I saw on the weather reports it was due to rain :(

Another good place we park is the top of the Super Morzine lift. If you take the road to Avoriaz, it's about half way up. It's a good way to get to Avoriaz and is not as busy as the cable car. There's also a nice little place for drinks, crepes etc there - so after a long day, straight in there. Job done. Just be careful, if its snowing is heavy it gets covered so you will need chains. If we go to Avoriaz, that's how we get there. Very rarely get the cable car, however I hear that the new one is very good.

If you get over to Les Gets, there's an under cover car park there too at the Chavannes chairlift. Skiing over that way is great - I prefer to Morzine.

As I am typing this I am getting Jealous!!

Ade - where you lot staying?

Sounds great to me. We really like that area in both summer and winter. Know what you mean about avoriaz, not a good looking town - all the buildings are brown so they match the mountainside in the summer - not a good look in the winter tho.

Morzine is a nice village, we also like les gets up the road - we stay there as well as morzine.

We are heading out on 23 Jan, conditions look like they are improving!

Hi there

Your best bet is the underground car park right next to the pleney lift. It's about 2 mins (if that) from the car park entrance

It's a great car park that plays radio through speakers throughout :lol:

To get to avoriaz you would have to get the train or the ski bus. To be honest I have parked at the avoriaz prodains lift that is outside and never had any problems.

Snow looking better now, when you off?

What one earth has that got to do with go pro?

Woo hoo :)

I can't get excited though, I know it can disappear at low levels very very quickly. Those resorts at 1,000m could be green again in a matter of days :roll:

Or 2 spare batteries and charger from Amazon for £20 - can charge 3 batteries at a time.

Aren't they a type of drug narcotics?

Got to agree with the above. I have the 3+ - if you want to use wifi take about 4 batteries for the day!!

I bought the lcd screen for mine in the summer, can't see why you would want it skiing though

If you put a sticky pad on a helmet, getting it off will be 'challenging'

Get a chest harness, much more flexible and you can give to someone else to wear to film you - bit difficult with a helmet!!

Consider what you will do with footage - take laptop to download to every day?
