If you hadn't specified the jacket it would be this and of course if money was no object I would spent my time heliskiing in AK so it wouldn't look as bad

I have been to the other half of La Thuile - La Rosiere, for a week's ski-ing. The problem with it is that it still has lots of drag lifts. One of them was so steep that the ski instructor asked us women if we thought we could manage it - at one point you were practically dangling by your arms. And another one has a very sharp bend in it. And there's a very long flat drag lift between La Thuile and La Rosiere. If you fall off it (like one poor person I saw) it's a very long walk. I don't know if there's another link in between. And sometimes the link is shut.

And the lower run at La Rosiere is very pretty through trees but often shut because of lack of snow, and the return chair lift is very slow. I skied it in a lesson and I couldn't believe it because at the bottom the snow was missing, so we had to take off our skis and walk.

I think the La Thuile side has the better ski-ing, and more modern lifts.

There is not an alternative link over to Italy. Someone from La Rosiere spams another well known forum-or at least used to-so I figured it might have something going for it... I didn't enjoy it.

The trees in La Thuile are fantastic.

Yeh me too Tony.

Maybe it was a country of origin: France

Resort: Doesn't matter

Sort Price: Ascending

Chamonix happening to be the cheapest?

Seriously though, it is killing me. I am watching CLAIM for the 500th time and want to weep.

You are closer to viable skiing terrain than most of us. Get some touring kit, and get up there!

I have been trying to justify it and find a good deal.. I should have straight up bought the K2 stuff when it was on offer on Sport-Conrad, I am regretting I didn't. It is a big outlay for me especially because I will need a beeper too and almost definitely a partner.. there isn't enough snow left on the more local hills now either.

Groan.

I went on a skiing holiday a couple years ago just with my dad. Pretty good but by the end of the week we nearly killed each other.

Allow me to volunteer to provide lessons/general guiding on whatever holiday your organise for yourselves as long as I get to go for free :twisted:
