TheoBane "won" the snowdance competition - if you can't get to your resort this weekend blame him!

Due to severe weather conditions (heavy snowfall and strong wind) forecast in the next 72hrs, please be aware of the following important information:
1? traffic in the Belleville Valley will be greatly increased during this period, with peak congestion expected between midday on Friday and Saturday evening
2? in these conditions, it is highly likely that avalanche control plans will be put into practice on the road on Friday and Saturday night, which will lead to temporary closure of access routes to the resort
3? we recommend that you avoid any unnecessary journeys during this period and encourage your staff to do the same and to make use of the available car parks. We also strongly urge you to car-share when travelling to our resorts
- Don't forget your snow chains, remember to keep them somewhere accessible, and practise putting them on your vehicle before setting off.
- Equip yourself with warm clothing, an electric lamp, and drinking water.
- In the event of a traffic jam, don't leave your vehicle unless you are asked to by officials or police.
Information will be passed on by local radio stations, ALTITUDE 3000 (101.0 Mhz), and France Bleu Pays de Savoie (103.9 Mhz).
