Have to say this is the most 'British' questions ever and frankly a tiny bit embarrassing; thankfully given have spent ½ my life outside the country I can semi deny association. To answer your question I believe bars in Alps are getting much stricter because the risk of losing your license for the minimal upside of selling a few drinks to an underage customer who will most likely 'miss-behave' be it inside your bar or within the town (think urinating in street, vomit, feeling need to wake people up) does not add up. Go enjoy your skiing, order a demi, much more likely to get served than a large shot order and enjoy. I would also like to recommend you get involved in Brexit negotiations, EU will see the clear cultural clash and smooth UK way out of the door.

Well piste skiing will be good and easy logistics so real question would be why not?
Another 46 days until first and sadly only trip of the season.

I assume you are hinting at Grand Montets. Some great skiing to be had but it is the offpiste that makes the area famous. You might also find some of the pistes steep in sections. If you have only 2 days it would not be on my to do list.

If the feezing level is low I am a big fan of Le Houches. The only downside being that the limited vertical can make you feel like you are spending a lot of time on lifts vs skiing.
Looks great fun
Can we ask title of dissertation. Had a look through questions and was struggling / intrigued as to what you were testing.
Lucky man indeed, there is certainly an element of chance that goes into rupturing your ACL. That guy seemed to have ticked every one of the break boxes and got up smiling.
I hope after all the Cham bashing you can at least enjoy a VB, I guess Thursday or Friday will be epic.
