We saw them at the ski show yesterday. If you want a mohican on your helmet, they are the boys.

If this is the way that French resorts are going to be micro managed in future then I probably won't bother to spend my hard earned cash in France. I will take my custom elsewhere and I expect many others will do likewise.

It is a double edged sword. Make ski hosting safer by all means by regulating it but don't ban it. Looks like protectionism to me just dressed up as 'elf and safety.

If you are not back by supper time, shall we alert the authorities??

But if I understand correctly, the test case is not about going 'off-piste'. It is even about being a "Host" on-piste.

So if somebody goes out with a group (friends, uni students, met down the pub, met on a website :shock: ); and that person decides where the group goes, then to my mind they are doing exactly the same as a "Host".

It's a mine field!

Yes, this is my understanding too. If you are notionally, leading/organising/showing around a group in a resort on piste, they'd like you banned. Unless you are a qualified ski instructor, then the ESF will turn up with a Gendarme and try to have you arrested for teaching illegally.

The French authorities would really like you to hire a French ski instructor, or a French Mountain Guide to point out the piste markers, lifts, and where the free toilets are on the hill :roll:

I feel a middle digit twitching...... :twisted:

We will have to practice our "I am Spartacus" routine to protect AllyG when she is reading the piste map for us when we go to Tignes then :shock:

Probably all get locked up as a result tho :roll:

Oh and don't forget the Tarte Au Framboise :twisted:

I'm with Far Queue on these particular samples, although I can feel the strain on my salopettes already from all those calories :shock:

Just negotiating your way around all those restaurants will be quite some feat AllyG, I expect you to know the place like a local by the time we arrive. :lol:

Fortunately, we are staying down in the village and not up at Stalag Luft Lac. :D

Knowing how thorough Ally is, none of us were prepared to risk it.
