Not for the first time this season. Links have been there but snow wasn't very good.
We received close to 6' since last Monday. It felt truly bottomless in places and due to wind some very impressive wind lips formed over 3 meters high. Hopefully it will continue to fall. People who are on holidays this week are extremely lucky - it's still very quiet and snow is amazing and there is lot of it.

With recent snow fall there should be enough snow to last till April.

It's not difficult to use at all. From main page select airports, then select Geneva and you will find a link to timetable.

Morzine snow conditions

Yeah, this is snow with no base :) The problem this season is that snow has been arriving in big dumps rather than accumulating in smaller increments over more frequent snow falls.
Sore calves

How tight does she pull power straps? Sometimes when these are pulled too tight they cut off circulation which puts strain on calves. I do get aching calves but only after my first couple days of skiing, a bit of stretching usually helps and I am fine for the rest of the season. But I feel it only after skiing not during.

They are all covered in neoprene and duct tape and the case is secure with the zips right up close either side and a piece of copper wire going through the lock holes on the zips. They are also secured to the clothes straps inside the bag so can't slide out or be pulled out....basically, will the let me put them through check in to get on the plane Saturday :?:


get a bigger suitcase or a large duffel bag :)

Lot of people are very good on blades and can ski them literally everywhere. Blades are often recommended for people who can't figure out how to get out of the back seat. Since blades have no tails to ride, people tend to learn good form fairly quickly:)
