Have fun(' )');

Yes, it's been a bit chaotic around here as well. It's frustrating when you start to realise how many people simply ignored some basic steps.

Same last weekend, we had dinner with some friends the other night who'd got caught behind problems on the way up, they saw a German car where the owner had the wrong chains and couldn't fit them so when they tried to help they couldn't get far. Having passed that they came across an English car sideways stuck who'd decided to turn around and go down the hill to fit chains.

Have the right chains, be able to fit them where you are, seems simple but appears hard :D

I would have said we had as much snow in Jan and March last year but I've not been keeping records :D

Went up on Grimentz today, beautiful deep powder, and I ran over a rock :roll:

Plenty of slide activity, notably the top right hand side of the Tsarva piste has vanished under debris :shock:

I don't do names, which one is that?

The 6 person chairlift that passes the Buvette Orzival, the piste that runs beside it.

The Orzival drag lift was shut all day, as was the 2nd Lona drag lift.

Perhaps you need a taller fence :D
