We all like a good ending... Glad they Arrived

I'm not a fan of bulky gloves so I use a pair of the pax NF gloves. There thin but very warm as there made with wind proof fabric. I use them for cycling as well and never have problems with cold hands...

As long as you stick to using your phone in a wifi zone you will be fine. You can surf the net and make calls and text all for free with wifi....

What phone have you got?

Only other option I'd say is buy a foreign pay n go sim and top up as you need. This way you don't rack up an large bills and cam control exactly what your using.

I had the same problem with a surround sound I ordered a few yrs ago. Again with CL, they left with a neighbour who said he left it at my door. He robbed it......

Contact your shop, they have the contract with CL and it's between them 2 to ensure there delivered to you personally. You haven't signed for the parcel which means the contract hasn't been fulfilled. The shop and city link are both insured for this type of theft and it's down to the shop to order a new pair and claim from CL.

I wouldn't worry at all, you will get your pants. Let us know when you get them :D

There is but from the looks of the cams there isn't any snow other than what has come out of cannons...... They are clearly stock piling it on the lower slopes but it's not gonna be much good unless the real stuff comes soon....

Personally prefer something that traps the heat but also breaths.... I wear ice breaker thermals under my ski gear and find it so warm I don't need anything else.... But that said I'm used to the cold...

For the evening I only take walking boots as I think there ideal... I don't take any other pair of footwear other than my ski boots... Oh and don't forget the bobble hat ......

I am off to Val Thorens on 14 Jan and the web cams are showing a very bare resort....

Is this usual? I normally book a lot closer so have never looked at web cams this early :cry: :thumbdown:

I've been for the last 3 yrs at the same time and once the week before and there was tons of snow..... So much so they were moving it out of the centre of VT in the back of trucks....

Im 99.9% sure you have nothing to worry about.

Open a beer and chill...... 8)

I saw my last pair of skis in resort just outside moraine in a small place called champoussin. They retailed at euro 880. When I got home I started looking around online at skis and found the same pair at snow and rock for £450.

Point im getting at is skis are far more expensive in resort than in the uk, and generally with the euro etc there way more expensive, only advantage I can see is you can properly test them first...
