Just thought you really liked me... ;)

Just checked with the ski pass people, apparently the price is for all of Espace Killy.

I like everyone,

Yest the L'espace Killy covers all of the linked ski areas ( Le Fornet , Val D'Isere , Tignes , Tignes Les Brevieres ).

It should also get you a days discounted skiing in Ste-Foy , Les Arcs/La Plagne , La Rosiere and the Tree Valley's resorts ( but would be best to double check ).

BBBbbbrrrrr !

Think I will have to dig out my woolly boxers and dust off my snowchains when I get out to BsM next Thursday.....plenty of vin chaud , should warm up the extremites though :thumbup:

Hi,


Just came across this .....

http://notrickszone.com/2010/11/22/extreme-cold-to-grip-europe-forecast-38%c2%b0c-in-switzerland-will-be-even-colder-later-pattern-not-seen-in-70-years/

If and when you head out to the alps in the next week of two , be prepared for extreme cold and heavy snow , and this seems to be the trend across all of the alps this season.

On that note, I checked the Tigne website for lift pass prices yestereday. Do the prices quoted on the site include access to ski in Val d'isere as well, or will there be an extra charge for that?

Hi ,

Good runs in L'Espace Killy , Le Face in Val , Le Tour Du Charvet ( off-piste that takes you round the back of Val ) , The Wall in Tignes ( in my youth had a good tumble almost top to bottom.....needed a stiff drink after that :D ) , Le Vallon du Sache down into Les Brevieres ( think thats the one ) and the nice off piste run from the top of the Toviere lift down into La Daille called Le Piste Perdue.


Have a great time , and a safe trip.

Hi,


Les Arcs last skiable day is the 30th April from memory , and Val D'isere/Tignes is about the 6th May or there abouts...you could also look at Val thorens , Serre Chevaliere , Chamonix.

I think if the weather goes to plan , more or less anywhere above 1800m should be good anywhere, with mainly North , North,North East slopes and a glacier.
