makes up for it and they're reunited with luggage and, more importantly, new skis as soon as possible.
keep us informed.
