Dave, that Hahnenkamm really is awesome, or more correctly, terrifying, just to look at isn't it ? I had the pleasure a few weeks ago (before my little accident!) of skiing over from Hollersbach to Kitz, using the 3S gondola, which was mighty impressive, and taking a close look at those cliff-edges etc. Glad you're having fun.

Goodluck Snowlily, and sorry to hear about your bereavement. I'm reading the suggestions from Dave Mac with interest, as I too will be making a claim from my insurance co following an accident last month which meant I had to cancel an already-booked trip for this month.

Reading all the posts from the Tignes group has been a real tonic for this (temporarily) grounded skier, and has been (almost) as good as being there (well, not really) ! How you found time and energy to post after such obviously full days I don't know :)

... but I'd rather be skiing, nevertheless :)

Could be an interesting second-best option for skiers who are carrying an injury (like me) which has ruled them out of the real action for rest of the current season ......

That's the best news of all; hope today is a little less eventful :)

I suspect it was the quantity, rather than the nationality of the alcohol which was the culprit !

Dear Felthorpe and other Tignes groupers

If by any chance you are near (how could you not be in Brevieres?) the chalet owned by Mme Dominique Maugrain on the main road through the village, please say "hello" from the English guy (me that is) who stayed with her a couple of years ago and who cancelled last May due to a car breakdown on the M25 :( Apparently her husband is also a ski-guide / instructor, having appeared, so I was told, in an episode of Ab-Fab when the two ladies went off to VdI to learn to ski.

Take care and best wishes to you all.
