This sends chills down my spine.
Last year in La Plagne my wife, daughter (10) and myself were shuffling forward for a chair when my wife got a little tangled up in her own skis. She hesitated and missed the gap so i stayed with her to help. My daughter continued to board the chair (that we were now behind) and took off alone. She was too small to reach the safety bar and rode the whole journey without it.
We were in the next chair back shouting at her to keep still and sit back.
I still have nightmares of her falling, us having to watch it and worse still having to ride the full trip before being able to get off the help her.

This is the reason ALL children should be accompanied and i firmly believe the operator in La Plagne in our case should have stopped that lift when he saw my little one board alone.

6 to ADH.

More snow forecast all week then wall to wall sunshine for xmas day and beyond......Its going to be awesome!

Belle Plagne is nice, we went last year and loved it.

I've not driven it but even i can see that reims is the way to go. I would avoid a capital city at all costs and especially when it takes you out of your way!

Bugger Jan......Heres to Dec!!!!

Saw this pic of Tignes earlier.
