Like ur thinking

Just wondering if anyone can tell me how easy is it to get from Avoriaz to Morzine and vice versa for the non skier?

Thanks

AFAIK they do but only in first class, which is crap seeing as even our ageing fleet of trains has them in the intercity services.

Edit:

A quick google does indeed state first class only, however some sites stat 'more and more' trains now have electric sockets for laptops. I guess its going to be pot-luck.

Best advice is fully charge your stuff before boarding.

In whistler all the kids in ski school are tagged with gps so a control station knows at all times where they are. Apparently i hear that if a Ski instructor 'loses' one child without even knowing about it they are informed by radio. Clever stuff.
It can't be long before they could put GPS tags into lift passes so the ski patrol can see who is on the mountain and where they are in such conditions.

I know some people would object and scream big brother but the safety rewards are immense.

The technology is pretty well there now in the USA with EpicMix

Doesn't that just track the last lift you would have used though? It won't locate you the way the Flaik system does.

He'd been with his parents and sibling in very poor visibility and snow and "disappeared".
For the best part of 3 hours he was "missing" presumed lost on the mountain!
Pisteurs, lift operators and police were informed ....
