There is a special handshake you get taught after initiation.

Drop an e mail to one of the UK based travel agents such as http://www.skisolutions.com/ (no connection) and ask.

As an agent for many companies and individual hotels they may well be able to help.

I have seen some chalets advertised with outdoor hot tubs and hotels but don't think this facility is as common in Europe as the States,

Do you know the calorific value of Ibuprofen Dave?
I wonder if this is the reason for the general expansion I am finding?

Snapzzz - for Mrs Snapzzz ....

Gondola out of La Tania and then chair accesses some straightforward skiing as do both of the Courchevel 1350 bubbles. The left hand one (Foret I think) goes to the side of 1850 with a little dribble down to the Plattieres chair which accesses la Loze and Chenus which is criss crossed with blues.

Bus to 1850 is an option but by no means a necessity for Mrs S.

About to book my next holiday.

Trip to Iceland for 4 nights to see Volcanoes, Northern Lights & Blue Lagoon. A mere £1,100. Not booked it yet, so if any of you know how I can do it for £300 I am all ears ;) :roll:

Pick up a second hand canoe on eBay for £25 and paddle.

Good links up into the heart of 3V - Courchevel and Meribel.

Runs above the resort can be quite fun - don't ignore them. Most of the tree lined runs are here (useful in bad weather).

Do your homework in advance and you don't have to remortgage or sell Snapzzz Minor to enjoy yourself (even in 1850!).

Not quite so knowledgeable on the ins and outs of the easier runs above La Tania as rest of Courchevel for Mrs Snapzz where I could give you exact yardage on where to go and avoid.

Now if you really want to impress those Canadians ( Jean-Francois Belisle, Erik Guay),,just casually mention in your conversation that you love that "poutine" (pronounced phouteene).

You will get a silence from them,,then a great smile and perhaps a hug from Erik since you have told them one of their secrets.

Only they know what it is.

Caveat emptor !!
