They've got the red Pavot piste open now, as well as the blue Myrtilles piste into Les Brevieres :)

And you can see people ski-ing into the village on this afternoon's webcam photo (lower left) :)

Brooksy - don't worry, I'm sure when we're there the weather will be beautifully sunny all week and all the lifts and pistes will be open :) :wink:

Here's a photo from the Tignes Le Lac webcam this morning, taken at 8-40 a.m. British time, and 9-40 French time.

It looks as though they're still struggling with too much snow today! There seem to be lots of lifts and pistes with delayed opening, like the one in this picture.

Top of the list today is Geno68, off to Davos shortly :)
If anyone else wants to go on the list would they please say so, and post up the destination and date :)
I don't add people to the list unless they ask me to.

And I've only got 26 days to wait now :)

The Sache is supposed to be the longest run in the Espace Killy, at 10km:

It's very kind of Ade to offer me a go on his spare board. I've never tried before, so I don't know if I will even be able to stand up :shock:

But it should be a useful addition to the video, whatever happens - assuming we can sort out all the copyright issues, and find enough volunteers for the stunts etc. as per OA's post :lol:

Fancy dress - now there's an idea :idea:

I wonder what we should all dress up as?

And, as Ade says, we will at least contribute something to the sights in the Espace Killy during our week :wink:

Tony, maybe you should add Bandit's name to the title of the thread - so that she can see it's meant for her :D

Mind you, I've never tried altering the title of a thread once I've posted it up - so it might not be possible :(

I am missing her already :(

If anyone else wants to go on this list would they please say so, giving the date and destination of their holiday :D

We have a few more minuses now, so I've deleted them off this list, but kept them on the main Excel sheet - so I can keep a check on whether they've written their reports after they get back ;)

Top of the list today is Melbatb :)

Les Brevieres is now open for ski-ing/boarding :)

The blue piste Myrtilles into the village is open, although the red Pavot and the black Sache aren't.

The Sache gondola and the Brevieres chairlift out of the village are also going, and so is the Boisses gondola out of Les Boisses (where the Brevieres chairlift takes you to).

So, Les Brevieres is now fully connected to the rest of the Espace Killy :D

And we've only got 4 weeks to wait before we'll be there :lol:
