My helmet has speakers in the ear pieces and the ipod plugs into the back of the helmet. This way I can listen to music but as I dont have any sort of "bud" in my ear blocking out any external sound I can hear other skiiers around me which I think is important.

Definitely a good interactive piste map which clearly shows the colour of the pistes and the lifts.

How to get from airport to resort and which airports are how far away.

And Claire, I might be going back to Milton Keynes at the end of June - I will try to remember to say so in case you want to come as well :D

Thanks, if you p.m. me next time you come to MK I'll see if I can make it :D As I'm not off for any real snow until next January I'm not keeping track of what is happening on here so much.

It must have been someone else's children you knocked on Thursday, mine never complained of being hit by the poma! :shock:

Hey - I was skiing up the Snowdome on Thursday morning too, with my children. Would have liked to meet another J2skier after my failed attempt in AdH earlier this year. Let me know in advance if you head back that way again. :D

This is my first photo upload, I hope it works, I have this picture from the top of Val Thorens as my wall paper at work, it always makes me :D

Great photos, must all have great memories too. I came into work on Monday morning with a Monday morning feeling but switched on my PC and was greeted with a wonderful view from the top of Cime Caron from two weeks ago which brightend me up for the week ahead. (if I work out how to add a photo here I'll upload it some time)

No I can't name the resorts but where is photo no 4? I like the look of the tree lines pistes.

Hi we were in Valmorel and St Francoise Longchamp last week too and found it stunning. It is our second time there and again found wide open pistes with no one on them at all. Most lifts we came to we were the only people around. Clear blue skies and well groomed pistes everywhere.

My guess about children being on the lift by themselves is that there just wasn't anyone else around to go on with them. On our run from the top of St Francoise to Valmorel we were the only people on the piste. The tree lined runs on the Valmorel side are lovely. When you have skiied some more there are some great red runs around, our favorite being Le Coq on St F side for pure downhill racing fun! There are a few tricky blacks too so it has something to offer everyone, just maybe not in the abundance of other resorts.

We also found we were the only English people there last year, it is a resort mainly used by French and Dutch.

We went as we were staying at a friends house at the bottom of the mountain. Luckily her house is 30 mins from St Francoise and 1 hour from Trois Valley so we had a warm up day at the Grand Domaine then three days in Trois Valley.

The first and the last. The first one, on the moguls for being the first gold Canada ever won at home. The last one as it was the ice hockey team beating the USA.
