Monte Rosa questions

Sorry have no idea, however if you can get to verres ( by Train) you can get a bus from there . Also I think that there is a ski bus transfer from Milan to Aosta during the winter -

Do you still have a problem regarding Gressoney, Chapoluc and Alagna. Let me know. www.skiwithmax.com

My parents live in front of Residenza del sole in gressoney... this year the ONLY problem is that it's terribly freezing (-10C at noon), and most importantly NO SNOW AT ALL. it's all artificial, and icy. If it doesn't snow naturally, that's gonna be hard! Good luck wizofiz

Thanks bflydivas! I have been checking the snow report almost daily...not looking good :-( Still have a month a half to go before departure. Naturally, my local ski areas are having a spectacular snow year! Would you mind terribly helping me out with some questions? 1. Do you (or parents) know a guide they would recommend? English speaking would be preferable, but I speak some Italian and can translate for my group. 2. Can you recommend a ski shop to rent equipment? 3. Eating - always a priority; any recommendations on places to eat?
Last, anything a first-time visitor should know so as to be a good guest and efficient traveler in your home town? Thanks
