3. Why do some 'local' drivers seem think it is ok to race down a snowy road and overtake on the outside of a bend with cars coming the other way?

They have proper winter tyres and lots of experience driving on snow. With chains on you have to drive very slow which is really very anoying for the natives ;)

That makes sense. :thumbup:

I have to revise this post...

I agree to a certain extent, in that I have, and will continue to overtake very slow traffic, especially when I am on my way to work. Mostly it is vehicles with snow chains or people who do not know their way. I understand why and am not an agressive driver but sometimes I just don't have the time to hang around. However I am not the kind of idiot that does it on a bend and/or when traffic is coming in the other direction.

That must have been a good time to do it as t looks relatively tame in that picture. I've not done it but am I right in believing that the moguls get a hell of a lot bigger than that?!

...and good old Mr google should get you started.

Yes it is. You will need to get on the Pierre Longue lift as soon as it opens. Then off that and straight on to the Rochassons chair. Ski down the Chaux fleurie (red) to Lindaret and then up the Prolays lift. Ski round the corner and you are there!

I reckon it will take 25/30 mins. :D

They were taken in the Porte De Soleil...Over at the Fornet.

Where's that never been there :wink:

Crikey the memory really does suffer when you get to your age doesn't it!

When I went to check lost property at the police office they brought out a box full of car keys...Said all had been handed in since beginning of 2012!!!

So it seems that there are many decent people out there. :thumbup:
