Having trouble with the camera :evil: Thank Goodness it's still got it's warrenty.

those pictures appeared to belong to private individuals, if they belong to the Tourist Office then they possibly won't mind but you can't take it for granted. They may have been granted license to use them for themselves and not to allow reuse, I know my own default license acts in this way.

here's some that can appear here :

The couple are also known rather unkindly as "thick and thin". The wealthy Russians do seem to bring their own entertainment too, as evidenced by the rather large and well reported police bust last year.

Lacroix used to make rather good skis, I wonder if they still do.

Lacroix have a complicated history, there's two separate brands for skis, I've skied Lacroix skis on test and they were good, I don't beleive this is them.

I would have thought so as well but apparently not :shock:

but they are lacroix darling....

and it's a complete set of course including “Courchevel Exclusive” skis, Lacroix Smartrack bindings, carbon ski poles, leather gloves, ski goggles and two leather pouches. Not only that but they are throwing in servicing and a 3V ski pass.

If you fancy them pop round to the Lacroix boutique in Courchevel but hurry, there's only 20 pairs. Get there quick and you could be the only non-Russian to own a pair.

Glacier 3000- skiing all year round, no suprise.

NOTE- Pics taken from google, will upload some of my own soon.

You'd be surprised if you did turn up with your skis "all year round", it's shut in the summer and has been for a few years.

Do try and get your own photo's though, if you've not got permission you should not be posting them.

you can also get half price at the sports centre and hallenbad.
Gstaad is one of the truly great places to ski IF the snow is good especially in January, as you will truly feeel you are the only person on the mountain

One of the greathing if you are a good skier is that you can ski down the mountain in any direction ( there are very few cliffs) the worst that will happen is you will end up on a road serviced by a bus.
If you time it just right with the time tables you can extend you lift system with the busses and get the best powder skiing available without a helicopter.

I live nearby and I can take you down many, many routes to the road that don't quite match that description )
