Good to hear you're ok Tony. My mum and dad's top floor was gutted by fire today, fortunately they weren't in there. What a strange day.

Enjoy your drink, I'll have one for you :thumbup:

Newbie with ski/walking pass question
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 20 Replies
On our transfer day in Obergurgl we bought a walk on pass to go and have lunch up the mountain. It was a chipped card which we put inside our jackets as usual and just walked through like everyone else. No one would've known any different. You don't normally use your pass to come down as they've obviously correctly assumed you needed one to get up there in the first place.

Personally, I'd give it a shot.

Sea sickness, chair lift

My youngest gets extremely bad nose bleeds (usually on the slopes as well as at home), one doc told me to let it bleed and another told us to push the nose to the bone on the bleeding side about half way/two thirds up (you can feel where the nose starts to open up). I prefer the latter, it stops it within minutes. He has had it quarterised but it still happens.

So, apart from said nose bleeds, he was very ill after travelling up the funicular in Tignes to the Grande Motte (plied him with water for half an hour and came back down), he's come back from two trips with a chest infection (a two week stint of bronchitis this time) and I have to stand still for a couple of minutes at the top of every lift to wait for the nausea to subside.

why on earth do we do it :shock:


Caron-a,
that sounds really awful! I used to get lots of nose bleeds when I was a child, but they always stopped if I just put pressure on the end of my nose with toilet paper. Your poor son! I used to hate getting nose bleeds.
Is your nausea with lifts because of the altitude problem, or because you're frightened of lifts? I'm a bit confused.

Ally


He deals with them really well now, just holds his nose with a tissue and waits patiently. It used to be horrendous when we let it bleed, he would get very upset as he was very young then. He'd also get very pale and ended up having to take a liquid iron supplement which was the most vile thing I've ever tasted. Thank goodness for the second doctor.

I've always assumed my nausea was me acclimatising as it'd go in a couple of minutes. I suppose it could be motion sickness, I do suffer from it a little.
