This thread's taken quite an alcoholic track... :lol: ...gotta fill those empty Summer days before the snow comes again I suppose.
What's next? Well this season's not done yet - it might be mild in The Alps right now but I have a feeling there may be a tasty sting in the tail and I'm not packing the gear away yet. In the meantime - it certainly feels like Spring darn Sarf so we took Wednesday off, did some karting and then sat in the Sun at Brands Hatch watching the British Superbike teams testing. Not bad at all for March. 8) Back in the office today though... still a few good deals around for Easter if anyone feels the need... |

Although details are presently a little unclear (with various sources reporting between 2 and 6 fatalities), this has clearly been a major tragedy.
From the BBC :-
Other reports have given more detail :- - the slide is reported to have been between 1 and 2km in length. - the final victim was recovered at 7pm, from under 6metres (20 feet) of snow. - the avalanche risk level at the time was 3 (Considerable). |

From the various reports I've seen today, it looks split along the main alpine ridge; Northern French Alps and a good number of Swiss resorts have been reporting snow down to 1,100 to 1,300 metres. It does look as if Spring temps will be back again by the weekend; still great skiing from mid-mountain up though! |

Fantastic! Think I'll watch that again... what a great way to bow out.

Hire a car probably. Taxi or private transfer is unlikely to be cheaper than a small rental car. Bus will be cheaper but likely to take a bit longer unless you're very lucky with timings, and won't wait if your plane is late. Good choice though; stacks of snow in Val Thorens that isn't going away any time soon... :thumbup: |

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Brilliant! Just needs the writing to be re-done in crayon to complete the effect. :D |
